This early-stage trial is testing a new biologic drug called CC312 in just 6 adults with lupus, myositis, or scleroderma that has not responded to standard treatments. The main goal is to check safety and find the right dose, not yet to prove it works. Participants receive multip…

This early-stage study tests an injection called GT719 in 30 people with moderate to severe autoimmune diseases like lupus that haven't responded to standard treatments. The main goal is to check safety and find the right dose, while also looking at whether it helps control disea…

This early-phase study tests a new treatment called RD06-05, which uses a patient's own immune cells modified to target and reset the immune system in autoimmune diseases like lupus, multiple sclerosis, and vasculitis. The goal is to check safety and how well the body tolerates i…

This early-stage study tests a new treatment called RXIM002 for people with severe autoimmune diseases that haven't responded to standard therapies. The treatment uses a special RNA molecule to create immune cells that target and destroy faulty B cells, which are causing the dise…

This early-stage study is testing a new type of cell therapy (called QT-019C) in 12 adults with severe autoimmune diseases like lupus and scleroderma that have not responded to standard treatments. The therapy uses specially engineered immune cells from a healthy donor to target …

This early-phase trial tests a new treatment called GC012F, which uses a patient's own immune cells (CAR-T cells) to target and attack the cause of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy, a group of rare muscle diseases. The study will enroll 12 adults whose disease has not responded t…
