Hoorn, North HollandAges 35–90 - NCT04955899Recruiting
Testing a device that stimulates the spleen in rheumatoid arthritis
This trial studies whether splenic stimulation (using a medical device to stimulate the spleen) is safe for people with active rheumatoid arthritis. It may help some patients who have not improved enough after at least two other advanced arthritis medicines.
AmsterdamAges 22–75 - NCT07858591Recruiting
Eye scans for people with psoriatic arthritis
This study uses eye scans to look at tiny blood vessels in the back of the eye and a small area called the fovea, to see if they are different in people with psoriatic arthritis compared to people without it. This might help doctors understand more about psoriatic arthritis and its effects on the body.
Bursa, YıldırımAges 18–75 - NCT06249906Recruiting
Bioceramic material for bone defect repair
This trial tests a new bioceramic material to repair bone defects. It is for adults aged 18 to 65 who are generally healthy and can follow the study plan.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–65 - NCT06397677Recruiting
Study of Progressive RA Interstitial Lung Disease
This study is looking at people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who also have interstitial lung disease (ILD), a condition that causes scarring in the lungs. It aims to understand how the disease changes over time by using imaging and blood tests, without providing any new treatments right now.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–90 - NCT06319911Recruiting
Testing a new shoulder replacement implant system
This study tests a new shoulder implant system for people who need their first shoulder replacement due to arthritis or a shoulder deformity. It helps researchers see how well the implant works and if it improves shoulder function and pain.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05003310Recruiting
Splenic stimulation study for active rheumatoid arthritis
This study tests a treatment that stimulates the spleen to help calm symptoms of active rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It’s mainly for people whose RA has not improved enough after several newer arthritis medicines.
Anniston, AlabamaAges 22–75 - NCT07800871RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
FT839 cell therapy for autoimmune diseases
This trial tests a new cell therapy (FT839) designed to target and reset the immune system's B cells to help treat moderate to severe autoimmune diseases that haven't improved with standard treatments. It's an early-phase study, so the main goals are to see if it's safe and if it helps control the disease.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT07799831Recruiting
Oral health and saliva bacteria in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis
This study looks at how oral health and mouth bacteria relate to disease activity in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA). If your child has JIA, participating could help doctors understand more about the condition and may guide future treatments.
