Testing Two Drugs for Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis
This trial tests two study drugs, inebilizumab and blinatumomab, for people with lupus (SLE) or rheumatoid arthritis (RA) that hasn't gotten better with standard treatments. It focuses on those with active disease, especially lupus-related kidney problems.
Scottsdale, ArizonaAges 18–75 - NCT07180537Recruiting

- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 223 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.
