Recruiting studies in Michigan
- NCT06617325RecruitingPhase 3
New drug for moderate to severe lupus
This study tests a new medicine called Dapirolizumab Pegol (given as an infusion) for people with moderate to severe lupus (SLE) that is not well controlled despite standard treatments. It aims to see if the drug can reduce lupus activity and prevent flares.
Detroit, MichiganAges 16 years+ - NCT04976322Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Long-term lupus treatment safety study with dapirolizumab
This Phase 3 study tests whether dapirolizumab pegol is safe and tolerable for people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) when taken long-term. You may be offered a chance to stay on this medicine if the study team thinks you could benefit.
Detroit, MichiganAges 16 years+ - NCT05352919Enrolling by invitationPhase 3
Long-term study of litifilimab for lupus symptom control
This study follows people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who already took part in an earlier, 1-year placebo-controlled trial. It looks at the long-term safety of litifilimab and whether it helps improve lupus symptoms over time.
Flint, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT07409181RecruitingPhase 2
Testing an experimental pill for active lupus (SLE)
This study tests an experimental daily pill (BI 3000202) for people with active lupus (SLE) to see if it can reduce disease activity. It compares different doses against a placebo, and you must already be on stable lupus background treatment.
Grand Blanc, MichiganAges 18–74 - NCT07355218RecruitingPhase 3
Testing enpatoran for lupus skin problems
This trial tests an oral drug called enpatoran for people with lupus that causes skin rashes (like discoid or subacute cutaneous lupus). The goal is to see if the drug can improve these skin symptoms.
Auburn Hills, MichiganAges 18–75 - NCT07332481RecruitingPhase 3
Testing enpatoran for lupus affecting the skin
This trial tests if a drug called enpatoran can help people with lupus that causes skin rashes, like discoid lupus or subacute cutaneous lupus. It may be for those with or without systemic lupus.
Troy, MichiganAges 18–75 - NCT07438496RecruitingPhase 3
Study of nipocalimab for moderate to severe lupus
This trial tests a new medicine, nipocalimab, for adults with moderate to severe lupus. It aims to see if the drug can help control lupus symptoms and reduce disease activity.
Sterling Heights, MichiganAges 18–75 - NCT07260877RecruitingPhase 2
Testing VENT-03 for active skin lupus with or without systemic lupus
This study tests an experimental medicine called VENT-03 to see if it can improve skin lupus symptoms in adults. It compares VENT-03 against a placebo (a pill with no active drug) and includes a longer-term option where everyone can get the real drug. The goal is to find a new treatment for people whose lupus affects their skin.
Flint, MichiganAges 18–80 - NCT07201129RecruitingPhase 3
Cenerimod for Active Lupus Nephritis
This trial tests if an investigational drug called cenerimod can safely and effectively treat active lupus nephritis when added to your regular lupus medications. It's for people with recent kidney biopsy showing active lupus kidney disease and high protein in urine.
Sterling Heights, MichiganAges 18–75 - 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.
Ann Arbor, MichiganAges 16 years+ - NCT03816345RecruitingPhase 1
Nivolumab for advanced cancer with autoimmune conditions
This Phase 1 study tests nivolumab, an immunotherapy “anti-cancer accelerator,” in people with advanced cancer who also have an autoimmune disorder. It aims to see if nivolumab can be given safely and whether it may help shrink or control cancer.
Detroit, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06232304Recruiting
Program for young people with childhood lupus
This study tests a program to help teenagers and young adults with childhood-onset lupus manage symptoms like fatigue, sadness, or pain. It aims to improve daily life and well-being.
Grand Rapids, MichiganAges 12–22 - NCT06411249RecruitingPhase 4
Belimumab for people with early lupus
This study tests whether a medicine called belimumab (Benlysta) works better for people diagnosed with lupus in the last 2 years. It aims to slow down the disease before it causes lasting organ damage.
Lansing, MichiganAges 18 years+ - NCT06133972RecruitingPhase 3
Long-term safety of ianalumab for lupus (extension study)
This extension study tests the long-term safety of ianalumab for people with systemic lupus erythematosus. If you completed a prior SIRIUS-SLE study and your doctor thinks you'd benefit, you may continue treatment for up to 60 more weeks.
Grand Blanc, MichiganAges 12–100 - NCT06208514Recruiting
Brief Pain Exposure Therapy for chronic pain conditions

What taking part in a systemic lupus erythematosus study involves
A screening visit first
Before anything else, the study team checks whether you fit — usually a visit with some tests. You can stop at any point, and screening is typically free.
Care at a nearby site
Study visits happen at a clinic or hospital taking part. Many studies cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits, and some reimburse travel.
You stay in control
Taking part is voluntary and you can leave a study at any time, for any reason, without affecting your regular care.
The team decides eligibility
Our fit check is a helpful first read, not a decision. The study team makes the final call after reviewing your health history.
