Understanding Lupus: Research Study at NIH
This research study aims to better understand systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks its own tissues. Researchers will evaluate patients with lupus, study genetic factors, and perform optional imaging tests to learn how the disease affects blood vessels and the heart.

CAR-T Cell Therapy for Treatment-Resistant Lupus
This study tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CAR-T cells) designed to target and reduce the immune cells driving lupus in patients whose disease hasn't responded to standard treatments. Researchers will first identify which specific immune cells are causing your lupus, then engineer your own immune cells to fight them.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07526350RecruitingEarly Phase 1
MTS109 for Hard-to-Treat Autoimmune Diseases
This early-stage trial tests a new treatment called MTS109 for autoimmune diseases (like lupus, muscle inflammation, scleroderma, vasculitis, or Sjögren's syndrome) that haven't responded well to standard medications. The goal is to see if MTS109 can help control disease that keeps flaring or getting worse despite current treatments.

CAR-T Cell Therapy for Treatment-Resistant Autoimmune Diseases
This study tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CAR-T cells) designed to treat severe autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, dermatomyositis, and scleroderma that haven't responded well to standard treatments. The therapy works by modifying your own immune cells to target and eliminate the B cells that are causing your autoimmune disease.

- How do I know if I qualify for a lupus erythematosus, systemic 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, systemic 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.
