Recruiting studies in California
- NCT07800871RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
FT839 cell therapy for autoimmune diseases
This trial tests a new cell therapy (FT839) designed to target and reset the immune system's B cells to help treat moderate to severe autoimmune diseases that haven't improved with standard treatments. It's an early-phase study, so the main goals are to see if it's safe and if it helps control the disease.
Fullerton, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT07497087RecruitingPhase 3
Study of nerandomilast for people with systemic sclerosis
This trial tests if nerandomilast can help people with systemic sclerosis, a disease that can affect the skin and lungs. It may be an option for those with active disease and reduced lung function.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06375993Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
Prula-cel for autoimmune diseases: a phase 1 study
This trial tests a new treatment called prulacabtagene leucel (prula-cel), which is a type of immune cell therapy (CAR T-cells) for people with certain autoimmune diseases. It aims to see if it can reset the immune system and reduce disease activity in conditions like lupus, scleroderma, vasculitis, or myositis.
Redwood City, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - 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 - NCT06925542RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CTX112 for adults with autoimmune disease
This trial tests an experimental cell therapy called CTX112 for people with lupus, scleroderma, or inflammatory myositis that hasn't responded well to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it's safe and if it can help control the disease.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT05892614RecruitingPhase 2
Efzofitimod for early systemic sclerosis lung scarring
This trial tests efzofitimod to see if it can improve or slow lung disease caused by systemic sclerosis (scleroderma), and to check safety and side effects. It focuses on people with relatively early disease and measurable lung involvement on lung scans.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05878717RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Belimumab for adults with scleroderma lung scarring
This Phase 2/3 study tests whether belimumab can improve outcomes and safety in adults with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) that has caused lung scarring. It may help by reducing active or worsening immune-driven disease in the lungs.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06991114RecruitingPhase 2
AlloNK and rituximab for relapsing rheumatologic diseases
This trial tests a new natural killer (NK) cell therapy called AlloNK given with rituximab for people with certain autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's disease, inflammatory myopathies, or systemic sclerosis) that have not responded well to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this combination can better control the disease.
Chula Vista, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - 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.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07038447Enrolling by invitationPhase 1
A study of KITE-363 for people with severe autoimmune diseases
This trial tests a new treatment called KITE-363 for people with certain autoimmune diseases (like lupus, scleroderma, or inflammatory myositis) that haven't improved with standard treatments. The goal is to see if KITE-363 can reduce disease activity and improve symptoms.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07085104RecruitingPhase 1
Study of ALLO-329 for lupus, myositis, or scleroderma
This trial tests a new one-time cell therapy (ALLO-329) made from donor cells to target and calm overactive immune cells in people with lupus, myositis, or scleroderma that hasn't improved with usual medications. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and can help reduce disease activity.
Loma Linda, CaliforniaAges 18–74 - NCT06733935RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Study of NKX019 for immune diseases
This trial tests an investigational cell therapy called NKX019 for people with certain autoimmune diseases like scleroderma, myositis, vasculitis, or rheumatoid arthritis. It aims to see if NKX019 can help control the disease when standard treatments have not worked well enough.
Orange, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT03816345RecruitingPhase 1
Nivolumab for advanced cancer with autoimmune disease
This trial tests whether the immunotherapy drug nivolumab can safely treat advanced cancer in people who also have an autoimmune disease like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or multiple sclerosis. It aims to find out if the drug may help control cancer while managing their autoimmune condition.

What taking part in a systemic sclerosis (ssc) study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.

Common questions
- Are there systemic sclerosis (ssc) clinical trials in California?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 13 recruiting systemic sclerosis (ssc) studies with a site in California, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a systemic sclerosis (ssc) study in California?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in California to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in California, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a systemic sclerosis (ssc) trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New systemic sclerosis (ssc) studies open in California regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
