Trial Now Recruiting: Collection of Biological Samples From Patients With Rare Neurological Diseases (NCT04698421)

WHY IT MATTERS

If you have a rare autoimmune neurological disease, participating in this sample collection could help researchers discover new biomarkers and treatments specifically for conditions like yours.

Researchers at a hospital in France are collecting biological samples (like blood) from 1,000 patients with rare nervous system diseases that may be caused by the immune system attacking the body. These samples will help scientists find new ways to diagnose and treat these diseases by identifying special markers in the blood that show disease activity.

NCT ID: NCT04698421 Status: RECRUITING Conditions: Nervous System Diseases Enrollment: 1000 Sponsor: University Hospital, Toulouse Summary: The aim of this project is to improve biological collections of patients presenting rare neurological disorders with known or suspected autoimmune origin. This collection will provide appropriate biological samples to identify new biomarkers and to be accessible to the medical, scientific and industrial communities for the identification of new therapeutic strategies.

YOU CAN ACT ON THIS

If you have a rare autoimmune neurological disorder, check the clinicaltrials.gov website (NCT04698421) to see if you meet eligibility criteria and contact the University Hospital Toulouse study team about enrollment.
