AI could spot hidden lung danger in scleroderma patients
NCT ID NCT07236970
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study is testing whether artificial intelligence (AI) can better detect a serious lung condition called pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) in people with scleroderma. Researchers will compare AI algorithms to traditional screening methods in 350 patients across multiple hospitals in Spain. The goal is to see if AI can catch PAH earlier and more accurately, which could lead to better outcomes.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- artificial intelligence algorithms
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could lead to a more accurate, non-invasive screening method for early detection of pulmonary hypertension in scleroderma patients, potentially improving survival and quality of life.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study using existing data and AI models, not a treatment trial. The algorithms may not perform better than current methods, and results may not apply to all patient groups.
