Recruiting studies in Illinois
- 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT06328777RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Testing a new immune cell therapy for systemic sclerosis (scleroderma)
This trial tests a new treatment called CABA-201, which uses your own immune cells to target and calm the overactive immune system causing scleroderma. It aims to reduce symptoms and slow or stop the disease's progression.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–75 - 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–70 - 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - NCT07691970RecruitingPhase 3
Continued treatment study for people who benefited from anifrolumab
This study lets people who finished a previous anifrolumab (Saphnelo) trial and saw benefits continue getting the treatment. It aims to see how well the drug works over a longer time.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 5–80 - 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–74 - NCT07295847RecruitingPhase 1
Study of AZD0120 for autoimmune diseases
This trial tests if a new medication, AZD0120, is safe for people with autoimmune diseases. It aims to help patients by targeting the immune system.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18–75 - 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 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.
Willowbrook, IllinoisAges 18 years+ - 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.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 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 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 clinical trials in Illinois?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 12 recruiting systemic sclerosis studies with a site in Illinois, 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 study in Illinois?
- 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 Illinois to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Illinois, 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 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.
