Recruiting studies in Tennessee
- 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.
Jackson, TennesseeAges 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.
Jackson, TennesseeAges 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.
Jackson, TennesseeAges 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.
Jackson, TennesseeAges 18–74 - NCT07430306RecruitingPhase 3
Study of anifrolumab for lupus patients not yet on strong treatments
This trial tests if a new drug called anifrolumab can help treat lupus in people who haven't taken strong medications like biologics or immunosuppressants before. It looks at overall disease activity and the chance to reduce steroid use.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18–70 - NCT06977724RecruitingPhase 1
Testing a new drug for lupus, sjogren's, and rheumatoid arthritis
This study tests an experimental medicine given by IV infusion to see if it is safe and helps reduce symptoms of lupus, sjogren's disease, or rheumatoid arthritis. It is an early-phase trial, so the main goals are checking side effects and how the drug behaves in the body, but it will also look at how well it works.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 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.
Jackson, TennesseeAges 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.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18–80 - 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.
Murfreesboro, TennesseeAges 16 years+ - NCT05934149Recruiting
Lupus health registry that stores samples for future research
This study keeps a long-term record of people with lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus) and collects samples so researchers can study the disease better. You may be able to join if you meet lupus diagnosis criteria, are not pregnant, and can follow the study visits and consent process.
Nashville, TennesseeAges 18–110 - NCT06308978RecruitingPhase 1
Study of FT819 for B-cell autoimmune diseases
This trial tests a new cell therapy, FT819, for people with certain autoimmune diseases like lupus, vasculitis, myositis, or scleroderma that haven't improved with at least two previous treatments. The goal is to see if it can help control the disease.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 12–70 - 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.
Jackson, TennesseeAges 12–100 - NCT06613360RecruitingPhase 1
Study of CLN-978 for people with systemic lupus erythematosus
This trial tests an experimental drug called CLN-978, given as a shot under the skin, that targets a protein on certain immune cells (B cells) to try to calm overactive immune activity in lupus. The goal is to see if it can reduce lupus symptoms for people whose disease has not been controlled by other treatments.
Memphis, TennesseeAges 18–70 - NCT06875960RecruitingPhase 4
Continuing deucravacitinib for people with lupus
This study lets people who have already finished a previous trial of deucravacitinib continue taking the medicine. It is for adults with lupus, including skin-only forms of the disease, to see if long-term treatment remains safe and helpful.
Jackson, TennesseeAges 18–75 - NCT07225543RecruitingPhase 2
Study of 2-HOBA for women with lupus
This trial tests whether a natural compound called 2-HOBA can help women with lupus who also have mildly high blood pressure. It aims to improve blood vessel health and reduce inflammation.

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.
