What this trial studies

This observational study aims to create a longitudinal prospective registry of systemic autoimmune and autoinflammatory diseases in Armenia, focusing on conditions such as Behcet Disease and ANCA-positive vasculitis. The registry will involve the usual medical management of patients along with the collection of additional blood and stool samples for biobanking. By documenting the epidemiological elements and treatment variations across different centers, the study seeks to enhance understanding and management of these complex diseases. The initiative is expected to contribute valuable data on disease progression and treatment outcomes.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this registry could improve the understanding and management of systemic autoimmune diseases, leading to better patient outcomes.

How similar studies have gone: While similar registries have been established in other regions, this specific approach in Armenia is novel and aims to fill a significant knowledge gap.
