Autoimmune Diseases of the Nervous System clinical trials
The registry lists 123 studies for Autoimmune Diseases of the Nervous System across more than 10 countries. 59 are recruiting or about to start. 61 of them are mainly about Autoimmune Diseases of the Nervous System (how this is decided). Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2026-10-27. Counting its 14 narrower conditions too, such as Multiple Sclerosis: 4,551 studies, 1,031 open.

Who develops what
Save this setEvery programme with a company-led study here in the last two years, whatever its size: 5 programmes from 5 companies, 2 with this as their studies’ main aim; 0 with a live phase 3 study; 0 primary completions in the next 12 months.
Comparator & background therapies
What other companies’ phase 2+ studies give as the comparator or the background here (its leading trial sponsor and partners left out): a sign of what new drugs are measured against, not by itself the standard of care, its prescriptions or its market.

Programmes
“Meets, by arms” reads each study’s arms: vs its arm against the therapy’s; + X vs a combination against it; added to it plus the therapy against the therapy; studied with given together only. The next primary completion is the next phase-3 study’s when there is one.
The 5 programmes — sign in to see the whole list, free: filter by phase and aim, sort by late development, direct comparisons or the next primary completion.
Primary completion in the next 12 months (0)
Live phase 2 and 3 studies of these programmes. Primary completion is when the main measure’s data collection ends, as the registry states it (most are estimates); results come later, if they are announced.
None in the next 12 months.
Read from ClinicalTrials.gov, industry-led studies. Main aim: this is the study’s judged main condition; named, not the main aim: the sponsor names it, the study is about something else; registry mapping only: only the registry’s mapping put it here. Leading trial sponsor is the company leading the most industry studies of a drug, a measure of trial activity, not of rights. US and EU rights, and Approved: from the regulators’ records (FDA’s Drugs@FDA via openFDA; EMA’s medicines data) — the holder of a marketed or authorised original, generics and other companies’ versions; not rights elsewhere, nor approval for this condition. Phase 4 trial recorded, where neither lists it: a phase 4 study exists somewhere. Not read yet: labels by indication, exclusivity, licences, line of therapy, academic comparators, sales.
What is being tested here
Drugs under test in Autoimmune Diseases of the Nervous System studies, those with the most open studies first. Medicines only given beside them are not counted. How drugs are counted
Coming up
Studies recruiting or running, from their records. “Main data collection” ends at the primary completion date, the sponsor’s own estimate, which often moves.

How long Autoimmune Diseases of the Nervous System studies take
Of 28 observational studies under Autoimmune Diseases of the Nervous System, half reached primary completion within 53 months of starting, counting those still running.
| Start to primary completion | Every sponsor | Industry | Non-industry |
|---|---|---|---|
| Observational | 53 mo17–… · 28 studies | — | — |
Each figure is the month by which half the studies had reached primary completion, with the range in which the middle half did. Studies still running count until their last registry update; studies that stopped early are left out. Phase 1 includes early phase 1; observational means prospective or not stated, as retrospective and cross-sectional studies date a window of data rather than a study. How these figures are worked out
