Study of immune markers in autoimmune disease and lupus
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Digestive system, Eyes & vision, Genetic & congenital, Immune system & allergy, Infections, Mouth & dental, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at blood and immune cell markers (autoantibodies and immune cell “signatures”) to better understand autoimmune conditions, including lupus. It may help researchers identify which markers are linked to disease and how immune cells respond after vaccination.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You (or your legal representative) can give informed consent for study procedures.
- You have an autoimmune disease, and you may have lupus (even if you do not meet all lupus criteria yet).
- You are not in a very unsafe situation for blood/bone marrow procedures (for example, poor vein access).
- If you are donating bone marrow, a doctor must be able to safely access the bone area needed for aspiration.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding if you plan to donate bone marrow.

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study looks at blood “biomarkers,” or measurable body signals, in people with autoimmune diseases, vasculitis, or autoinflammatory conditions. The goal is to better understand these illnesses and how they relate to disease activity.
This study looks at the “sugar coating” on anti-DNA antibodies in people with lupus. The goal is to better understand these antibody patterns, which may help improve how lupus is studied or treated in the future.
This study collects blood and tissue samples from patients with rare immune system diseases that started in childhood, and from their relatives and healthy volunteers. The goal is to build a biocollection for future research to better understand these diseases.
This study looks for genes that may be linked to autoimmune diseases by comparing the DNA of people with these conditions to healthy family members or volunteers. If you have an autoimmune disease or are a healthy person interested in helping research, this study may help scientists understand why these diseases run in families.
This study looks at how certain immune cells (natural killer T cells) behave in people with systemic lupus, by measuring specific immune receptor markers in blood. It may help researchers better understand lupus and how it can connect with other conditions like antiphospholipid syndrome or Sjögren’s.
