Lupus patients who failed multiple drugs under observation in new study
NCT ID NCT07175285
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Sep 04, 2026 · Updated 4 times
Summary
This study is observing 223 people with active lupus (including kidney inflammation) who haven't gotten better with steroids and at least two immunosuppressants. Researchers want to see how well today's standard treatments work for these tough cases. The goal is to measure how many patients reach remission or low disease activity after 6 months.
