This phase 2 trial investigates whether a personalized course of peginterferon alfa-2a can control membranous nephropathy, an autoimmune kidney disease. The treatment targets the Th17 inflammatory pathway, which is linked to a higher risk of relapse. Participants receive injectio…

This early study tested a new cell therapy called LUCAR-G79 in just 3 adults with severe autoimmune diseases that did not respond to standard treatments. The therapy uses specially engineered immune cells to target and potentially calm the overactive immune system. The main goals…

This study compared two drugs, obinutuzumab and rituximab, for treating a rare autoimmune disease that inflames blood vessels (ANCA-associated vasculitis). The goal was to see if obinutuzumab could help more patients achieve remission and clear disease markers. However, the trial…

This study tested whether hydroxychloroquine, a drug used for lupus and arthritis, could help control ANCA vasculitis—a group of autoimmune diseases that cause blood vessel inflammation. Adults with mild disease activity were randomly assigned to receive hydroxychloroquine or a p…

This study tested a drug called OMS721 in 31 people with certain kidney diseases, including IgA nephropathy and lupus nephritis. The main goal was to check if the drug is safe and if it reduces protein in the urine, a sign of kidney damage. The study was stopped early, so results…

This early-stage study tested a new drug called VB119 in 6 adults with primary membranous nephropathy, a kidney disease. The main goal was to check safety and how the body handles the drug, not to cure the disease. The study was terminated early, so results are limited.

This study tested a drug called voclosporin in teenagers with lupus nephritis, a kidney disease caused by lupus. The goal was to see if it could improve kidney function better than a placebo. Only 9 teens took part before the study was stopped early, so we don't have clear answer…

This study looked at the long-term safety of the drug voclosporin in adolescents and children with lupus nephritis, a kidney disease caused by lupus. Participants took voclosporin capsules twice daily along with standard medications. The trial was terminated early and only enroll…

This early-phase trial tested a single infusion of IMPT-514, a personalized CAR T cell therapy, in 3 adults with severe lupus, vasculitis, or inflammatory myopathy that did not respond to standard treatments. The goal was to check safety and see if the therapy could reset the imm…

This Phase 2 study tested the drug ravulizumab (Ultomiris) in 123 adults with lupus nephritis or IgA nephropathy, two conditions that cause kidney inflammation. Participants received either ravulizumab or a placebo alongside standard care. The study aimed to see if the drug could…

This study looked at whether adding cyclosporine to rituximab is more effective than rituximab alone for treating idiopathic membranous nephropathy, a kidney disease that causes protein leakage. Only 12 adults with severe proteinuria took part before the study ended early. The go…

This study tested a drug called OMS721 for people with IgA nephropathy, a kidney disease that can lead to kidney failure. The goal was to see if the drug could reduce protein in the urine, a sign of kidney damage. The trial was stopped early, so results are limited.

This study tested a drug called zetomipzomib for people with active lupus nephritis, a kidney disease caused by lupus. The goal was to see if the drug could improve kidney function better than a placebo over 52 weeks. The trial was terminated early, so results are limited. Partic…

This study tested a drug called ALXN2050 in people with kidney inflammation caused by lupus (lupus nephritis) or IgA nephropathy. The goal was to see if it could reduce protein in the urine, a sign of kidney damage. About 100 adults were planned to take the drug or a placebo alon…

This study looked at whether a specific type of immune cell (CD5+ regulatory B cells) can predict relapse risk in people with ANCA vasculitis, a rare autoimmune disease that damages blood vessels. Researchers aimed to see if patients with normal levels of these cells after initia…
