NCT ID NCT01276470
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 27 times
Summary
This study looks at whether certain environmental exposures—like infections, stress, or sun exposure—are more common in people with anti-synthetase syndrome (a type of myositis with lung involvement) compared to other myositis patients and healthy volunteers. Researchers will collect blood, urine, and house dust samples, plus questionnaires, from 580 participants. The goal is to identify triggers that may cause the disease, not to test a treatment.
