Shingles vaccine safety study for people with lupus
This Phase 4 study checks how safe a shingles vaccine (Shingrix, a non-live vaccine) is for adults with lupus. You might be invited if you have lupus and haven’t had certain shingles or chickenpox-related vaccines recently, and if your lupus symptoms and immune health meet the study rules.

CAR T-cell therapy for resistant autoimmune diseases
This trial tests a new type of immune therapy called CAR T-cells that target two markers on your B cells (CD19 and BCMA).

CAR-γδT cells for refractory autoimmune diseases
This trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CAR-γδT cells) that targets a protein called CD19 on your own B cells. It is for people with certain autoimmune diseases that have not gotten better with standard treatments. The goal is to see if this therapy can safely control the disease.
BeijingAges 18–80 - NCT07246096RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for autoimmune diseases
This trial tests a new CAR-T cell treatment for people with certain autoimmune diseases that have not responded to standard therapies. The treatment uses your own immune cells modified to target and attack disease-causing cells.
ShanghaiAges 18–70 - NCT07558850Recruiting
CAR-T Cell Therapy for Treatment-Resistant Autoimmune Diseases
This study tests a new type of immune cell therapy (CAR-T cells) designed to treat severe autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, dermatomyositis, and scleroderma that haven't responded well to standard treatments. The therapy works by modifying your own immune cells to target and eliminate the B cells that are causing your autoimmune disease.
Nanjing, JiangsuAges 18–70 - NCT07719140RecruitingPhase 4
Lower steroid dose study for children with lupus nephritis
This trial tests whether a lower starting dose of steroids can control kidney inflammation in children with lupus nephritis. It aims to reduce side effects while still treating the disease effectively.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 6–18 - NCT05443516Recruiting
Blood and urine markers in active lupus kidney disease
This study looks at blood and urine markers that may show how active lupus kidney disease is and how it changes over time. It may help doctors better monitor people with active lupus-related kidney inflammation.
BrusselsAges 18–70 - NCT06943937RecruitingPhase 1
Cell therapy for hard-to-treat lupus
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy (YTS109 cells) for people with severe lupus that hasn't been controlled by standard treatments. The goal is to see if these cells can help calm the immune system and improve lupus symptoms.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18–65 - NCT07236762RecruitingPhase 1
YTS109 cell therapy for severe autoimmune diseases
This trial tests a new cell therapy called YTS109 for people with severe autoimmune diseases like lupus, Sjögren's syndrome, systemic sclerosis, inflammatory myopathy, vasculitis, and antiphospholipid syndrome. It's for those whose disease hasn't improved with standard treatments.
BengbuAges 18–65 - NCT07361094RecruitingPhase 1
CAR-T therapy for autoimmune disease after prior treatment
This trial tests a new CAR-T cell therapy that targets two proteins (CD19 and BCMA) on immune cells. It is for people with certain autoimmune diseases (like lupus or scleroderma) that have not responded well to standard treatments or have relapsed after prior cell therapy.
BeijingAges 18–70 - NCT07201129RecruitingPhase 3
Cenerimod for Active Lupus Nephritis

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 222 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.
