Immun4Cure Cohort of Autoimmune Diseases

Official title: Prospective Cohort Study of Clinical and Biological Data in Patients With Autoimmune Diseases (Immun4Cure Cohort)

Run by University Hospital, Montpellier · NCT07515638 · Data updated 2026-11-12

A long-term, 500-person database and biobank is being built to study autoimmune diseases like RA, SLE, and scleroderma, plus healthy adults, using deep profiling and regular follow-ups over five years.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Adults (≥18) with rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, or systemic sclerosis treated at participating Montpellier departments, plus healthy adults without autoimmune disease.

Probably not a fit

Results may not directly improve care for all participants and some may not experience personal health benefits.

What this trial studies

This is a monocentric, prospective cohort at Montpellier University Hospital aiming to enroll 500 participants (450 with autoimmune diseases and 50 healthy controls) to create a rich biobank and data resource. The study collects longitudinal clinical data, multi-omic data (genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, immunophenotyping), environmental exposure information, and various biospecimens. Healthy controls will provide baseline references through baseline and 12-month assessments. The project supports translational research and ancillary projects through standardized follow-up and sample collection over five years. Interventions are observational in nature, including blood collection, questionnaires, and examinations.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, it could advance understanding of immune mechanisms in autoimmune diseases and spur new biomarker discoveries and translational research.

How similar studies have gone: Prior autoimmune cohorts have yielded valuable insights from multi-omic profiling, supporting the potential for meaningful findings in this project.
