Lupus drug trial aims for remission without daily pills
NCT ID NCT07598396
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 21, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This study tests a drug called mosunetuzumab in 30 people with lupus, a disease where the immune system attacks the body. The goal is to see if the drug can put lupus into remission so that participants can stop most lupus medications for at least 6 months. However, some people may still need low-dose steroids or other treatments long-term, so this is not a cure.
