Experimental stem cell therapy tested for Tough-to-Treat lupus
NCT ID NCT02633163
Summary
This study tested whether stem cells from umbilical cords could help adults with severe lupus that doesn't respond well to standard treatments. Researchers compared patients who received a single stem cell infusion plus standard care against those who received a placebo infusion plus standard care. The goal was to see if the stem cells could better control lupus disease activity and reduce symptoms over 24 weeks.
