This trial tests a treatment where your own immune cells are modified to attack and destroy lupus-causing B cells. It's for people with lupus (SLE) that hasn't improved with standard treatments.
Beijing, Beijing MunicipalityAges 3–65 - NCT06593041Recruiting
Platelets in lupus and other autoimmune diseases
This study looks at how platelets (small blood cells that help with clotting) might play a role in autoimmune diseases like lupus. By understanding this, researchers hope to find new ways to treat these conditions.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for systemic lupus erythematosus?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 268 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.
