This early-stage trial tests an experimental cell therapy called NEUK203-215 in adults aged 18-65 with severe autoimmune diseases like lupus or scleroderma that have not responded to other treatments. The therapy uses immune cells from a healthy donor, engineered to target and at…

This study tests whether the drug ianalumab can help people with diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis, a condition that causes skin thickening and can damage internal organs like the lungs. About 200 adults will receive either ianalumab or a placebo as a shot under the skin. Rese…

This study tests a new treatment called rapcabtagene autoleucel, made from a patient's own immune cells, for people with severe scleroderma that hasn't improved with standard care. About 96 participants will receive either this one-time cell therapy or the current drug rituximab.…

This early-stage trial tests an experimental treatment called QEL-005 for people with two serious autoimmune conditions: diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis and difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis. QEL-005 is made from a patient's own white blood cells, which are genetically…

This early-phase study tests whether combining mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with specially engineered immune cells (CAR-T cells) is safe and can help control autoimmune diseases. About 30 adults with established autoimmune conditions will receive the treatment and be monitored f…

This study tests whether specially engineered immune cells, called CAR-T cells, can safely treat autoimmune diseases. The cells are designed to target and suppress B cells, which play a key role in many autoimmune conditions. The trial involves 30 adults and focuses on safety and…

This study is testing a new blood filter called the Plasma Filter PX2. It is used in a procedure called therapeutic plasma exchange, which removes harmful substances from the blood of people with autoimmune diseases. About 46 adults will take part, and the study will check if the…

This early-phase trial is testing a new treatment called zamto-cel, a CAR-T cell therapy, for people with severe lupus or scleroderma that hasn't improved with standard treatments. The study will enroll 48 participants and primarily look at safety and side effects. Participants f…

This early-stage study tests a new drug called SAR448501 (DR-0201) in 62 adults with lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. The drug is a bispecific antibody designed to target the immune system. The main goal is to check safety and find the right dose, not yet to prove it works. Partici…

This study tests whether adding two immune-targeting drugs (belimumab and rituximab) to standard mycophenolate can improve skin fibrosis in people with early diffuse systemic sclerosis. Thirty adults with recent-onset disease will receive either the combo or placebo injections fo…

This early-stage study tests a new mRNA-based treatment (ABO2203) for people with autoimmune diseases that haven't improved with standard care. The therapy works by directing the body's immune cells to attack and control overactive immune cells causing the disease. The study will…

This early-phase trial is testing a personalized immune cell therapy called CD19 CAR-T in 15 people with severe autoimmune diseases like lupus and scleroderma that haven't responded to standard treatments. The therapy aims to temporarily deplete certain immune cells to calm the o…

This early-phase trial is testing an injection called GT719 in 10 adults with moderate to severe autoimmune diseases that haven't responded to other treatments. The main goal is to check safety and find the right dose. Researchers will also look for signs that the therapy might h…

This study is testing whether the shingles vaccine (RZV) works and is safe for adults with autoimmune rheumatic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus who are taking immune-suppressing drugs. Two hundred participants will receive two doses of the vaccine. Researchers will me…

This study is testing a structured exercise program called BETY, which focuses on the whole person (body, mind, and social factors), in 48 children and adults with scleroderma. Participants will either do the BETY program for 3 months or follow a home exercise routine. The goal i…

This study will analyze DNA from up to 20,000 people, including those with immune disorders and their relatives, to find genetic variants linked to conditions like atopy, autoimmunity, and primary immunodeficiency. Researchers will also study how best to return genetic results to…

This registry follows pregnant women who have taken mycophenolate, a drug used to prevent organ rejection and treat autoimmune diseases. Researchers will collect data on pregnancy complications and birth defects up to one year after birth. The goal is to better understand the dru…

This study is testing a new, non-invasive imaging technique called spatial frequency domain imaging (SFDI) to measure skin thickness in people with scleroderma. Currently, doctors use a subjective pinch test, but SFDI uses light scattering to measure collagen in the skin more acc…

This study is looking for the genes that cause certain immune system problems. Researchers want to understand why some people get sick and others don't, even in the same family. Up to 5,000 people with immune disorders and their relatives will give blood or cheek cell samples for…

This study is measuring a protein called STIM1 on the surface of immune cells in 670 people with various autoimmune diseases. The goal is to find which diseases have high levels of this protein, which could help researchers develop new antibody-based treatments. Participants prov…

This study collects and freezes testicular tissue from boys and young men who are at risk of becoming infertile due to cancer, autoimmune disorders, or their treatments. The tissue is stored in a research bank, with the hope that future medical advances will allow it to be used t…

This study looks at 320 adults who are about to start strong immune-suppressing therapy and have already had at least two COVID-19 shots. Researchers want to find out if giving a COVID-19 booster right before starting therapy or waiting six months provides better protection. Part…

This study is creating a large registry of 800 people receiving biologic medications for immune conditions like autoimmune diseases and primary immune deficiencies. Researchers will collect blood samples and health data to better understand how these treatments work and who respo…
