New lupus drug candidate enters first human tests
NCT ID NCT07011043
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This early-stage trial is testing a new drug called budoprutug (TNT119) in 30 adults with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The main goal is to check the drug's safety and how the body processes it. Participants will receive a single dose of the drug by IV, and researchers will monitor them for side effects and measure drug levels in the blood.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- budoprutug (TNT119)
- What this could lead to
- If this drug is safe and shows promise, it could lead to a new treatment option for people with active lupus who haven't responded well to other therapies.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very early Phase 1 trial with only 30 participants, focused mainly on safety. It is too small and early to know if the drug will effectively treat lupus or have serious side effects.
