Long-term safety of efgartigimod injection for myositis
This study tests the long-term safety and effectiveness of a subcutaneous (under-the-skin) version of efgartigimod for adults with active idiopathic inflammatory myopathy. It is for people who have already completed an earlier study of this medicine.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT05007340Recruiting
ILD and autoimmune conditions registry and sample storage
This study collects health information and may store blood or other samples to learn more about interstitial lung disease (ILD) and autoimmune-related conditions. Joining could help researchers understand different causes of ILD and improve future care.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT05251415Recruiting
Study of rare autoimmune diseases with blood and medical samples
This trial collects clinical and lab information (like blood and medical history) from people with rare autoimmune diseases, especially when symptoms are unusual. It aims to better understand what causes these illnesses and how newer treatments may help.
ToulouseAges 6–99 - NCT05895786RecruitingPhase 3
Study drug for active dermatomyositis or polymyositis
This Phase 3 trial tests how an investigational medicine (PF-06823859) works in adults with active dermatomyositis or polymyositis. It aims to improve disease control by targeting the immune system, but you must meet several safety and diagnosis requirements.
Glendale, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06308978RecruitingPhase 1
Study of FT819 for B-cell autoimmune diseases
This trial tests a new cell therapy, FT819, for people with certain autoimmune diseases like lupus, vasculitis, myositis, or scleroderma that haven't improved with at least two previous treatments. The goal is to see if it can help control the disease.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 12–70 - NCT06593041Recruiting
Platelets in lupus and other autoimmune diseases
This study looks at how platelets (small blood cells that help with clotting) might play a role in autoimmune diseases like lupus. By understanding this, researchers hope to find new ways to treat these conditions.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for myositis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 25 recruiting myositis 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 myositis 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 myositis 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.
