First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early trial tests whether a single infusion of anti-CD19 CAR T-cells can improve skin thickening and other symptoms in 6 adults with severe, treatment-resistant systemic sclerosis. Participants receive chemotherapy before the infusion and are monitored for 24 months. The study focuses on safety and how the cells behave in the body.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

Anti-CD19 CAR T-cells (a type of immune cell therapy)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with severe scleroderma that hasn't responded to other drugs.

What could go wrong

This is a very early, small trial with only 6 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. CAR T-cell therapy can cause serious side effects like cytokine release syndrome.
