New drug cevostamab enters early human testing for lupus

NCT ID NCT07629583

First seen Jun 14, 2026

Summary

This early-stage trial will test the safety and tolerability of a new drug, cevostamab, in 46 people with systemic lupus erythematosus, some of whom also have active lupus nephritis. The drug is given intravenously, and researchers will monitor side effects and how the drug moves through the body. This is a first step to see if cevostamab might help control lupus.
