Autoimmune disorders represent a collective group of disorders which primarily arise due to an overactive immune response of the body against substances and tissues normally present within the body. Most of them cause significant morbidity and disability and are very difficult to diagnose. The cause of autoimmune diseases remains unknown, although genetic factors play a major role in susceptibility. Some of the autoimmune diseases may be triggered by environmental exposure or by an infectious agent. They can attack any tissue or organ of the body and cause a wide range of symptoms and organ injuries, depending on the site of immune attack.

This report details "Endpoints - Clinical Trials in Autoimmune Disorders", highlighting the five major autoimmune disorders of multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and psoriasis. The classification of five major autoimmune diseases is based on the number of pipeline molecules present in the Phase III stage of development.

The term endpoint refers to an outcome or measure of a clinical trial. Endpoints can include all kinds of aspects, those related to the effectiveness of treatment and others. However, the endpoint selection must take into account the need to obtain the information of the highest therapeutic interest with the least risk and discomfort for the individual. Also, the endpoints must be aligned with the objectives of the study and represent the most effective way to assess pharmacological response.
