Study of blood vessel inflammation over time
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at different types of blood vessel inflammation (vasculitis) to learn more about why they happen and how they progress. By joining, you may help doctors better understand these conditions and improve future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You or your child must be at least 3 years old.
- You must have a known or suspected diagnosis of a type of blood vessel inflammation (vasculitis), or be a healthy volunteer.
- You must not have an active cancer, infection, or other medical condition that could make participation unsafe.
- If you are a patient, you cannot be taking certain blood-thinning medications (like warfarin, heparin, or clopidogrel) if you are having a nasal brush or biopsy.
- You must be able to provide consent (or have a parent/guardian do so if you are a minor).

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This study collects information and blood samples (biomarkers) to better understand Takayasu arteritis and how active it is. It may help researchers find tests that support diagnosis and track disease activity.
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.
This study collects blood and health information from people with inflammatory diseases to better understand how inflammation affects the heart. By participating, you can help researchers find better ways to prevent heart problems.
This study collects and stores health information and possibly samples from people diagnosed with ANCA-associated vasculitis to help researchers learn more about the disease. It may help future studies, but it is mainly focused on collection rather than testing a new treatment.
This study is looking for biomarkers (biological clues) in people with newly diagnosed or flaring giant cell arteritis (GCA) or polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR). Participating may help researchers find better ways to diagnose and monitor these conditions.
