Study of rare autoimmune diseases with blood and medical samples
This trial collects clinical and lab information (like blood and medical history) from people with rare autoimmune diseases, especially when symptoms are unusual. It aims to better understand what causes these illnesses and how newer treatments may help.
ToulouseAges 6–99 - NCT06828042RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
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 - NCT03673748RecruitingPhase 2
Mesenchymal stem cell treatment for lupus kidney inflammation
This trial tests whether donated (allogeneic) stem cells can improve lupus nephritis, a kidney complication of lupus. It is for adults whose lupus kidney disease has not responded well to standard treatments or has come back, and it requires signs of active disease.
Valladolid, ValladolidAges 18 years+ - NCT01266915Recruiting
Cutaneous lupus skin disease registry study
This study builds a registry (a protected medical record) of people with cutaneous lupus and/or systemic lupus that affects the skin. It gathers skin exam information and may include a skin biopsy and blood tests to better understand these conditions.
Dallas, TexasAges 18 years+ - NCT07150000Recruiting
Rheumatic disease research study for patients and healthy volunteers
This study is for people with certain rheumatic conditions (like arthritis, lupus, or vasculitis) and for healthy volunteers. It aims to learn more about these diseases and improve how they are treated.
Bonn, North Rhine-WestphaliaAges 18 years+ - NCT07278609Recruiting
Safer medication use for older adults with rheumatic conditions
This study tests a program to help doctors choose safer medications for people aged 60 and older who have arthritis or other rheumatic conditions. It aims to reduce the use of potentially harmful drugs and improve overall medication safety.
Montreal, QuebecAges 60 years+ - NCT07188285Enrolling by invitation
Immune system study for active autoimmune diseases
This study uses a blood test called mass spectrometry to look at the immune system in people with active autoimmune diseases. It aims to find patterns that could help doctors better understand and treat these conditions.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 18 years+ - NCT05097365Enrolling by invitation
Testing a methyl-donor supplement to study lupus metabolism
This study looks at whether a “methyl-donor” nutrient supplement changes metabolism (methylation) in people with lupus who are also in the childbearing age range and have low-to-moderate disease activity. It may help researchers understand why lupus acts differently in some people and how diet-related pathways could affect symptoms.
São PauloAges 18–45 - NCT07305116RecruitingPhase 1
CAR T-cell therapy for autoimmune diseases
This trial tests a new immune therapy called CAR T-cells that target two proteins (CD19 and BCMA) to treat autoimmune diseases like lupus, nephrotic syndrome, and others. It is for people whose standard treatments have not worked well enough.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 3 years+ - NCT07586267RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-T cell therapy for autoimmune blood diseases
This early-stage trial tests a new type of cell therapy (CAR-T cells) designed to treat severe autoimmune diseases where the immune system attacks the body's own organs. The therapy targets specific immune cells (B cells) that may be causing the disease. It may help patients who haven't improved with standard treatments or can't tolerate them.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 3 years+ - NCT07507201RecruitingEarly Phase 1
Car-T cells for autoimmune diseases like lupus
This trial tests whether specially-engineered immune cells (CAR-T cells) can help people with certain autoimmune diseases that haven't gotten better with standard treatments. The cells are designed to target and remove faulty B cells that are causing the immune system to attack the body.
Hangzhou, ZhejiangAges 3 years+ - NCT07455578RecruitingPhase 1
Study of S-4321 for people with autoimmune or immune diseases
This trial tests a new medicine, S-4321, for people with various autoimmune conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, eczema, or lupus. It aims to see if the drug is safe and can help control the overactive immune system.
Charlestown, New South WalesAges 18–75 - NCT06792799RecruitingEarly Phase 1
CAR-NK cells for B-cell autoimmune diseases
This early phase trial tests a new treatment made from immune cells (CAR-NK cells) that target and destroy overactive B cells. It may help people with lupus, certain kidney diseases, or nephrotic syndrome that hasn't responded to standard therapies.

COVID-19 booster and flu vaccine timing for people with weak immune systems
This study tests the best timing for a COVID-19 booster and flu shot in people with weakened immune systems, such as organ transplant recipients, people living with HIV, or those with certain autoimmune conditions. It aims to help patients get better protection from both vaccines.
Montreal, QuebecAges 18 years+ - NCT06426316Recruiting
Immune cells and migraines study
This study looks at how certain immune cells and inflammatory chemicals relate to migraines. If you have migraines or an autoimmune condition (like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or Crohn's disease), you may be able to participate. The goal is to understand what causes migraines.

Single-dose safety study of SHR-7012 in healthy adults
This study tests a single dose of a new drug called SHR-7012 in healthy volunteers to check if it is safe and how the body handles it. It is a first-in-human trial, so participants will be closely monitored.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for systemic lupus erythematosus?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 262 recruiting systemic lupus erythematosus 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 systemic lupus erythematosus 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 systemic lupus erythematosus 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.
