Descartes-08 for young people with autoimmune diseases
This trial tests a new therapy called Descartes-08 for children, teens, and young adults with autoimmune conditions like lupus, myasthenia gravis, or dermatomyositis. It aims to see if it can help control moderate disease that hasn't responded well enough to other treatments.
Cincinnati, OhioAges 12 years+ - NCT06371417RecruitingPhase 1
Testing RAY121 for several immune diseases (RAINBOW trial)
This trial tests a new medicine called RAY121 (an antibody) for people with certain autoimmune diseases. It aims to see if RAY121 is safe and how the body handles it. If you have one of these conditions and meet the basic health requirements, you might be able to join.
Columbus, OhioAges 18–85 - NCT05979441Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Long-term safety of efgartigimod injection for myositis

Columbus, OhioAges 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.

What taking part in a dermatomyositis 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.
