NCT ID NCT07515638
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study is creating a large collection of medical data and blood samples from 450 adults with autoimmune diseases (rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or scleroderma) and 50 healthy volunteers. Researchers will use advanced lab techniques to find unique biological markers that could help diagnose or understand these conditions better. The goal is to gather information, not to test a new treatment.
