Wuhan, HubeiAges 18–70 - NCT07444307RecruitingPhase 1
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.
Hefei, AnhuiAges 18–65 - NCT07425730Recruiting
Heart problems in childhood lupus study

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for refractory systemic lupus erythematosus?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 82 recruiting refractory systemic lupus erythematosus 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 systemic lupus erythematosus 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 systemic lupus erythematosus 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.
