Recruiting studies
- NCT07123519RecruitingPhase 1
YTS109 cell therapy for hard-to-treat autoimmune diseases
This trial tests a new cell therapy called YTS109 for people with certain severe autoimmune diseases that have not responded to standard treatments, such as lupus, Sjögren's syndrome, systemic sclerosis, inflammatory myopathy, vasculitis, and antiphospholipid syndrome. The goal is to see if it can safely reduce disease activity.
TianjinAges 18–65 - NCT06892145RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for tough systemic lupus
This trial tests a new CAR-T cell treatment for adults with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) that hasn't improved with standard therapies. It aims to see if targeting CD19 cells can calm the disease.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18 years+ - NCT07339332RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for moderate to severe lupus
This study tests whether a new CAR-T cell treatment (called CT1195E) can help people with lupus that hasn't improved with standard medicines. CAR-T cells are specially trained immune cells that seek out and destroy certain faulty immune cells, which may reduce lupus symptoms. The trial is for people with moderate to severe active lupus affecting organs like the kidneys, heart, or blood system.

CAR-T cell therapy for hard-to-treat lupus
This trial tests a new CAR-T cell therapy for people with severe lupus that hasn't improved with standard treatments. The therapy uses specially designed immune cells to target and destroy cells causing the disease.

Prula-cel for autoimmune diseases: a phase 1 study
This trial tests a new treatment called prulacabtagene leucel (prula-cel), which is a type of immune cell therapy (CAR T-cells) for people with certain autoimmune diseases. It aims to see if it can reset the immune system and reduce disease activity in conditions like lupus, scleroderma, vasculitis, or myositis.
Redwood City, CaliforniaAges 18–80 - NCT06557265RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
NKX019 for lupus kidney disease or membranous nephropathy
This trial tests an experimental cell therapy called NKX019 for people with active lupus nephritis (a type of kidney inflammation from lupus) or primary membranous nephropathy (another kidney condition) that hasn't gotten better after standard treatments. It may help if you have tried at least two treatments for lupus kidney disease or one for membranous nephropathy and still have active kidney disease.
Little Rock, ArkansasAges 18–75 - NCT06285279RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for hard-to-treat autoimmune kidney diseases
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy called CAR-T cells that target two proteins (BCMA and CD19) to treat autoimmune kidney diseases that are not responding to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this therapy can help control the disease and improve kidney function.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–65 - NCT06822881RecruitingPhase 1
Cell therapy for lupus and scleroderma
This trial tests a new cell therapy (CT1190B) for people with moderate to severe lupus or systemic sclerosis that has not responded to standard treatments. The therapy aims to calm the overactive immune system causing these autoimmune diseases.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–60 - NCT06789107RecruitingPhase 1
Blinatumomab for severe childhood lupus
This trial tests a drug called blinatumomab for children with active lupus that hasn't improved with standard treatments. It aims to see if this immunotherapy can help calm the immune system and reduce lupus activity.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 5 years+ - NCT06897930RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing a new drug for adults with lupus
This trial tests an investigational drug called AZD0120 in adults with lupus that hasn't improved with standard treatments. The goal is to see if it's safe and works well for people with lupus-related organ problems.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18–70 - NCT05858684RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-T therapy for hard-to-control lupus
This early-phase study tests a special immune therapy (CAR-T cells) made to target disease-driving immune cells in adults with lupus that has not improved despite standard treatments. It may offer a new option for people with severe, active lupus symptoms.
Shanghai, Shanghai MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06826430RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for severe lupus-related low platelets
This trial tests a new CAR-T cell treatment called Inaticabtagene Autoleucel for people with lupus that causes very low platelet counts (immune thrombocytopenia) that hasn't gotten better with standard treatments. The goal is to see if it can help raise platelet levels.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–70 - NCT06316791RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CNCT19 CAR-T therapy for refractory autoimmune diseases
This early-phase study tests a new CAR-T cell therapy (CNCT19) for people with certain autoimmune diseases that have not responded to standard treatments. It targets a protein called CD19 on immune cells to help reset the immune system and reduce disease activity.
Zhengzhou, HenanAges 18–70 - NCT07031713RecruitingPhase 1
Testing CT1192 cells for lupus that hasn't responded to treatment
This trial tests a new treatment called CT1192, which uses your own immune cells (T-cells) that are modified to target and calm overactive immune cells causing lupus. It is designed for people with moderate to severe lupus that hasn't improved with standard therapies like steroids, immunosuppressants, or biologics.
Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–60 - NCT07233642RecruitingPhase 1
Fast CD19 CAR-T therapy for lupus not helped by standard treatment
This trial tests a quick-made CAR-T cell therapy for children and adults with active lupus who haven't gotten better with standard drugs. The goal is to see if targeting a protein called CD19 on certain immune cells can calm the disease.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 5 years+ - NCT06189157RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing MB-CART19.1 therapy for severe lupus
This trial tests a new type of treatment called CAR T-cell therapy (MB-CART19.1) for people with severe lupus that has not responded to other treatments. It aims to see if this therapy can help control lupus and improve organ function.
ErlangenAges 18 years+ - NCT07085104RecruitingPhase 1
Study of ALLO-329 for lupus, myositis, or scleroderma
This trial tests a new one-time cell therapy (ALLO-329) made from donor cells to target and calm overactive immune cells in people with lupus, myositis, or scleroderma that hasn't improved with usual medications. It aims to see if this treatment is safe and can help reduce disease activity.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18–74 - NCT06934447RecruitingPhase 1
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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for refractory lupus nephritis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 43 recruiting refractory lupus nephritis 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 refractory lupus nephritis 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 refractory lupus nephritis 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.
