Toronto, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT07301892Recruiting
AI help for rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis
This trial tests whether artificial intelligence (AI) can improve how doctors spot complications in people newly diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis (RA), a condition that causes joint pain and swelling. The goal is to see if AI can make diagnosis faster and more accurate in real-world hospital settings.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges Any age - NCT06289114Recruiting
Can physical activity predict treatment success in rheumatoid arthritis?
This study tests if measuring your physical activity over a short time can help predict how well a new biologic medication will work for your rheumatoid arthritis. The goal is to find a simple way to see if the treatment is helping.
EsbjergAges 18 years+ - NCT07293871Recruiting
Ultrasound treatment for rheumatoid arthritis
This trial tests whether ultrasound waves applied to the spleen can reduce inflammation in adults with rheumatoid arthritis. It is for people with moderate to severe disease who have not tried many biologic medications.
Colleyville, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07295509RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing picankibart for active psoriatic arthritis
This trial tests a new drug called picankibart to see if it helps people with active psoriatic arthritis who haven't gotten enough relief from standard treatments like NSAIDs or non-biologic DMARDs. It may be an option if you have at least 3 tender and 3 swollen joints and active or past plaque psoriasis.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for arthritis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 540 recruiting arthritis studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a arthritis trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a arthritis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
