NCT ID NCT03340194
First seen Dec 16, 2025 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 19 times
Summary
This completed study involved 214 people with systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) to find out how often calcium deposits form in the hands and feet. Researchers used X-rays to detect these deposits and checked if they were linked to damage in organs like the lungs or heart. The goal is to better understand this complication and its connection to overall disease severity.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could clarify how often calcium deposits occur in scleroderma and whether they signal more severe organ involvement, guiding future monitoring.
What could go wrong
This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It cannot prove cause and effect, and results may not apply to all patients with scleroderma.
