Immune cell attack on lupus: first human trial launches
NCT ID NCT07358988
First seen Jan 24, 2026 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 12 times
Summary
This early-stage trial tests a new treatment called KN5501 for adults with moderate to severe lupus that hasn't responded to standard therapies. The treatment uses specially engineered immune cells (CAR-NK cells) to target and destroy faulty B cells that drive the disease. The main goals are to check safety, find the best dose, and see if it can lower lupus activity. About 36 participants will receive the cell infusion after a short chemotherapy prep and be followed closely for several months.
