Recruiting studies
- NCT05941559Enrolling by invitation
EMDR therapy for long-term rheumatoid arthritis pain
This trial tests whether eye-movement therapy (EMDR) can reduce long-lasting pain in people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). You may be eligible if your RA has been relatively stable, your pain is still high, and you can take part in therapy sessions safely.
Enschede, OverijsselAges 18 years+ - NCT05587244Enrolling by invitation
Hip liner study for people getting a hip replacement
This study looks at a specific type of hip replacement liner (the part inside the hip joint) and how well it works after surgery. You might be eligible if you’re planning a one-sided hip replacement and don’t have certain infection, bone, or health problems that could affect healing.
Birmingham, AlabamaAges 18–80 - NCT05548972Enrolling by invitation
Follow-up study of a hip replacement to improve implant wear
This study checks how well a specific hip replacement bearing surface (called dual mobility with Vivacit-E or Longevity) performs over time in real-world patients. It may help people by tracking long-term safety and performance to guide better hip replacement choices.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18–80 - NCT04899895Enrolling by invitation
Rheumatology sample study for people starting new treatment
This study collects blood or other samples from people with rheumatology (joint/autoimmune) conditions. It looks at changes around the time you start a specific new medicine, which may help researchers understand how treatments work.
Waltham, MassachusettsAges 18 years+ - NCT01776398Recruiting
Donating breath, blood, and urine samples for lung research
This study collects airway samples (usually during a bronchoscopy), plus blood and/or urine, to help researchers study lung conditions. It may help advance understanding of lung disease and related biology, but it is not a treatment trial.
New York, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT02377245Enrolling by invitation
Study of inflammatory rheumatism in youth
This study follows children and teens who have an inflammatory rheumatism condition that started in childhood. It aims to better understand these illnesses and how they affect young people over time.
BrusselsAges Any age - NCT03728478RecruitingPhase 3
Step-up and step-down treatment for newly diagnosed arthritis
This Phase 3 study tests whether children with early juvenile idiopathic arthritis do better by starting with one treatment approach and adjusting (stepping up or stepping down) based on how their arthritis responds. It may help find the safest, most effective long-term plan for controlling symptoms with fewer side effects.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for rheumatoid arthritis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 271 recruiting rheumatoid 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 rheumatoid 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 rheumatoid 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.
