Registry for people with undifferentiated connective tissue disease
Part of Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This is a study that enrolls people who have early or unclear signs of an autoimmune connective tissue problem. It aims to better understand these conditions over time, which may help future diagnosis and treatment planning.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You see a rheumatologist (autoimmune joint/immune specialist) at Hospital for Special Surgery (HSS)
- Your blood test shows an autoantibody (like a positive ANA or others) on at least 2 different tests
- Those two positive tests must be at least 12 weeks apart
- You have symptoms that can happen in connective tissue diseases (for example, joint pain, rash, dry eyes/mouth, mouth sores, lung/heart lining symptoms, or numbness)
- You do not already meet clear diagnoses such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, systemic sclerosis, or antiphospholipid syndrome

This study builds a nationwide list (registry) of people with certain autoimmune or inflammation-related illnesses. It helps researchers understand these diseases better over time, which can guide future care.
This study follows people with certain rheumatologic conditions over time to learn more about how these diseases progress and how treatments affect them. It involves regular check-ups, surveys, and sample collection.
This study is for people with certain rheumatic conditions (like arthritis, lupus, or vasculitis) and for healthy volunteers. It aims to learn more about these diseases and improve how they are treated.
This trial is a registry that collects health information from people with certain types of pulmonary hypertension linked to connective tissue diseases. It helps doctors understand patterns of disease and outcomes, which can guide future care and studies.
This study looks at whether a simple test called capillaroscopy (which examines tiny blood vessels in your fingernails) can help doctors better manage undifferentiated connective tissue disease. If you join, the test results will be used to guide your care, and researchers will see how it affects treatment decisions.
This study collects health information and may store blood or other samples to learn more about interstitial lung disease (ILD) and autoimmune-related conditions. Joining could help researchers understand different causes of ILD and improve future care.
