Study of lung problems in connective tissue disease patients
Part of Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with a connective tissue disease (like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or scleroderma).
- You have lung or chest symptoms that your doctor believes are caused by your connective tissue disease.
- You have had a chest X-ray or CT scan that shows changes in your lungs or the lining of your lungs that are linked to your disease.
- Your lung symptoms are not caused by another condition, such as an infection or heart problem.

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 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.
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 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 trial studies lung scans (HRCT) from patients with rheumatoid arthritis, interstitial lung disease, or connective tissue disease to better understand lung involvement. If you have one of these conditions and have had a lung CT, you may be able to help.
This study aims to improve how doctors diagnose and classify lung conditions that affect both the air sacs and airways, such as COPD and pulmonary fibrosis. By participating, you may help advance medical knowledge and better understand your own condition.
