Drug-free remission of lupus by resetting the autoimmune response.

What “cured” would have to mean

Sustained remission off all immunosuppression and steroids, with no organ damage accrual, over long follow-up.

This is the bar the work aims at. Nothing on this page claims it has been reached.

Readiness gates

  • PASSG1 Program status is current. 0 overdue status entries and 0 unflagged inactive mentions in the rheumatology dossier.
  • PASSG2 At least 10 verified sources. 10 of 10 seed papers resolved in PubMed.
  • PASSG3 Trials mapped to tracks. 1130 of 1198 trials (94.3%) fall in a track (needs 90%); 24.6% sit only in the not-yet-classified track (needs 30% or less).
  • PASSG4 Outcome ladder defined. 6 rungs, 4 counted automatically from registered outcomes.
  • PASSG5 Contribution work exists. 211 completed trials past 18 months with no posted results (results-gap queue).
  • PASSG6 Copy is honest. No cure claims and no em dashes in module text.

Research tracks

Every indexed trial is matched to tracks by its registered text. A trial can sit in several tracks; 295 (24.6%) are not yet classified.

Outcome ladder

Research categories from first signal to the cure bar. Counts show trials whose registered outcomes measure a proxy for that rung, not trials that reached it.

  1. 1Disease activity reduced. Lower activity on ongoing therapy.476 measuring
  2. 2Low disease activity. Lupus low disease activity state reached.103 measuring
  3. 3Organ response. Complete renal or organ response.118 measuring
  4. 4Drug-free remission. Remission after stopping immunosuppression.135 measuring
  5. 5Durable remission candidate. Drug-free remission without damage accrual sustained over long documented follow-up with acceptable safety.not counted
  6. 6Biological cure. Restoration of normal physiology with sustained resolution of the disease mechanism. Requires especially rigorous evidence; nothing here claims it.not counted

Verified program status

  • TRIAL TERMINATED KYSA-1 (KYV-101 CD19 CAR-T, lupus nephritis)

    The KYSA-1 study (NCT05938725) is terminated by sponsor decision. It was previously cited here as a generic CD19 basket study; citations now point to the published case series instead.
