Localized scleroderma

This early-stage trial tests a single infusion of allogeneic CAR-T cells, called RN1201, in 18 adults with autoimmune diseases that have not responded to standard treatments. The therapy aims to reset the immune system by targeting and eliminating faulty immune cells. Before the …

This study tests whether a medicine called Panzyga can prevent major infections in people with autoimmune or rheumatic conditions who have low antibody levels after receiving B-cell depletion therapy. About 360 adults will receive either Panzyga or a placebo, and researchers will…

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-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 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 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 is collecting skin and blood samples from 830 people with chronic inflammatory skin diseases like psoriasis, eczema, and lupus. Researchers want to find biological markers that can predict how well a person will respond to treatment after one year. The goal is to move …

This study is creating a registry of 500 children and adults with morphea (localized scleroderma) to track how the disease behaves over time, what complications arise (like arthritis), and whether it has an autoimmune cause. Participants provide medical history and skin assessmen…

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…

This observational study aims to uncover why systemic sclerosis (SSc) develops and worsens. Researchers will analyze blood, skin, and DNA from 150 patients in Sweden to find markers linked to disease activity and progression. The goal is to improve diagnosis and identify new trea…

This study looks at how biological, psychological, and social factors affect physical performance in people with scleroderma. Researchers will test 50 children and adults using simple tasks like walking, stair climbing, and standing up from a chair. The goal is to find better way…

This study looks at how scleroderma affects chewing and swallowing in both children and adults. Researchers will use questionnaires and physical tests to measure these functions and understand the overall well-being of participants. The goal is to find better tools for assessing …
