Suppose we have a drug that could cure Lupus…
Today it would take 2 years just to find patients to test it.
Imagine we could find those patients in 2 days.
40% of clinical trials fail because researchers cannot find enough patients to participate. Without patients willing to participate in clinical research, we cannot find new drugs, new diagnostic tests, or new treatments. Your participation counts!
The Autoimmune Registry helps recruit patients like you for clinical research and clinical trials. When a trial begins, we contact you to see if you can participate. You won’t be able to participate in every study, but every study you participate in gets us a step closer to the tests, treatments and cures for autoimmune disease.
To see a list of clinical trials we are recruiting for, visit here. If you have any questions about participation in clinical trials, please contact us.

Your story is more important than mine, so please send it in!
I am Executive Director of ARI, but I participate in a clinical research study on Parkinson's disease, which a member of my wife's family suffers from. I am lucky to participate in medical research as a healthy subject. The 7 year Parkinson's Progressive Marker Initiative involves providing samples of blood and spinal fluid so that researchers can see how Parkinson's patients differ from healthy subjects. The PPMI study is funded by the Michael J. Fox Foundation.
