Immunoglobulin G4-related sclerosing disease

This study looked at whether the HPV vaccine works in girls aged 9 to 17 who are taking medicines that weaken their immune system, such as after an organ transplant or for diseases like lupus. The goal was to see if their bodies produce enough antibodies to protect against HPV. T…

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-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 phase 2 trial tested the drug zanubrutinib in 10 people with IgG4-related disease, a condition that causes swelling in glands and other organs. The goal was to see if the drug could reduce gland size and inflammation over 24 weeks. Researchers measured changes using PET-MRI …

This study tested a new drug called rilzabrutinib combined with steroids in 27 adults with active IgG4-related disease, a rare condition causing inflammation and organ damage. The goal was to see if the combination could prevent disease flares better than steroids alone. Particip…

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 completed study reviewed the medical records of 210 people with aortitis (inflammation of the aorta) or retroperitoneal fibrosis (scar tissue in the abdomen). The goal was to find patterns in symptoms, lab tests, and imaging that could help doctors tell different types of th…

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 study looked at a rare disease called IgG4-related disease, which causes swelling and scarring in organs. Researchers compared immune cells in the blood of 75 people: those with the disease, those with Sjogren syndrome, and healthy volunteers. The goal was to better understa…

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 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…

This study collected blood, saliva, stool, urine, and skin samples from 19 people with unknown or poorly understood immune system problems. The goal was to learn how different parts of the immune system work together. No treatments or drugs were tested. Participants were followed…

This study tested the EchoTip AcuCore, a needle used during endoscopic ultrasound to collect tissue samples from the pancreas, liver, and other organs. 183 adults with conditions like cancer or chronic pancreatitis took part. The main goal was to see if the needle could get a goo…
