Recruiting studies
- NCT06166199Recruiting

Upland, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT07328581RecruitingPhase 2
CAR-T cell therapy for refractory lupus with or without kidney involvement

Testing VENT-03 for active skin lupus with or without systemic lupus
This study tests an experimental medicine called VENT-03 to see if it can improve skin lupus symptoms in adults. It compares VENT-03 against a placebo (a pill with no active drug) and includes a longer-term option where everyone can get the real drug. The goal is to find a new treatment for people whose lupus affects their skin.
Beverly Hills, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06902844Recruiting
Eque-cel for lupus that has not responded to other treatments
This trial tests a new cell therapy called eque-cel for people with lupus that has come back or is not controlled by standard treatments. It aims to see if this therapy can reduce lupus activity and improve symptoms.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18 years+ - NCT07109986RecruitingPhase 1
Study of UB-VV410 for active lupus or lupus nephritis
This trial tests a new treatment, UB-VV410, for people with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or lupus nephritis (kidney inflammation caused by lupus) that hasn't responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if this therapy can help control the disease.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lupus erythematosus?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 253 recruiting lupus erythematosus studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a lupus erythematosus trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a lupus erythematosus trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
