We’re tracking 9 recruiting vasculitis studies with a site in Pennsylvania — including Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 4 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Pennsylvania
- NCT03004326Recruiting
Biopsy study to test skin inflammation gene signals
This study uses a skin biopsy to look at “gene signals” (transcriptomics) in patients with active vasculitis that shows up on the skin. It may help researchers understand what is happening in your disease and how different types of vasculitis differ.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 5 years+ - NCT05734404Recruiting
Long-term study of brain vessel inflammation
This study follows adults diagnosed with inflammation of blood vessels in the brain (CNS vasculitis). It aims to better understand the condition over time and could help improve how it’s diagnosed and managed.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT02939573RecruitingPhase 2
Study of medicines for skin-only vasculitis flares
This Phase 2 trial tests different medicines to calm active skin vasculitis and prevent flare-ups. It’s for people whose vasculitis mainly affects the skin, not major organs like kidneys or the brain.
Hershey, PennsylvaniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06072482RecruitingPhase 4
Avacopan for ANCA vasculitis (GPA or MPA)
This study tests an oral medication called avacopan for people with active ANCA-associated vasculitis (GPA or MPA). It’s for those who need strong treatment to control their disease and aims to see if avacopan works as well as standard therapies.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 18–100 - NCT02967068Recruiting
Share your study tissue for future research
This study is a “tissue repository” that collects and stores leftover tissue from other approved VCRC studies. If you already took part in one of those studies, you may be able to let researchers use your tissue to help answer future questions.
Pittsburgh, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT04919538Recruiting
Long-term study of relapsing polychondritis
This study follows people who have been diagnosed with relapsing polychondritis over time. It aims to better understand the condition and how it progresses, which may help future care.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges Any age - NCT05003986RecruitingPhase 2
Sparsentan for children with protein leaking kidney diseases
This Phase 2 study tests sparsentan in children with certain kidney diseases that cause high amounts of protein in the urine. It aims to see if the medicine can reduce kidney damage signals and protein leakage compared with standard care.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 1–17 - 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.
Philadelphia, PennsylvaniaAges 12–70 - NCT01241305Recruiting
One-Time DNA Study for Different Types of Vasculitis
This trial collects a one-time DNA sample to better understand vasculitis, which are illnesses where blood vessels become inflamed. It may help researchers find why these conditions happen and how they differ across people.

What taking part in a vasculitis 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 vasculitis clinical trials in Pennsylvania?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 9 recruiting vasculitis studies with a site in Pennsylvania, 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 vasculitis study in Pennsylvania?
- 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 Pennsylvania to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Pennsylvania, 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 vasculitis 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 vasculitis studies open in Pennsylvania regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
