Experimental cell therapy takes on lupus and other autoimmune diseases

NCT ID NCT07123519

First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-stage trial is testing a new treatment called YTS109 for people with severe autoimmune diseases like lupus and Sjogren's syndrome that have come back or not responded to standard care. About 18 adults will receive a single infusion of these specially engineered immune cells. The main goal is to check if the treatment is safe, while also looking for signs that it might help control the disease.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

YTS109 cells (a type of immune cell therapy)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with severe autoimmune diseases that haven't responded to other therapies.

What could go wrong

This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 18 participants, so it's primarily testing safety. The treatment may not work, and there could be serious side effects like immune reactions or infections.
