Recruiting studies
- NCT07236801RecruitingPhase 1
Cell therapy for hard-to-treat autoimmune diseases
This trial tests a new cell therapy called YTS109 for people with several autoimmune diseases that have not improved with standard medications. It aims to see if this treatment can help control the disease when other treatments have failed.
Xuzhou, JiangsuAges 18–65 - NCT07278609Recruiting

Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07403097RecruitingPhase 1
CD19 CAR-T therapy for refractory lupus
This trial tests whether a personalized cell therapy called CD19 CAR-T can help people with hard-to-treat lupus (SLE). The treatment uses your own immune cells that have been modified to attack faulty B cells, which are involved in lupus. It is for patients who have moderate to severe disease despite trying multiple standard treatments.

Study of new drug TI-0032-III for hard-to-treat autoimmune diseases
This early-phase trial tests a new drug called TI-0032-III for people with several autoimmune diseases that haven't gotten better with standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug can safely reduce disease activity and offer a new option for people who have few choices left.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT07424261Recruiting
Study of anifrolumab for lupus in routine care
This study follows people with lupus who are starting a new medication called anifrolumab (given as a shot under the skin) as part of their regular medical care. It aims to see how well the medicine works in everyday life.

Study of EVM18001 for hard-to-treat autoimmune diseases
This trial tests a new treatment, EVM18001, for people with lupus, myasthenia gravis, or systemic sclerosis that hasn't improved with standard therapies. It aims to see if this therapy can help control the disease.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT07507201RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Car-T cells for autoimmune diseases like lupus
This trial tests whether specially-engineered immune cells (CAR-T cells) can help people with certain autoimmune diseases that haven't gotten better with standard treatments. The cells are designed to target and remove faulty B cells that are causing the immune system to attack the body.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 3 years+ - NCT07586267RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for autoimmune blood diseases
This early-stage trial tests a new type of cell therapy (CAR-T cells) designed to treat severe autoimmune diseases where the immune system attacks the body's own organs. The therapy targets specific immune cells (B cells) that may be causing the disease. It may help patients who haven't improved with standard treatments or can't tolerate them.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 3 years+ - NCT07611747RecruitingPhase 4
Ultrasound Screening to Prevent Heart Disease in Rheumatic Patients
This study tests whether using ultrasound to look at arteries in the neck can help prevent heart attacks and strokes in people with inflammatory joint diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or lupus. Researchers will use the results to guide treatment decisions.
Alicante, AlicanteAges 50 years+ - NCT07629596RecruitingEarly Phase 1
mRNA CAR-T therapy for severe lupus or autoimmune anemia
This early-stage trial tests a new mRNA-based therapy called Arnovie101 that trains your immune cells to fight lupus (SLE) or autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) that haven't improved with standard treatments. The therapy may help reduce disease activity and symptoms.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–60 - NCT07636044Recruiting
Shingles Vaccine Response in Lupus Patients
This study tests how well the shingles vaccine (Shingrix) works in people with lupus who take immune-suppressing medications. Researchers want to understand if the vaccine provides good protection in lupus patients, since their immune systems work differently.
SeoulAges 50 years+ - NCT06888973Enrolling by invitationPhase 1/Phase 2
Stem cell infusion for autoimmune diseases
This clinical trial is testing if infusions of special stem cells (called mesenchymal stem cells) can help people with certain autoimmune diseases where standard treatments have not worked well enough. It is an early-phase study in Pakistan for adults (and some children for one condition) with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, systemic sclerosis, ankylosing spondylitis, or dermatomyositis/polymyositis.
RawalpindiAges 18–50 - NCT05859997Enrolling by invitation
CAR-T cell therapy for active autoimmune disease flare-ups
This study tests an immune-cell treatment (CAR-T, called BRL-301) in people with certain autoimmune diseases that are active and hard to control. It may help your immune system calm down if standard treatments have not worked or your disease has returned.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT07598396RecruitingPhase 2
Mosunetuzumab for systemic lupus erythematosus treatment
This study tests a new drug called mosunetuzumab in people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a disease where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues. The drug is designed to help control the immune response and reduce lupus symptoms, including kidney involvement if present.

Valladolid, ValladolidAges 18 years+ - NCT07355218RecruitingPhase 3
Testing enpatoran for lupus skin problems
This trial tests an oral drug called enpatoran for people with lupus that causes skin rashes (like discoid or subacute cutaneous lupus). The goal is to see if the drug can improve these skin symptoms.
Upland, CaliforniaAges 18–75 - NCT07629583RecruitingPhase 1
Testing cevostamab for lupus with kidney involvement
This study tests a new drug called cevostamab for people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a condition where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues. Some participants also have lupus nephritis, which means the disease is affecting their kidneys. The drug may help by targeting a specific part of the immune system.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lupus or sle?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 344 recruiting lupus or sle 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 or sle 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 or sle 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.
