CAR-T cell therapy for hard-to-treat pemphigus
Part of Immune system & allergy, Skin clinical trials.
This study tests a new type of immune therapy called CAR-T cells, made from your own blood cells, to treat severe pemphigus vulgaris that hasn't responded to standard treatments like steroids and rituximab. The goal is to see if this treatment can control the disease and reduce the need for ongoing medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be between 18 and 70 years old.
- You must have moderate-to-severe pemphigus vulgaris that hasn't gotten better after at least 6 months of steroids and rituximab therapy.
- You need to have active disease symptoms like new blisters or sores, or high antibody levels, or you can't lower your steroid dose below 20 mg/day.
- Your heart, lungs, kidneys, liver, and blood counts must be working well enough for this treatment.
- You must be willing to use effective birth control during the study and for 12 months after treatment.

This Phase 1/2 trial tests the safety and dosing of genetically modified immune cells made from your own blood (autologous CAR T or related cells) for active pemphigus vulgaris. It may help control disease that is not adequately managed with standard medicines.
This trial tests a new type of cell therapy (CAR-T cells) that targets two proteins on immune cells (CD19 and BCMA) to treat lupus that hasn't responded to standard treatments. It may help people with moderate to severe lupus by reducing disease activity without ongoing medication.
This trial tests a personalized cell therapy (CAR-T cells that target CD19 and BCMA proteins) for people with lupus, Sjogren's, scleroderma, dermatomyositis, antisynthetase syndrome, immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy, rheumatoid arthritis, or ANCA-associated vasculitis that has not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if this therapy can reduce disease activity.
This trial tests a new treatment using your own immune cells (called CAR-T cells) designed to target and attack cells that cause autoimmune diseases. It is for people with lupus, Sjögren's syndrome, inflammatory myopathy, scleroderma, Behcet's disease, ANCA-associated vasculitis, IgG4-related disease, antiphospholipid syndrome, or thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura who have not improved with standard therapies.
This study tests a new type of cell therapy called CAR-T cells that target three proteins (CD19, CD22, BCMA) to treat people with autoimmune diseases that have not responded to standard treatments. The goal is to see if it can reset the immune system and reduce disease activity.
This trial tests a new CAR-T cell therapy (C-CAR168) for people with several autoimmune diseases that have not responded to standard treatments. It aims to see if this therapy can control the disease when other medicines have failed.
