Study of CTX112 for adults with autoimmune disease
This trial tests an experimental cell therapy called CTX112 for people with lupus, scleroderma, or inflammatory myositis that hasn't responded well to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it's safe and if it can help control the disease.
La Jolla, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT06817889RecruitingPhase 2
Remdesivir for RSV in people with weak immune systems
This trial tests if remdesivir can safely treat RSV (a respiratory virus) in people with weakened immune systems, such as those who have had a stem cell or bone marrow transplant, CAR T-cell therapy, or are being treated for blood cancer. If you have a confirmed RSV infection in your nose or throat and are at moderate or high risk for complications, you may be able to join.
Duarte, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06557265RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
NKX019 for lupus kidney disease or membranous nephropathy
This trial tests an experimental cell therapy called NKX019 for people with active lupus nephritis (a type of kidney inflammation from lupus) or primary membranous nephropathy (another kidney condition) that hasn't gotten better after standard treatments. It may help if you have tried at least two treatments for lupus kidney disease or one for membranous nephropathy and still have active kidney disease.
Tustin, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT06308978RecruitingPhase 1
Study of FT819 for B-cell autoimmune diseases

What taking part in a autoimmune diseases study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
