Immunoglobulin G4-related sclerosing disease
MONDO:0017287A recently described mass-forming lesion that occurs in the pancreas, submandibular glands, lacrimal glands, lymph nodes, and hepatobiliary tract. It is characterized by the presence of marked tissue sclerosis and infiltration by numerous plasma cells. The plasma cells show immunohistochemical staining for IgG4 and the serum IgG4 levels are often increased.
Also known as: IgG4-RD, IgG4-related disease, IgG4-related sclerosing disease, IgG4-related systemic disease, immunoglobulin G4-related sclerosing disease, IgG4-associated disease, IgG4-positive multiorgan lymphoproliferative syndrome, IgG4-related autoimmune disease

Fetal stem cells aim to tame immune chaos
Disease control ENROLLING_BY_INVITATIONThis early-stage trial tests clonal fetal mesenchymal stem cells (cfMSCs) in 100 people with severe immune-related disorders or tissue damage. The goal is to see if the cells are safe and can reduce symptoms. Participants have no other treatment options left.

Experimental CAR-T therapy targets tough autoimmune conditions
Disease control ENROLLING_BY_INVITATIONThis early-phase study tests a new type of CAR-T cell therapy in 9 people with autoimmune diseases that have not responded well to standard treatments. The therapy uses specially engineered immune cells to target and attack faulty immune cells. The main goal is to check safety an…

New drug aims to stop Flare-Ups in rare autoimmune disease
Disease control OngoingThis study tests a drug called obexelimab to see if it can prevent flare-ups in people with IgG4-related disease, a rare condition where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues. About 194 adults with active disease will receive either the drug or a placebo. The main goal…

New drug aims to stop Flare-Ups in rare autoimmune disease
Disease control OngoingThis study tests a drug called inebilizumab to see if it can prevent flare-ups in people with IgG4-related disease, a rare condition that causes swelling and damage in organs. About 135 adults who have had recent flare-ups are taking part. The main goal is to see how long it take…

New tool could predict who will suffer from steroid side effects
Knowledge-focused OngoingThis study aims to create a tool that predicts which patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases (like rheumatoid arthritis, vasculitis, or polymyalgia rheumatica) will develop serious side effects from long-term steroid use. Researchers will collect routine medical data—such a…

New registry aims to unlock safer pregnancies for women with autoimmune conditions
Knowledge-focused ENROLLING_BY_INVITATIONThis registry enrolls up to 1,000 women aged 12–55 with rheumatic or autoimmune diseases who are pregnant or planning pregnancy. Researchers will collect data from medical records and patient surveys to study pregnancy outcomes, disease activity, and medication use. No experiment…

Immune cell showdown: autoimmune vs. infection vs. healthy
Knowledge-focused ENROLLING_BY_INVITATIONThis study looks at immune cells from people with autoimmune diseases (like lupus), people with infections, and healthy volunteers. Researchers want to understand how these cells differ and what makes them attack the body in autoimmune conditions. The study involves blood and bon…
