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 - NCT07246096RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for autoimmune diseases
This trial tests a new CAR-T cell treatment for people with certain autoimmune diseases that have not responded to standard therapies. The treatment uses your own immune cells modified to target and attack disease-causing cells.
ShanghaiAges 18–70 - NCT07249060Recruiting
Interferon levels in cancer and autoimmune disease patients
This study looks at a protein called interferon in the blood of people with cancer who are starting immunotherapy, and people with certain autoimmune diseases (such as lupus, Sjögren's syndrome, scleroderma, or inflammatory myopathy). The goal is to compare interferon patterns and better understand immune responses.
Pamplona, NavarreAges 18 years+ - NCT06527872Recruiting
Study of belimumab for lupus kidney disease in real life
This study looks at how well belimumab (Benlysta) works in real-world settings for adults with lupus nephritis (kidney inflammation caused by lupus). If you started belimumab in the past 6–24 months, the researchers will review your medical records to see how your kidney health has changed.
Baltimore, MarylandAges 18 years+ - NCT07274059RecruitingEarly Phase 1

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.
