Autoimmune encephalitis: a multi-center study
Part of Brain & nervous system, Immune system & allergy clinical trials.
This study collects health information from people with autoimmune encephalitis, a condition where the body's immune system attacks the brain. It aims to understand the disease better, and if you have seizures from it, you can join a special epilepsy part.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You may be any age, male or female.
- You must have a new diagnosis of autoimmune encephalitis (brain inflammation caused by your immune system).
- The diagnosis must meet one of the standard criteria: definite limbic encephalitis, possible autoimmune encephalitis with positive antibodies, or possible/definite paraneoplastic neurological syndrome (excluding peripheral nervous system).
- If you also have seizures caused by the encephalitis, you can join a special epilepsy part of the study.
- You (or your guardian) must sign a consent form agreeing to join.

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 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 how autoimmune encephalitis affects brain metabolism using a special PET scan. It aims to better understand the condition in people who were recently diagnosed.
This study tests a natural bile-derived medicine (Calcus Bovis Sativus) to see if it can help adults with new or recent brain inflammation (encephalitis). It focuses on people whose encephalitis is caused by the immune system or a virus, and who have not fully recovered.
This study tests whether a nasal spray containing stem cell products can help people recover from autoimmune encephalitis, a condition where the body's immune system attacks the brain. It may reduce symptoms like confusion, memory problems, or seizures.
This study follows people newly diagnosed with anti-LGI1 encephalitis (a brain inflammation) to see how well they do over time. It aims to learn more about the condition and improve care.
