New lupus shot aims to tame flares in phase 2 trial
NCT ID NCT07447986
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Sep 18, 2026 · Updated 5 times
Summary
This phase 2 trial tests a new drug called SG301, given as a shot under the skin, for people with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). About 120 participants whose lupus is not well controlled by standard treatments will receive either SG301 or a placebo over several months. The goal is to see if SG301 can reduce disease activity and improve symptoms without causing serious side effects.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- SG301 (a biologic drug given as a shot under the skin)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a new treatment option to help control lupus disease activity and reduce flares.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early phase 2 trial with only 120 people, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not work better than placebo, and side effects are still being studied.

Participants must be diagnosed with SLE in accordance with the 2019 European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)/American College of Rheumatism (ACR) SLE classification criteria and have inadequate response to standard treatment, intolerance to standard treatment, or recurrent disease. 3. SLEDAI-2K score ≥ 8 points, with clinical features corresponding to a SLEDAI-2K score ≥ 4 points. 4. Positive serological test results for autoantibodies, defined as antinuclear antibody (ANA) positivity and/or anti-double-stranded DNA (anti-dsDNA) antibody positivity. 5. Body weight ≥ 35 kg. 6. Must have received standard treatment for at least 8 weeks before the first dose and maintained a stable dose of the treatment unchanged for at least 4 weeks before the first dose. 7. Participants of childbearing potential or whose partners are of childbearing potential must agree to use effective contraceptive measures throughout the entire study period and within 6 months after the last dose. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Previous use of CD38 or monoclonal antibodies targeting CD38. 2. Active central nervous system (CNS) disease within 2 months before the first dose, or CNS disease that the investigator believes may require treatment with prohibited therapies specified in the protocol. 3. Diagnosis of mixed connective tissue disease or a history of any overlap syndrome between SLE and systemic sclerosis. 4. Laboratory abnormalities. 5. Current acute or chronic infection meeting any of the following criteria. 6. Participation in any other clinical trial within 4 weeks before the first dose (excluding participants who provided informed consent but did not receive trial treatment, or only received placebo). 7. Use of any targeted T or B lymphocyte drugs (e.g., rituximab) within 3 months before the first dose. 8. Receipt of any B cell-depleting drugs (such as belimumab, telitacicept) within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) before the first dose. 9. Receipt of JAK inhibitor treatment within 2 weeks before the first dose. 10. Presence of severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. 11. Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection. 12. Presence of HIV infection, active hepatitis B, or hepatitis C. 13. Known history of active syphilis. 14.
