Study of connective tissue disease affecting the lungs
Treatments studied
Part of Lungs & breathing, Skin clinical trials.
This study looks at people aged 18 and older who have a connective tissue disease and lung involvement. It aims to better understand how these lung problems progress and may help doctors choose better care.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Be 18 years or older
- Have been diagnosed with a connective tissue disease
- Be willing to sign informed consent to join the study
- Not have another serious health problem that would interfere with your lung disease course
- Not have serious uncontrolled lung high blood pressure (pulmonary hypertension)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study looks at people with connective tissue diseases who also have lung problems. It helps doctors understand and manage these lung issues better.
This trial is for adults with interstitial lung disease (a group of lung conditions that cause scarring). It aims to understand the disease better and may help find new ways to treat it.
This study helps doctors identify early signs of lung scarring (fibrosis) in patients with autoimmune diseases like scleroderma, rheumatoid arthritis, and Sjögren's syndrome. By catching this early, researchers hope to better understand and treat these complications.
This study follows people who are being seen for lung scarring (also called ILD) and compares them with family members without lung scarring. It helps researchers better understand how this condition changes over time and what to look for in the future.
This trial is studying people who have both a connective tissue disease (like lupus or scleroderma) and pulmonary hypertension, which is high blood pressure in the lungs. By participating, doctors can learn more about how to better treat this combination.
This study follows people with interstitial lung disease to learn more about how Chinese medicine can help. If you have ILD and are 18 or older, you may be able to join.
