First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 12, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This early-phase study tests whether a special immune therapy called CAR-T can safely treat a severe type of kidney disease that hasn't responded to standard treatments. Five adults with confirmed membranous nephropathy will receive a single infusion of their own re-engineered immune cells. The main goal is to check for serious side effects over the first few months, with a year of follow-up to see if kidney function improves.
