Testing OL-108 for active autoimmune diseases
This trial tests an investigational drug called OL-108 for people with certain autoimmune diseases (lupus, myositis, scleroderma, or vasculitis) that have come back or not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it's safe and if it can help control the disease.
BeijingAges 18–65 - NCT07000110Recruiting
Anifrolumab and risk study for lupus patients
This study looks at potential risks of the lupus medication anifrolumab in people with moderate to severe SLE. It focuses on serious infections and malignancies to see how safe the treatment is.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lupus?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 336 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.
