Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults diagnosed with systemic sclerosis (1980 or 2013 criteria) who can provide informed consent and are likely to participate in follow-up.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with extensive data gaps or lacking ability to participate in long-term follow-up may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This is an observational cohort study conducted at Peking University Third Hospital to collect clinical data from patients diagnosed with systemic sclerosis. The project aims to describe disease features, track progression over time, and explore biomarkers and possible drug targets using hospital resources and patient advocacy networks. Researchers will analyze collected information to improve understanding of pathogenesis, prognosis, and potential precision medicine approaches. Inclusion requires a confirmed systemic sclerosis diagnosis and informed consent; data completeness and ongoing follow-up are essential for eligibility.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the study could improve understanding of systemic sclerosis, potentially guiding future interventions and biomarker-driven research.
How similar studies have gone: Similar international cohorts have contributed to understanding disease characteristics and helped identify biomarkers, though local data from China are still emerging.
