Looking at lung scans in rheumatoid arthritis and related diseases
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Immune system & allergy, Lungs & breathing, Skin clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You can agree to join the study
- You have had a high-resolution CT scan of your chest for medical reasons
- You have been diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, or another connective tissue disease

This study uses CT scans and blood tests to look for lung signs related to rheumatoid arthritis. It aims to find lung issues early, which may help in managing the disease better.
This study tests if a lung ultrasound can detect early signs of lung disease in people with rheumatoid arthritis. It may help you if you have certain risk factors, like being male, older, or a smoker.
This study uses a special high-resolution CT scan to look at heart and lung problems in people with a type of lung disease that gets worse over time. It may help doctors understand how the heart is affected and guide better care.
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 for people with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who are at risk for developing interstitial lung disease, which is scarring in the lungs. It aims to better understand why this happens and how to help prevent or manage it.
This study looks at patterns seen on a high-resolution CT (HRCT) scan to better understand lung disease that can occur with systemic sclerosis. It may help doctors recognize which lung changes go with which type of disease.
