Autoinflammatory syndrome

This study tests a drug called pacritinib for people with VEXAS syndrome, a rare genetic disease that causes severe inflammation. About 78 adults will receive either the drug or a placebo to see if it controls symptoms and reduces flare-ups. The goal is to find a safe and effecti…

This early-stage trial tests an experimental drug called BI 3000202 in 16 adults with rare type 1 interferonopathies, such as Aicardi-Goutières syndrome. Participants take a low dose for 4 weeks, then a higher dose for 36 weeks. The main goal is to see if the drug is safe and how…

This phase 2 trial is testing whether combining an experimental drug called S-531011 with a precise radiation technique known as RadScopal can help control metastatic colorectal cancer that has not responded to prior treatments. The study enrolls about 30 adults with advanced dis…

This study tests doing two heart procedures at the same time for people with atrial fibrillation. First, doctors use pulsed field energy to fix the heart's rhythm. Then, they implant a small device to close off a part of the heart where clots can form. The goal is to see if this …

This trial is investigating whether an experimental drug called XTMAB-16 can safely control pulmonary sarcoidosis over the long term. The study includes people who have already completed a previous XTMAB-16 trial and are on a stable steroid dose. Researchers are monitoring side e…

This study tests whether sirolimus, a drug that calms the immune system, can help people with Adult-Onset Still's disease whose symptoms don't improve with standard steroids. Three adults with this rare inflammatory condition will take sirolimus pills for 12 weeks while doctors m…

This study tests whether baricitinib, a daily pill, is safe and works for children aged 1 to under 18 with systemic juvenile idiopathic arthritis (sJIA), a chronic inflammatory disease. About 58 children will receive either baricitinib or a standard injected drug (tocilizumab) to…

This phase 2 study tests a drug called MAS825 in 17 people with rare genetic conditions that cause severe inflammation. The goal is to see if the drug can prevent disease flares better than a placebo. Participants will be monitored for safety and effectiveness over several period…

This study tests the drug anakinra in Chinese patients with two related inflammatory conditions: Systemic Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (SJIA) in children and Adult-Onset Still's Disease (AOSD) in adults. Participants receive a daily injection under the skin for 48 weeks. The goa…

This study tests whether anakinra (Kineret), a daily injection, can reduce monthly attacks in Chinese patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) who do not respond to standard colchicine treatment. Three patients aged 2 years and older will receive anakinra for 6 months, wi…

This phase 3 trial looks at whether people with severe sarcoidosis who are in remission should stop or continue taking infliximab. 32 adults who have been on infliximab for at least 6 months and are stable on low-dose steroids will be randomly assigned to stop or continue the dru…

This study tests an experimental drug, BMS-986278, in about 1057 adults with progressive pulmonary fibrosis, a condition where lung scarring worsens over time. Participants receive either the drug or a placebo to see if it can slow lung function decline and is safe. The trial is …

This trial tests whether a procedure called catheter ablation works better than anti-arrhythmic drugs for people with structural heart disease who have had a dangerous fast heart rhythm (ventricular tachycardia). About 162 participants will be randomly assigned to either ablation…

This study looks at whether a combination of two antibiotics (azithromycin and doxycycline) can reduce bacteria linked to sarcoidosis and lower inflammation. About 40 adults with biopsy-confirmed sarcoidosis and active inflammation on a PET scan will receive the antibiotics or a …

This study is looking at how well the drug tofacitinib works for people with Blau syndrome, a rare genetic condition that causes inflammation in the joints, eyes, and skin. Researchers will review medical records from 24 participants to see if tofacitinib helps control the diseas…

This study will compare two ways to diagnose sarcoidosis, a disease that causes inflammation and lumps (granulomas) in the lungs. About 469 people with suspected stage I or II sarcoidosis will be randomly assigned to receive either a newer method called EBUS-guided cryobiopsy or …

This study tests whether using a portable oxygen concentrator (a lightweight, battery-powered device) during walking or exercise helps people with interstitial lung disease (ILD) or COPD feel less breathless and be more active in their daily lives. Twenty-four participants will t…

This pilot study tests whether home-based or video-supervised exercise programs are acceptable and helpful for people with chronic lung diseases like IPF, sarcoidosis, bronchiectasis, asthma, and other interstitial lung diseases. Fifty participants will be randomly assigned to on…

Researchers are building a registry to follow adults with recurrent pericarditis, a condition where inflammation around the heart keeps coming back. The registry collects information over time on how often flare-ups happen, what treatments patients receive, and whether they are h…

This study looks at how well people with sarcoidosis take their prescribed medicines and whether that affects their disease. Researchers will follow 150 adults in Maryland and D.C. for one year, tracking lung function, symptoms, and hospital visits. The goal is to find ways to he…

This study at Duke University tests whether a special MRI scan using inhaled xenon gas can detect changes in lung function over time in people with progressive pulmonary fibrosis. Sixty adults with various types of lung scarring will have MRI scans before starting anti-fibrotic m…

This study follows 500 children and adults with recurrent pericarditis (repeated inflammation of the heart lining) to better understand the disease. Researchers will track which treatments patients use, how the disease affects quality of life, and the economic costs. The goal is …

This study aims to understand the genetic and molecular changes in people with bone marrow failure disorders. Researchers will analyze blood and bone marrow samples from up to 1,400 participants to track how these changes evolve over time. The goal is to better predict disease ou…

This study will enroll 40 children aged 8-18 with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) to see if infections trigger disease flares. Participants will use a mobile app to log symptoms like fever, cough, or sore throat in real time. The goal is to better understand the infection-flar…
