Capillaroscopy for managing undifferentiated connective tissue disease
This study looks at whether a simple test called capillaroscopy (which examines tiny blood vessels in your fingernails) can help doctors better manage undifferentiated connective tissue disease. If you join, the test results will be used to guide your care, and researchers will see how it affects treatment decisions.

Xenon MRI to detect and track pulmonary hypertension
This trial uses a special MRI scan (using xenon gas) to see how well the lungs are working in people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). It aims to improve diagnosis and monitoring of PAH from connective tissue disease or unknown cause.
Durham, North CarolinaAges 18–75 - NCT04896138Enrolling by invitation
Natural history study for lung scarring patients
This study follows people who are being seen for lung scarring (also called ILD) and compares them with family members without lung scarring. It helps researchers better understand how this condition changes over time and what to look for in the future.
Charlottesville, VirginiaAges 18 years+ - NCT04402086Recruiting
Rheumatology patient and skin sample registry study at Yale
This study builds a health record and blood/skin sample collection for people with rheumatic autoimmune diseases who are getting care at Yale. It may help researchers understand these conditions and develop better tests or treatments over time.
New Haven, ConnecticutAges 18–99 - NCT03683186Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Long-term study of ralinepag for pulmonary hypertension
This study follows people with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) to see how safe and effective ralinepag is over the long term. It may help your care team understand what to expect from continued treatment and monitoring.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT02234388Recruiting
Registry for people with undifferentiated connective tissue disease
This is a study that enrolls people who have early or unclear signs of an autoimmune connective tissue problem. It aims to better understand these conditions over time, which may help future diagnosis and treatment planning.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07490041RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-NK cell therapy for refractory childhood rheumatic diseases
This trial is testing a new type of cell therapy (CAR-NK cells) that targets two markers on immune cells (CD19 and BCMA) to treat severe forms of childhood rheumatic diseases. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and can help when other medicines have failed.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 5 years+ - NCT06674148RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Qifangfeixian granules for connective tissue disease lung scarring
This trial tests a Chinese herbal medicine called Qifangfeixian granules for people with lung scarring (interstitial lung disease) related to connective tissue diseases (like lupus or scleroderma). It compares the medicine to a placebo to see if it helps improve breathing and lung function.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–80 - NCT06189495RecruitingPhase 2
Study of Genakumab for lung scarring from connective tissue disease
This study tests a new injected medication (Genakumab) for people with connective tissue disease-related lung scarring. It aims to see if it helps stabilize or improve lung function safely.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–75 - NCT06646432Recruiting
Gum Recession Treatment: Tissue Graft vs. Blood Concentrate
This trial is testing two methods for fixing receding gums: using a small piece of tissue from the roof of your mouth (connective tissue graft) versus using a special concentrate of your own blood (injectable platelet-rich fibrin). Both are done through a tiny tunnel under the gum, and the goal is to cover the exposed root and make your gums look and feel healthier.
IsmailiaAges 21 years+ - NCT04993885RecruitingPhase 2
Avatrombopag for adults with immune low platelets
This trial studies avatrombopag to raise platelet counts in adults with immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) caused by autoimmune conditions. It may help reduce bleeding risk when platelet levels are very low.
Tianjin, Tianjin MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05819385Recruiting
Study of lung scarring in immune diseases
This is an observational (non-treatment) study that collects information about how interstitial lung disease (lung scarring) happens in people with certain autoimmune or immune-related conditions. It uses patient interviews or existing medical records to better understand the pattern and causes, which may help future care.
Mexico CityAges 18 years+ - NCT05471752Recruiting
Study of special cells taken during orthopedic surgery
This study collects small cell samples from certain body tissues during planned orthopedic surgeries. The researchers will study these cells to understand their potential use in future treatments and to see if using them is safe and helpful.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06732674Recruiting
Home-based care for lung disease in rheumatic conditions
This trial tests whether people with lung disease caused by a rheumatic condition can safely manage their care at home using a smartphone or tablet. It aims to see if home monitoring is as effective as in-person visits for keeping your lungs healthy.
OsloAges 18 years+ - NCT07150000Recruiting
Rheumatic disease research study for patients and healthy volunteers
This study is for people with certain rheumatic conditions (like arthritis, lupus, or vasculitis) and for healthy volunteers. It aims to learn more about these diseases and improve how they are treated.
Bonn, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT03269630Recruiting
Pulmonary hypertension biobank for heart-lung blood samples
This study collects and stores health information and possibly blood samples from people being evaluated for pulmonary hypertension or related autoimmune conditions. It helps researchers learn more about these illnesses and may support future studies.
New Orleans, LouisianaAges 18 years+ - NCT04918524Recruiting
Pregnancy outcomes in women with certain autoimmune conditions
This study looks at the typical pregnancy course and outcomes for women with APS or UCTD, two autoimmune-related conditions. It also checks how these conditions and treatments may affect pregnancy, so doctors can better plan care.

Study of immune cell activity in systemic sclerosis
This study looks at a specific type of immune cell activity (called neutrophil extracellular traps) in the blood of people with systemic sclerosis, other connective tissue diseases, and healthy volunteers. It aims to understand how these cells may be involved in the disease and could lead to better treatments.
ReimsAges 18 years+ - NCT05525039Recruiting

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.
