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)

This trial studies people with connective tissue diseases (like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis) who have lung or chest symptoms. It aims to better understand and manage these lung problems, which may help improve your breathing and quality of life.
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 follows people with systemic sclerosis who also have lung scarring (interstitial lung disease). It aims to map how lung function and lung images change over time, which may help doctors predict and better manage disease progression.
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 study is for people with connective tissue disease (like lupus or scleroderma) who also have high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension). It aims to better understand and treat this condition by collecting medical information from participants.
