Study of immune cells in new antisynthetase syndrome with lung disease
Part of Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at special immune cells (T cells) in people newly diagnosed with antisynthetase syndrome that has affected their lungs. It aims to understand how these cells are involved in the condition, which could lead to better treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have been recently diagnosed with antisynthetase syndrome (a rare autoimmune condition).
- The syndrome must have caused inflammation and scarring in your lungs (interstitial lung disease).
- Your lung problem cannot be due to another cause.
- You cannot have taken steroids, immunosuppressants, or immune-modulating drugs in the 3 months before your diagnosis.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests whether a new class of drugs called JAK inhibitors (which block inflammation signals) is better than a standard treatment (calcineurin inhibitors) for people with lung scarring (interstitial lung disease) caused by Anti-Synthetase Syndrome. It is for people who have not yet taken any immune-suppressing medications for this condition.
This early-phase trial tests whether a new type of immune cell (CAR NK) can treat two conditions: antisynthetase antibody syndrome (a rare autoimmune disease) and rheumatoid arthritis. It's for people whose current treatments haven't worked well enough.
This study looks at a specific type of immune cell activity (called neutrophil extracellular traps) in the blood of people with systemic sclerosis, other connective tissue diseases, and healthy volunteers. It aims to understand how these cells may be involved in the disease and could lead to better treatments.
This study looks for environmental risk factors that may be linked to anti-synthetase syndrome, a type of inflammatory muscle disease. It compares people with the condition to carefully matched people without it, using questionnaires, blood samples, and lung imaging when needed.
This is an observational (non-treatment) study that collects information about how interstitial lung disease (lung scarring) happens in people with certain autoimmune or immune-related conditions. It uses patient interviews or existing medical records to better understand the pattern and causes, which may help future care.
This study uses a lung wash (bronchoalveolar lavage) to look at the types of immune cells in the lungs of people with certain lung scarring diseases called interstitial lung diseases (ILD). It may help doctors better understand different ILD types and guide treatment.
