Autoimmune encephalitis

This study tested an extra dose of the HIPRA COVID-19 vaccine in 241 adults with conditions like HIV, kidney disease, or autoimmune disorders that weaken the immune system. The goal was to see if the booster raises antibody levels against virus variants and remains safe. Research…

This early-stage trial tested a new drug called ART5803 in 64 healthy adults to see if it is safe. ART5803 is a lab-made antibody designed to block harmful immune proteins that attack the brain in autoimmune encephalitis. The study gave single or multiple doses and compared them …

This early-phase trial tested a new drug called VIS171 in 61 people: first in healthy volunteers, then in patients with autoimmune diseases. The main goal was to check safety and how the body processes the drug. No results on whether it actually helps the disease are available ye…

This study looked at a device called GLOBAFFIN that filters antibodies from the blood to help people with autoimmune diseases. It involved 34 adults and measured how much harmful antibodies were removed and if patients felt better. The goal was to see if the device is safe and wo…

This study looked at whether a diet low in salt and sugar can reduce common side effects of corticosteroid treatment, such as weight gain, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Fifty adults with autoimmune diseases or asthma who were starting high-dose corticosteroids were randomly …

This study looked at 719 people, including patients with autoimmune connective tissue diseases like myositis, their blood relatives, and healthy volunteers. Researchers collected blood samples and medical histories to find genetic and environmental factors that may trigger these …

This study examines a rare brain disease called anti-LGI1 encephalitis, where the immune system attacks a protein in the brain, causing memory loss, confusion, and seizures. Researchers will review medical records from 112 patients across five hospitals in Eastern China to see ho…

This completed study looked at how people learn and remember associations, like names or where you met someone. Researchers compared healthy young and older adults with patients who have memory problems from Alzheimer's or semantic dementia. They used memory tests and brain scans…

This study looked at over 13,000 people with chronic inflammatory rheumatism or autoimmune diseases who had or were suspected to have COVID-19. Researchers tracked how many developed severe COVID-19 requiring intensive care or leading to death. They also examined risk factors lik…

This early-stage study tested a single dose of a new drug called ART5803 in 7 healthy adults to see if it is safe and how it interacts with another medicine (IVIG). The goal was to gather information for future research on autoimmune encephalitis, a condition where the immune sys…

This completed study followed 73 people with autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or multiple sclerosis who were starting treatment with rituximab. The goal was to track how many developed serious infections and to understand what factors increase that risk. Researchers …

This study looked at how gadolinium, a dye used in MRI scans, changes the QSM signal in the brain's white matter. 73 patients with inflammatory central nervous system conditions had MRI scans before and after receiving gadolinium. The goal was to measure any differences in the si…

This study looked at 20 adults who had NMDA receptor encephalitis, a rare brain condition that can cause psychosis, memory loss, and seizures. Researchers used questionnaires to measure thinking skills, mood, fatigue, and quality of life after the acute phase. The goal was to und…

This early-phase study tested the safety and tolerability of a new drug called LAD191 in 69 healthy adults and people with an autoimmune disease. Researchers gave single or multiple doses to see how the body processes the drug and if it causes side effects. The goal was to gather…
