CAR-T cells take on autoimmune diseases: new hope for RA and Sjögren's patients

NCT ID NCT07048197

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 11, 2026 · Updated 26 times

Summary

This early-phase trial tests a personalized cell therapy called rapcabtagene autoleucel in 27 adults with severe rheumatoid arthritis or Sjögren's disease that hasn't improved with standard treatments. The therapy uses a patient's own immune cells, modified to target and calm the overactive immune system. The main goal is to check safety and how long the cells last in the body, with early signs of effectiveness also being explored.
