Lupus Biobank for Newly Diagnosed Patients
This study is building a national biobank (a storage of blood and health information) to learn more about lupus in people who were recently diagnosed (within the last 2 years). It's for patients whose lupus is not causing serious damage to major organs, so that researchers can study how the disease behaves early on.

Surovatamig safety study for rheumatoid arthritis or lupus
This trial tests surovatamig, a new experimental treatment, to see if it's safe and how the body processes it in adults with moderate-to-severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA) or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). It may be an option if you've tried other biologic or targeted therapies without success.

CAR-T cell therapy for hard-to-treat lupus in kids
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy, called BCMA/CD70 CAR-T, for children with lupus that hasn't improved with standard treatments. The goal is to see if it can safely reduce disease activity.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 5 years+ - NCT07188285Enrolling by invitation
Immune system study for active autoimmune diseases
This study uses a blood test called mass spectrometry to look at the immune system in people with active autoimmune diseases. It aims to find patterns that could help doctors better understand and treat these conditions.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT07180537Recruiting
Health course for joint and mood conditions
This study tests an online health course that helps improve diet and self-care to support cell health and wellbeing. It is for people with certain rheumatological conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, or psoriatic arthritis, who also have mood concerns.
Iowa City, IowaAges 18–100 - NCT07177911RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CC312 for moderate to severe lupus
This trial tests a new medicine called CC312 for people with moderate to severe lupus (SLE) that hasn't improved with standard treatments. The goal is to see if it is safe and can help control the disease.
Chengdu, SichuanAges 18–65 - NCT07174843RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for autoimmune diseases
This study tests a new type of cell therapy called CAR-T cells that target three proteins (CD19, CD22, BCMA) to treat people with autoimmune diseases that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it can reset the immune system and reduce disease activity.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT07148115Recruiting
Pregnancies before lupus diagnosis

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lupus?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 326 recruiting lupus 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 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 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.
