CAR-T cell therapy for hard-to-treat lupus
This trial tests a new immune cell therapy (CAR-T) for people with lupus that hasn't gotten better with standard treatments. The goal is to see if these modified cells can calm the overactive immune system and improve symptoms.
Lyasny, Minsk OblastAges 18–70 - NCT07175285Recruiting
Study for lupus patients not helped by steroids and 2 immunosuppressants
This trial tests a new treatment for people with active lupus who haven't responded well to steroids and at least two other immune-suppressing drugs, including a biologic. It aims to find a better option for controlling lupus symptoms.

Study of LY4298445 for Lupus and Rheumatoid Arthritis
This trial tests a new drug called LY4298445 in healthy people and those with lupus or rheumatoid arthritis. It aims to see if the drug is safe and how the body processes it.
BrisbaneAges 18–55 - NCT06917742RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CPTX2309 for rheumatoid arthritis and lupus
This trial tests an investigational drug called CPTX2309, given intravenously, for people with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis or systemic lupus erythematosus. It aims to see if the drug is safe and effective.
Herston, QueenslandAges 18–65 - NCT03543839RecruitingPhase 4
Belimumab for early lupus activity in the first two years
This trial tests belimumab to see if it can improve lupus (SLE) disease activity in people who were diagnosed within the last two years. You may be eligible if your lupus is currently mild to moderate and your background lupus medicines are stable.
