Guangzhou, GuangdomgAges 18–65 - NCT06585514RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR T-cell therapy for hard-to-treat lupus
This trial tests a treatment where your own immune cells are modified to attack and destroy lupus-causing B cells. It's for people with lupus (SLE) that hasn't improved with standard treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 3–65 - NCT06576271RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for lupus and related lung disease
This study tests an experimental drug called GSK4527363. It is first being given to healthy volunteers to check safety, then to people with lupus (SLE) and people with connective tissue disease-related lung disease (CTD-ILD). The goal is to see if the drug is safe and how the body processes it.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–65 - NCT06548607RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-T therapy for autoimmune diseases
This early-phase trial tests a new CAR-T cell therapy that targets CD19 or both CD19 and BCMA to treat several autoimmune diseases like lupus, scleroderma, and vasculitis. It aims to calm the overactive immune system with a single infusion of your own engineered cells.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for sle (systemic lupus)?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 217 recruiting sle (systemic 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 sle (systemic 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 sle (systemic 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.
