Scientists hunt for clues to rare immune disease
NCT ID NCT00315380
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study follows 700 people with eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA), a rare immune disorder causing asthma, high eosinophil levels, and blood vessel inflammation. Researchers aim to discover biological markers that can measure disease activity and predict treatment response. No new treatments are tested; the goal is to better understand and monitor the disease.
