NCT ID NCT05029336

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 06, 2026 · Updated 30 times

Summary

This study tests a stem cell transplant to 'reset' the immune system in children and young adults (ages 8–25) with life-threatening lupus or scleroderma that hasn't responded to standard treatments. The approach uses high-dose therapy to wipe out faulty immune cells, then infuses the patient's own stem cells to rebuild a healthy immune system. The main goal is to see if this can stop the disease from progressing for at least two years.
