First seen Jan 05, 2026 · Last updated Apr 30, 2026 · Updated 19 times

Summary

This early-stage trial tests whether a patient's own immune cells, modified to target CD19, can safely treat severe systemic sclerosis (scleroderma) that hasn't responded to standard drugs. About 12 children and adults will receive the CAR-T infusion and be monitored for changes in skin tightness and disease activity over 6 months. The goal is to control the disease, not cure it, since ongoing management may still be needed.
