Stem cell therapy for lupus patients
Treatments studied
Part of Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This trial tests whether a type of stem cell from umbilical cords can help people with systemic lupus erythematosus (an autoimmune disease). It aims to find a new way to reduce lupus symptoms and improve quality of life.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have been diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (lupus) by your doctor.
- You have had a positive blood test for certain lupus markers (like ANA, anti-dsDNA, or anti-Sm).
- You agree to avoid pregnancy or fathering a child for at least 12 months after treatment and use effective birth control.
- You do not have active serious infections, cancer, or certain other health problems that would make the trial unsafe.

This study tests whether a special type of stem cell treatment (called UC-MSC) can help calm lupus when standard medicines aren't enough. It's for people with active lupus who have tried other non-steroid medications.
This trial tests a new cell therapy (CT1190B) for people with moderate to severe lupus or systemic sclerosis that has not responded to standard treatments. The therapy aims to calm the overactive immune system causing these autoimmune diseases.
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.
This trial tests a new immune cell therapy (CAR NK cells) for people with moderate to severe lupus that hasn't responded well to standard treatments. The therapy targets a protein called CD19 on certain immune cells to calm the overactive immune system.
This clinical trial is testing if infusions of special stem cells (called mesenchymal stem cells) can help people with certain autoimmune diseases where standard treatments have not worked well enough. It is an early-phase study in Pakistan for adults (and some children for one condition) with rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, systemic sclerosis, ankylosing spondylitis, or dermatomyositis/polymyositis.
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.
