Clinical Research within the Division of Rheumatology

The UCLA Division of Rheumatology coducts innovative biomedical and health-related research studies to advance the understanding and treatment of rheumatic diseases. Our research includes both interventional (treatment-based) and observational trials, supported by the National Institutes of Health (NIH), non-profit organizations, and industry partners.

  • Interventional trials assign participants to a treatment or therapy to evaluate its effectiveness and outcomes.
  • Observational studies monitor participants in a non-interventional setting to better understand health conditions and disease progression.

This research is an essential part of our mission to improve care, discover new therapies, and better understand the conditions we treat. 

We regularly update this page with clinical trials organized by condition. To learn more about participating in a study, please contact our clinical research team at the phone number listed below.
