About This Trial

The main objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of inebilizumab in adult participants with active and refractory systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with nephritis (Subprotocol A) and to assess the safety and tolerability of subcutaneous (SC) blinatumomab in adult participants with active and refractory SLE with and without nephritis (Subprotocol B Part A) and in adult participants with active refractory rheumatoid arthritis (RA) (Subprotocol C Part A). The trial will also assess the efficacy of SC blinatumomab in adult participants with active and refractory SLE with and without nephritis (Subprotocol B Part B and Subprotocol C Part B).

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 2 trials evaluate whether a treatment actually works against Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and continue monitoring side effects. Phase 2 enrolls larger groups (typically 100–300 patients) and produces the first real efficacy signal. A successful Phase 2 readout is what unlocks the much larger Phase 3 confirmatory trials needed for FDA approval.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

Target enrollment of 220 participants puts this in the typical range for a Phase 2-style efficacy study or a moderate Phase 3 trial in a focused Systemic Lupus Erythematosus subpopulation. At this scale, the study has enough statistical power to detect a clear treatment effect but is not the largest cohort in the field.

Who can participate in NCT06570798?

Eligibility for this trial depends on the specific inclusion and exclusion criteria set by the sponsor. The plain-English summary above translates the most important criteria into accessible language; the official clinical text is preserved in the collapsible section underneath. Whether you fit any specific trial is a medical decision your doctor needs to confirm — bring the trial information to your treating physician for a full review against your medical history.

How do I contact the trial site for NCT06570798?

Contact information registered with ClinicalTrials.gov is shown in the sidebar of this page. Before reaching out, confirm with your treating physician that this trial is appropriate for your situation. The trial site will then walk you through the screening process to determine final eligibility.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
