NCT ID NCT06991114

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This phase 2 trial tests a therapy called AlloNK, made from donor cord blood immune cells, combined with the drug rituximab. It aims to see if this combination is safe and can help people with severe forms of rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's disease, myositis, or scleroderma that haven't responded to other treatments. About 90 participants will receive the therapy in a step-by-step dosing plan.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

AlloNK (a donor immune cell therapy) combined with rituximab

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new treatment option for people with hard-to-treat autoimmune diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or scleroderma.

What could go wrong

This is an early phase 2 trial with only 90 people, so results may not apply widely. The therapy involves strong immune suppression, which carries risks of infection and other side effects.
