- NCT03953768Recruiting
Testing a new vagus nerve stimulator for gut and immune health
This study looks at what happens to your immune system and stomach/gut function after getting a vagus nerve stimulator (VNS) for the first time for epilepsy. It may help doctors understand whether the device benefits more than seizures.
Houston, TexasAges birth–60 years - NCT06626919RecruitingPhase 1
A cell therapy trial for generalized myasthenia gravis
This trial tests a new cell therapy called anitocabtagene autoleucel (anito-cel) for people with generalized myasthenia gravis (gMG) that is not well controlled with current treatments. The goal is to see if it can reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06817889RecruitingPhase 2
Remdesivir for RSV in people with weak immune systems
This trial tests if remdesivir can safely treat RSV (a respiratory virus) in people with weakened immune systems, such as those who have had a stem cell or bone marrow transplant, CAR T-cell therapy, or are being treated for blood cancer. If you have a confirmed RSV infection in your nose or throat and are at moderate or high risk for complications, you may be able to join.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06730126RecruitingPhase 2
Soquelitinib for ALPS-FAS-related swelling and low blood counts
This trial tests an investigational drug called soquelitinib to see if it can shrink enlarged lymph nodes and improve low blood cell counts in people with ALPS-FAS. It may offer a new treatment option for those who have active symptoms.
Houston, TexasAges 16–120 - NCT06570798RecruitingPhase 2
Testing Two Drugs for Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis

NKX019 for lupus kidney disease or membranous nephropathy
This trial tests an experimental cell therapy called NKX019 for people with active lupus nephritis (a type of kidney inflammation from lupus) or primary membranous nephropathy (another kidney condition) that hasn't gotten better after standard treatments. It may help if you have tried at least two treatments for lupus kidney disease or one for membranous nephropathy and still have active kidney disease.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT06806592RecruitingPhase 3
Testing nerandomilast for lung scarring from rheumatic disease
This study tests a new medicine called nerandomilast to see if it can help people with lung scarring caused by autoimmune rheumatic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or scleroderma. The goal is to slow down lung damage and improve breathing.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT05787574RecruitingPhase 2
Reducing inflammation before stem cell transplant in immune disorders
This Phase 2 study tests medicines that calm inflammation before the first stem cell transplant. It aims to make transplant safer and more effective for people with certain inherited immune regulation or inflammatory conditions.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT07103746RecruitingPhase 2
Ublituximab for antibody-positive IMNM
This study tests an investigational medication called ublituximab (an infusion) for people with a rare autoimmune muscle disease called IMNM. It aims to reduce muscle weakness and damage by targeting specific immune cells (B cells). To join, you need a recent diagnosis (within 1 year), specific antibodies, and be on limited other medications.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT04751396Recruiting
Melanoma education for people with autoimmune conditions
This trial tests an educational tool to help people with melanoma and pre-existing autoimmune disease understand immune checkpoint inhibitor treatment. It aims to support you and your care team with information that can help you make decisions and feel more prepared.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT03816345RecruitingPhase 1
Nivolumab for advanced cancer with autoimmune conditions
This Phase 1 study tests nivolumab, an immunotherapy “anti-cancer accelerator,” in people with advanced cancer who also have an autoimmune disorder. It aims to see if nivolumab can be given safely and whether it may help shrink or control cancer.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT01351545Recruiting
Cryopreserved cord blood access program for transplant patients
This trial studies an organized way to obtain and distribute unlicensed (not FDA-approved for general use) stored cord blood units that have been frozen and kept. It may help people who need a cord blood transplant but don’t fit the “licensed cord blood only” options.
Houston, TexasAges Any age - NCT06587828Recruiting
Looking at immune cells in people with autoimmune disease
This study collects blood, tissue, and other samples from people with autoimmune diseases like Crohn's disease, multiple sclerosis, or lupus. Researchers will study your immune cells (T cells) to learn what they are attacking, which could lead to better treatments in the future.

What taking part in a autoimmune diseases study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
