Question

What is the success rate of stem cell therapy for Lupus (SLE)?

Clinical improvement (reduced inflammation, stable organ function) is reported in approximately 65–70% of treated cohorts in early trials. However, 'success' varies by metric—some patients show antibody titre reduction, others primarily symptomatic relief. Remission induction (complete drug-free resolution) remains rare; most benefit takes the form of reduced relapse frequency or lower maintenance steroid doses over 12–24 months.

What the evidence shows for Lupus (SLE)

Registered trial data spans phase I safety through phase II efficacy work across global centres. Representative studies report disease activity index improvements in 60–75% of infused cohorts over 12 months, with renal histology stabilisation in 40–55% of lupus nephritis cases. Cytokine profiling shows durable reduction in pro-inflammatory markers (TNF-α, IL-6) persisting 6–9 months post-infusion. No completed phase III pivotal trial has yet reported, making this investigational rather than standard-of-care.
