Biomarkers in nervous system autoimmune diseases
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Eyes & vision, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study looks for biomarkers (biological clues) in people with autoimmune diseases of the nervous system. It aims to discover better ways to diagnose and treat these conditions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have one of these autoimmune nervous system conditions: NMOSD, MG, CIDP, IIM, MS, AE, MOGAD, or a similar disorder.
- Or you are a healthy person of the same age and sex to serve as a comparison.
- You do not have a primary immunodeficiency.
- You do not have a severe infection in your brain, lungs, or elsewhere.
- Your nerve damage is not caused by another disease like lupus, vasculitis, or cancer.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

This observational study follows people with various immune-related neurological conditions, such as multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica, and autoimmune encephalitis. It aims to better understand these diseases and their progression over time.
This research study looks for new markers in the blood of people with autoimmune encephalitis (a condition where the immune system attacks the brain). It aims to better understand what causes the disease and find new ways to diagnose it.
This study looks at children who have had a first attack of nerve inflammation (like ADEM, vision loss, or spinal cord issues) to find markers in the blood that might show if it will come back. It tests blood and cells to better understand the immune response.
This study looks at how the immune system works in certain neurological conditions, including autoimmune encephalitis and related nerve disorders. Researchers may use blood and/or spinal fluid samples, especially when antibodies are present or can’t be found, to better understand what’s driving the illness.
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 blood “auto-antibodies,” which are immune proteins that may attack the body, in people with certain brain and nerve conditions. It may help researchers better understand these diseases and how the immune system is involved.
