Three lupus patients in the UK have received ‘groundbreaking’ new treatment which could end the need for lifelong drugs.
A new NHS trial is assessing the effectiveness of CAR T-cell therapy – previously only used on cancer patients – as a one-off treatment against the most serious form of lupus.
The auto-immune disease can cause potentially fatal damage to the heart, lungs, brain and kidneys.
