Recruiting studies in Kentucky
- 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.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 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.
Lexington, KentuckyAges 18 years+ - 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.
Louisville, KentuckyAges birth–60 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.
Louisville, KentuckyAges Any age - NCT07085104RecruitingPhase 1
Study of ALLO-329 for lupus, myositis, or scleroderma
This trial tests a new one-time cell therapy (ALLO-329) made from donor cells to target and calm overactive immune cells in people with lupus, myositis, or scleroderma that hasn't improved with usual medications. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and can help reduce disease activity.
Louisville, KentuckyAges 18–74 - NCT06308978RecruitingPhase 1
Study of FT819 for B-cell autoimmune diseases
This trial tests a new cell therapy, FT819, for people with certain autoimmune diseases like lupus, vasculitis, myositis, or scleroderma that haven't improved with at least two previous treatments. The goal is to see if it can help control the disease.

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.

Common questions
- Are there autoimmune diseases clinical trials in Kentucky?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 6 recruiting autoimmune diseases studies with a site in Kentucky, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a autoimmune diseases study in Kentucky?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Kentucky to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Kentucky, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a autoimmune diseases trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New autoimmune diseases studies open in Kentucky regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
