Immune Profiles in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Patients and Healthy Volunteers Through Thoracic Duct Cannulation

Официальное название

Analysis of Lymphatic Fluid From the Thoracic Duct of Healthy People and People With Multiple Sclerosis (MS) Before and After Ofatumumab Treatment

Обзор

In this study, lymph fluid will be collected by cannulation of the thoracic duct, a minimally invasive procedure performed by interventional radiologists. Single time point and serial collection through an indwelling cannula will allow for comparisons between immune cells in the periphery and deep lymphatic system in MS and healthy controls and in MS, changes in responses to a FDA approved therapy ofatumumab.

Вмешательства

• Процедура thoracic duct cannulation
  Contrast is injected into lymph nodes until lymphatics visualized at about level of L3 lumbar spine. After target lymphatic vessel is identified, needle is passed transabdominally into the vessel. Guidewire is advanced through the needle into the lymph vessel \& advanced into thoracic duct. Microcatheter is then advanced into thoracic duct over the wire. IN \& OUT-up to 100mL collected via catheter over 30-min at 2 levels within thoracic duct, then catheter removed. INDWELLING-As described abo
