First seen Feb 06, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 9 times
Summary
This study looks at a blood protein called FAP, which is linked to tissue scarring and inflammation. Researchers will measure FAP levels in 111 adults with rheumatoid arthritis or systemic sclerosis, plus healthy volunteers, and compare them with standard exams, imaging, and lung tests. The goal is to see if FAP can serve as a simple blood marker for disease activity and lung involvement. Participation does not change usual medical care.
