Could stem cells plus supercharged immune cells tame autoimmune disease?
NCT ID NCT06435897
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 28, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-phase study tests whether combining mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) with specially engineered immune cells (CAR-T cells) is safe and can help control autoimmune diseases. About 30 adults with established autoimmune conditions will receive the treatment and be monitored for side effects and symptom changes. The goal is to see if this combination can reduce or stabilize disease activity, not to cure the condition.
