Summary: This study will examine changes in the tumor microenvironment (TME) induced by 14 days of pre-operative IL-1-inhibiting therapy among patients with early breast cancer (including TNBC and ER-low positive). Key immune biomarkers (TILs, TAMs, NK cells, IL1\[beta\] and inflammasome component expression) will be evaluated at baseline and following 14 days of IL-1 antagonist therapy (Anakinra) using pa...

Background: Anakinra is a drug used to treat people with certain diseases that affect their immune systems. Sometimes anakinra can cause proteins under the skin to clump together. These clumps are called amyloidosis; they can spread to other organs. The only way to diagnose amyloidosis is to remove a piece of tissue (biopsy). Researchers want to find a way to locate amyloidosis in internal organs using positr...

Summary: The TRIPS study is a prospective, multi-center, double-blind, adaptively randomized, placebo-controlled clinical trial of the drug anakinra for reversal of moderate to severe hyperinflammation in children with sepsis-induced multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS).

Summary: Barotrauma (pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum) is a well-described complication of Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS), especially in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) (16.1% in COVID-19, and about 6% in non-COVID-19 ARDS). Macklin effect was recently discovered by our group as an accurate radiological predictor of barotrauma in COVID-19 ARDS; the Investigators also found that...

Summary: End-stage heart failure (HF) is a progressive illness with a mortality rate similar to most advanced cancers.Roughly 5% of patients with HF have end-stage disease that is refractory to medical therapy (stage D heart failure). When patients reach this point in their disease, the only treatments known to prolong life are cardiac transplantation or left ventricular assist devices. In patients who do ...

Summary: To evaluate the efficacy on clinical symptoms in case of FMF attack among FMF patients resistant to Colchicine of * on demand anakinra treatment (100 mg/d from the prodromal phase of the attack until 24 hours of remission (during 7 days maximum) associated with daily colchicine. * compared to analgesic associated with daily colchicine in patients refusing continuous anti-IL-1 treatment.

Summary: This is an observational pre-post study to observe if the off label use of anti-IL1 therapies, such as anakinra or canakinumab, can block ACVR1-induced flare activity and heterotopic ossification in FOP. It will also generate key tools and preliminary data that are needed to design a future Phase II study. This study specifically focuses on patients with severe FOP who are being considered by thei...

Summary: A Phase II randomized, placebo controlled study design of anakinra (Kineret) in corticosteroid-resistant or intolerant Meniere's disease (CR-MD)and corticosteroid-resistant or intolerant autoimmune inner ear disease (CR-AIED) patients. Patients will be randomized by a 2:1 allocation to anakinra or placebo for 42 continuous days. After day 42, a second placebo-controlled period will begin for an ad...

Summary: Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries are extremely common. On average, 50% of individuals suffering an ACL injury will develop radiographic osteoarthritis (OA) 10 to 20 years after injury. Unfortunately, ACL reconstruction does not prevent risk of future OA. Interleukin-1 (IL-1) levels in the human knee joint increase transiently after an ACL injury. In animal experiments, if interleukin-1 le...

Summary: Obesity is a multifactorial disease in which excess body fat accumulation increases the risk of other chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes. The primary cause of obesity is the energy imbalance between calories consumed and expended. A balanced diet is essential for weight control and maintaining a healthy body weight. In this context, the intake of a high saturated fat meal (HSFM) plays a detr...

Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the immunomodulatory effects of the drugs dexamethasone, tocilizumab and anakinra in healthy male subjects aged 18 to 35 undergoing experimental endotoxemia. The main questions it aims to answer are: * What are the effects of these drugs on the development of immunoparalysis in a repeated human endotoxemia model? * What is the extent of the neuroin...

Summary: OBJECTIVES Primary: To evaluate efficacy of treatment with anakinra in subjects with CF who are ≥ 12 years of age by means of lung clearance index (LCI). Secondary To evaluate safety and tolerability of treatment with anakinra as well as to investigate further effects of anakinra on lung function and quality of life (QOL) in subjects with CF.
