Trials overseas
This is where the research for Pemphigus Vulgaris is happening right now. Nothing is recruiting in Australia, so the overseas record is the useful one.
9 trials for this disease are open to new participants outside Australia, as ClinicalTrials.gov listed them on 11 October 2026. Voxsanity does not publish a page for any of them; the searches below reach them at the registry.
These overseas counts are likely too high. They come from the registry’s own search, which expands a condition name to related conditions, so some of the trials counted are for a different disease in the same family.

About Pemphigus Vulgaris
The text below is reproduced exactly as its source published it. It has not been edited, shortened or rewritten.
Pemphigus is an autoimmune disorder. If you have it, your immune system attacks healthy cells in your skin and mouth, causing blisters and sores. No one knows the cause. Pemphigus does not spread from person to person. It does not appear to be inherited. But some people's genes put them more at risk for pemphigus. Pemphigoid is also an autoimmune skin disease. It leads to deep blisters that do not break easily. Pemphigoid is most common in older adults and may be fatal for older, sick patients. Doctors diagnose pemphigus with a physical exam, a biopsy, and blood tests. The treatment of pemphigus and pemphigoid is the same: one or more medicines to control symptoms. These may include: - Steroids, which reduce inflammation - Drugs that suppress the immune system response - Antibiotics to treat associated infections NIH: National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases

Voxsanity reformats data from public registries into this layout. It does not edit, interpret or add to what the registry published.
Not medical advice.
Individual trial records are refreshed on a rolling basis rather than all at once, so a record may be up to several weeks old. Each trial page and trial card shows the date its own record was last synced. Where a record has lagged, its status, sites and enrolment can differ from the current registry state in either direction, so check the registry link on the trial page before acting on them.
