Deyang, SichuanAges 18–65 - NCT07657793RecruitingPhase 2/Phase 3
Sirolimus for Lupus-Related Low Platelets
This trial tests sirolimus, an immune-system-calming medicine, for people with lupus who also have very low platelet counts (ITP). It may help reduce bleeding risk and improve platelet numbers.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT07629583RecruitingPhase 1
Testing cevostamab for lupus with kidney involvement
This study tests a new drug called cevostamab for people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), a condition where the immune system attacks the body's own tissues. Some participants also have lupus nephritis, which means the disease is affecting their kidneys. The drug may help by targeting a specific part of the immune system.
Toulouse, Haute GaronneAges 18–75 - NCT07043153Recruiting
Predicting lupus disease activity with blood tests
This study looks at whether two blood markers (AGR and PNI) can help track how active lupus is. You may be eligible if you have lupus and are not pregnant or have other serious health conditions.
SohagAges 18 years+ - NCT06314282Recruiting
Lupus study tracking real-world results with anifrolumab
This study looks at how well anifrolumab works for people with lupus in everyday medical care, not just in a research lab. It may help you if your doctor has decided to prescribe anifrolumab for the first time.
Buenos AiresAges 18 years+ - NCT05567198Recruiting
Testing hormone shots to protect ovaries during lupus chemotherapy
This study looks at whether a monthly/3-month hormone medicine (a “GnRH shot”) can help protect ovaries in people with lupus who are treated with cyclophosphamide. It also compares this to lupus patients who do not receive the ovarian-protecting shot, using questionnaires to track outcomes.
Bethesda, MarylandAges 18–120 - NCT07056621Recruiting
How belimumab changes lupus over time
This study looks at how the drug belimumab affects the long-term course of lupus. It compares patients who receive belimumab to similar patients who do not, to see if it helps control disease activity over time.
Athens, AtticaAges 18 years+ - NCT07403097RecruitingPhase 1
CD19 CAR-T therapy for refractory lupus
This trial tests whether a personalized cell therapy called CD19 CAR-T can help people with hard-to-treat lupus (SLE). The treatment uses your own immune cells that have been modified to attack faulty B cells, which are involved in lupus. It is for patients who have moderate to severe disease despite trying multiple standard treatments.
ChongqingAges 5 years+ - NCT07331467RecruitingPhase 1
Ultra-fast CAR-T cell therapy for lupus
This trial tests a new CAR-T cell treatment for people with lupus who still have moderate to severe symptoms despite trying standard medications. It aims to quickly stop the immune system from attacking the body.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - NCT07318259RecruitingPhase 1
Study of a new CAR-T therapy for lupus
This trial tests a fast-acting CAR-T therapy that targets BCMA and CD70 proteins to treat lupus. It may help people with moderate-to-severe lupus that hasn't improved with standard treatments.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18 years+ - 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+ - NCT06987565RecruitingPhase 2
Nerve stimulation device for lupus pain
This trial tests whether a non-invasive nerve stimulation device worn on the ear can help reduce pain and inflammation in people with lupus. It may be an option if you have moderate to severe muscle or joint pain and are not on certain medications that were recently started.
Manhasset, New YorkAges 18 years+ - NCT07586267RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for autoimmune blood diseases
This early-stage trial tests a new type of cell therapy (CAR-T cells) designed to treat severe autoimmune diseases where the immune system attacks the body's own organs. The therapy targets specific immune cells (B cells) that may be causing the disease. It may help patients who haven't improved with standard treatments or can't tolerate them.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 3 years+ - NCT07507201RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Car-T cells for autoimmune diseases like lupus
This trial tests whether specially-engineered immune cells (CAR-T cells) can help people with certain autoimmune diseases that haven't gotten better with standard treatments. The cells are designed to target and remove faulty B cells that are causing the immune system to attack the body.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 3 years+ - NCT07305116RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for autoimmune diseases

Charleston, South CarolinaAges 2 years+ - NCT07523542RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
CAR-T Cell Therapy for Treatment-Resistant Lupus
This study tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CAR-T cells) designed to target and reduce the immune cells driving lupus in patients whose disease hasn't responded to standard treatments. Researchers will first identify which specific immune cells are causing your lupus, then engineer your own immune cells to fight them.
Shenzhen, GuangdongAges 18–70 - NCT07085676RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for autoimmune diseases that resist treatment
This study tests a new cell therapy called CAR-T (using your own immune cells) for people with severe autoimmune diseases like lupus, scleroderma, or myositis that have not improved with standard treatments. The goal is to see if it can safely reduce disease activity.

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 215 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.
