Study on pulmonary hypertension in connective tissue disease
Part of Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a confirmed connective tissue disease (such as lupus, Sjögren's, scleroderma, or others).
- You must have pulmonary hypertension that is diagnosed with a right heart catheterization and meets specific pressure readings.
- You cannot have significant lung disease (like scarring or COPD).
- You cannot have other causes of pulmonary hypertension (for example, left heart disease, blood clots, HIV, or liver disease).
- You must be at least 18 years old.

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 observational study is looking at people diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension to better understand how it behaves over time. You may help researchers by allowing repeated check-ins for years and sharing symptom and test information.
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 study looks at lung tissue from people having chest surgery to understand why some lung diseases lead to high blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension). You may be eligible if you're having lung surgery or are on the lung transplant list.
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.
This study is testing whether a new risk score can better predict outcomes for people who have both chronic lung disease and pulmonary hypertension (high blood pressure in the lungs). If you qualify, the researchers will follow your health over time to see how well the score works.
