Study of vocal cord lesions in autoimmune disease patients
This study examines vocal cord lesions, like 'bamboo' nodes, that cause voice changes (dysphonia) in people with autoimmune diseases such as lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. It aims to better understand and characterize these lesions to improve diagnosis and treatment.
BrestAges 18 years+ - NCT07368621Recruiting
Gum graft with or without platelet-rich fibrin for dental implant thickness
This trial tests if adding a special blood concentrate (platelet-rich fibrin) to a standard gum graft helps thicken the gum tissue around a dental implant. It is for people with thin gums who are missing a single tooth.
Cairo, Cairo GovernorateAges 18–60 - NCT07323732RecruitingPhase 2
BIO 300 and radiation for lung cancer with lung scarring
This trial tests if adding BIO 300 to chest radiation is safe and helps people who have both non-small cell lung cancer (early stage) and interstitial lung disease (scarring of the lungs). It aims to find better treatment options for this specific group.
Basking Ridge, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT07319598RecruitingPhase 4
Tetrandrine tablets for connective tissue disease-related lung disease
This study tests if tetrandrine tablets can help people with lung disease caused by connective tissue disorders. It is for adults 18-80 who have stable treatment and meet specific health criteria.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07283081Recruiting
Nailfold capillaroscopy for new interstitial pneumonia diagnosis
This trial tests if a special microscope exam of your nailfold blood vessels (capillaroscopy) can help doctors better understand new cases of interstitial pneumonia. It may help identify underlying conditions without starting certain treatments first.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - NCT07217522Recruiting
Genetics of pulmonary hypertension study
This study looks at the genes that may be linked to pulmonary hypertension. By providing a saliva sample and filling out a health survey from home, you can help researchers learn more about this condition.
Piscataway, New JerseyAges 18 years+ - NCT06696027Recruiting

Looking at lung scans in rheumatoid arthritis and related diseases
This trial studies lung scans (HRCT) from patients with rheumatoid arthritis, interstitial lung disease, or connective tissue disease to better understand lung involvement. If you have one of these conditions and have had a lung CT, you may be able to help.
PragueAges 18 years+ - NCT05998759RecruitingPhase 2
Telitacicept for low platelets from connective tissue disease
This trial tests a new medicine called telitacicept for people with connective tissue disease (like lupus or Sjögren's) whose platelet counts stay dangerously low despite standard treatments. It aims to raise platelet levels and reduce bleeding risk.

Testing oleogel-S10 for epidermolysis bullosa in Japanese patients
This trial tests a gel called oleogel-S10 on wounds caused by a rare skin condition called epidermolysis bullosa (EB). It is only for people of Japanese descent who have a specific type of EB called junctional or dystrophic EB. The gel is put on the wound to help it heal.
FukuokaAges 3 weeks+ - NCT06716606RecruitingPhase 3
Long-term safety of belimumab for lung disease in scleroderma and other connective tissue diseases
This study tests the long-term safety and effectiveness of belimumab for people with lung scarring caused by scleroderma or other connective tissue diseases. It is for patients who already completed a one-year study with belimumab and were not considered treatment failures.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for connective tissue diseases?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 85 recruiting connective tissue diseases 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 connective tissue diseases 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 connective tissue diseases 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.
