Lupus Nephritis clinical trials in Texas
We’re tracking 13 recruiting lupus nephritis studies with a site in Texas — including Phase 1, Phase 1/Phase 2, Phase 2, Phase 3 and Phase 4 studies, each written for real people, not researchers.
Recruiting studies in Texas
- NCT06975787RecruitingPhase 1
A New Bispecific Antibody for Lupus Nephritis
This trial is testing a new type of medicine called a 'bispecific antibody' for people whose lupus nephritis has not responded to standard treatments or keeps coming back. The goal is to find a safe dose that might better control the kidney inflammation.
Houston, TexasAges 18–60 - NCT07611214RecruitingPhase 4
LUPKYNIS Combined With Immune-Targeting Drugs for Lupus Kidney Disease
This study tests whether adding LUPKYNIS (a drug that protects the kidney) to one of three immune-system medications helps people with lupus nephritis (lupus affecting the kidneys). The goal is to reduce protein in urine and protect kidney function.
Bellaire, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT07053800RecruitingPhase 2
Obe-cel for severe lupus with kidney inflammation
This trial tests a new cell therapy called obe-cel in people ages 12 to 65 with severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) that has not responded to other treatments and has caused active lupus nephritis (kidney disease). The goal is to see if obe-cel can reduce lupus activity and improve kidney health.
San Antonio, TexasAges 12–65 - NCT07201129RecruitingPhase 3
Cenerimod for Active Lupus Nephritis
This trial tests if an investigational drug called cenerimod can safely and effectively treat active lupus nephritis when added to your regular lupus medications. It's for people with recent kidney biopsy showing active lupus kidney disease and high protein in urine.
Bellaire, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT06581198RecruitingPhase 2
CAR-T cell therapy for lupus or lupus nephritis
This trial tests a new CAR-T cell treatment called rapcabtagene autoleucel for people with active lupus or lupus nephritis that hasn't improved with at least two standard therapies. It aims to reduce disease activity and may offer a new option for hard-to-treat cases.
Houston, TexasAges 18–75 - NCT05934149Recruiting
Lupus health registry that stores samples for future research
This study keeps a long-term record of people with lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus) and collects samples so researchers can study the disease better. You may be able to join if you meet lupus diagnosis criteria, are not pregnant, and can follow the study visits and consent process.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–110 - NCT05538208RecruitingPhase 2
Children with lupus kidney inflammation using mycophenolate
This Phase 2 study tests how well the medicine mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) works for children and teens with lupus nephritis that is “proliferative” (a specific biopsy type). You may qualify if your kidney biopsy and current treatment match the study’s targets and you can follow frequent visits and testing.
Houston, TexasAges 8–20 - NCT05268289RecruitingPhase 2
Trial for lupus kidney inflammation using LNP023
This Phase 2 study tests whether LNP023 can improve outcomes and safety in people with active lupus nephritis (lupus-related kidney inflammation), class III or IV. It may help by targeting the ongoing immune activity that is damaging the kidneys.
Dallas, TexasAges 18–100 - NCT06434363RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Cell therapy plus tafasitamab for autoimmune diseases
This trial tests a new cell therapy (AD-PluReceptor) combined with the drug tafasitamab for people with certain autoimmune diseases like systemic sclerosis, lupus, or chronic graft-versus-host disease. It aims to see if this treatment can help when standard therapies have failed.
Houston, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT06121297RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CABA-201 for active lupus
This trial tests a new treatment called CABA-201, which is a type of immune cell therapy (CAR T cells) for people with active lupus. The goal is to see if it's safe and can help control lupus symptoms.
Houston, TexasAges 18–65 - NCT05039619RecruitingPhase 2
Obinutuzumab trial for adolescents with active lupus kidney inflammation
This Phase 2 study tests obinutuzumab, a targeted antibody medicine, in teens with active lupus nephritis (inflammation in the kidney). It looks at whether it helps kidney disease and is safe, including how the body handles the drug.
El Paso, TexasAges 5–17 - NCT07225387RecruitingPhase 4
Belimumab and voclosporin for lupus kidney disease
This study tests whether combining two medications, belimumab and voclosporin, is safe and effective for treating a specific type of lupus that affects the kidneys (lupus nephritis). It may help people with active kidney inflammation who need better control of their disease.
Fort Worth, TexasAges 18–80 - 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.

What taking part in a lupus nephritis 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.

Common questions
- Are there lupus nephritis clinical trials in Texas?
- Yes. We're currently tracking 13 recruiting lupus nephritis studies with a site in Texas, each rewritten in plain language so you can see what it's testing and who it's for.
- How do I find out if I qualify for a lupus nephritis study in Texas?
- Each study lists its eligibility rules — age, diagnosis, prior treatments. On every trial page we explain these in plain language and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Do I have to live in Texas to take part?
- Not necessarily. These studies have a site in Texas, but eligibility is about your health, not your address — some people travel to take part, and a few studies reimburse travel. The study team can tell you what's required.
- Does it cost anything to join a lupus nephritis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what's covered before you decide.
Not the right time?
New lupus nephritis studies open in Texas regularly. Set up a health profile and we’ll quietly watch for studies that fit you and email you when one opens.
Clin2 helps you find and understand clinical trials and does not provide medical advice. Study data comes from ClinicalTrials.gov. Talk with your doctor about whether a specific trial is right for you.
