Study of CLN-978 for people with systemic lupus erythematosus
This trial tests an experimental drug called CLN-978, given as a shot under the skin, that targets a protein on certain immune cells (B cells) to try to calm overactive immune activity in lupus. The goal is to see if it can reduce lupus symptoms for people whose disease has not been controlled by other treatments.
Avondale, ArizonaAges 18–70 - NCT06625671RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
DB-2304 antibody injection for lupus skin disease (SLE/CLE)
This trial tests an experimental antibody injection (DB-2304) to see if it can improve lupus skin rashes and other lupus symptoms. It is for people with active lupus skin disease who have already tried standard treatments.
La Palma, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT06631404Recruiting
Ultrasound test for lupus kidney activity
This trial uses an ultrasound to measure kidney blood flow in people with lupus kidney disease. The goal is to see if this simple test can tell how active the disease is, which might help doctors adjust treatment without needing frequent biopsies.
SohagAges 18–50 - NCT06642402Recruiting
Studying lupus kidney disease using urine particles
This study looks at tiny particles in urine to better understand and monitor lupus-related kidney problems. It may help find better ways to track the disease without invasive biopsies.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for lupus?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 337 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.
