Immune cell reprogramming offers hope for stubborn arthritis and Sjogren's

NCT ID NCT07048197

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This early-phase study tests a personalized cell therapy (rapcabtagene autoleucel) in 27 adults with difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis or severe Sjogren's disease. The treatment uses a patient's own immune cells, modified to target and calm the overactive immune system. The main goal is to check safety and how the cells behave in the body, with early signs of effectiveness also being explored.
