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 how well flu vaccines (seasonal and H1N1) work in 234 adults with autoimmune diseases like lupus or vasculitis, some of whom were on steroids or immunosuppressants. Researchers measured antibody levels three weeks after each shot to see if the vaccine provide…

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 how stretchy the skin and blood vessels are in people with Williams syndrome, a genetic condition that can cause heart problems. Researchers measured skin and pulse speed in 43 participants aged 5 to 70. The goal was to learn how these tissues change over tim…

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 looked at how the COVID-19 pandemic and social distancing impacted the mental health of 259 adults with chronic inflammatory rheumatism (like rheumatoid arthritis or ankylosing spondylitis). Researchers used questionnaires to measure stress, depression, anxie…

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 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 over 2,400 people with rheumatic diseases who take methotrexate. Researchers compared those who had standard lab monitoring to those who had fewer blood tests. The goal was to see if reduced monitoring is as safe in terms of preventing organ damage or death.

This completed study looked at anxiety about COVID-19 in 200 adults with rheumatic diseases who were already taking either biologic or conventional disease-modifying drugs. Researchers called participants and asked them to fill out a questionnaire about their coronavirus-related …

This study looked at whether video or phone visits (tele-rheumatology) work as well as in-person visits for people with rheumatic diseases like arthritis. Over 650 adults took part, and researchers measured how satisfied they were with each type of visit and which they preferred.…

This study measured two newer blood markers (calprotectin and serum amyloid protein) alongside standard tests in 20 children with juvenile arthritis and related conditions. The goal was to see if these markers could better track disease flare-ups in everyday clinic visits. The st…

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 a simple approach where doctors review pharmacy refill data during clinic visits and talk with patients about their medications. The goal was to see if this method is practical and acceptable for improving medication adherence in people with chronic rheumatic di…

This completed study looked at 32 people with known genetic changes in connective tissue genes to better understand how these changes affect overall health. Participants underwent a range of medical tests and exams over 3-5 days. The goal was to gather information, not to test a …
