About this study

In plain language

The CARRA Registry collects health data from people whose rheumatic diseases began in childhood. These diseases can affect joints and other parts of the body. The data will help future studies answer questions about treatments, including their safety.

Continuation of the CARRA Registry as described in the protocol will support data collection on patients with pediatric-onset rheumatic diseases. The CARRA Registry will form the basis for future CARRA studies. In particular, this observational registry will be used to answer pressing questions about therapeutics used to treat pediatric rheumatic diseases, including safety questions.

Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
