Long-term safety of belimumab for lung disease in scleroderma and other connective tissue diseases

Comparing a new cell therapy (zola-cel) to standard care for active systemic sclerosis
This study tests a new type of cell therapy (CAR T-cells) to see if it works better than current treatments for active systemic sclerosis. It is designed for people whose lung disease is not well controlled by standard therapy.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 16 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT03816345RecruitingPhase 1
Nivolumab for advanced cancer with autoimmune conditions
This Phase 1 study tests nivolumab, an immunotherapy “anti-cancer accelerator,” in people with advanced cancer who also have an autoimmune disorder. It aims to see if nivolumab can be given safely and whether it may help shrink or control cancer.

Stem cell transplant using your own cells for autoimmune disease
This Phase 2 study tests an autologous stem cell transplant (a treatment using your own blood-forming stem cells) for severe systemic sclerosis or severe lupus. The goal is to reset the immune system to help control the autoimmune disease.

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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 12–70 - NCT06655155RecruitingPhase 2
Testing efgartigimod for systemic sclerosis
This trial tests an investigational drug called efgartigimod in people with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma). The goal is to see if it can safely reduce skin thickening and improve overall health. You might qualify if your skin is moderately affected and you have certain antibodies in your blood.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - 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.

What taking part in a systemic sclerosis 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.
