Lupus Clinical Trials and Research

Our physician scientists are dedicated to investigating the causes of lupus and other autoimmune diseases, as well as identifying new treatments. If you are interested in enrolling in our Autoimmune Disease Registry and Repository or participating in one of our research studies, contact our research coordinator at 617.638.5965.

We also conduct clinical research by collaborating with pharmaceutical companies to develop advanced therapies for lupus and other autoimmune diseases. We participate in industry sponsored clinical trials, and provide our patients with the opportunity to receive novel therapies for lupus and lupus nephritis, such as CAR-T therapy. Speak to your BMC provider about enrolling in a clinical trial to receive one of these innovative new treatments.
