Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To investigate the safety and efficacy of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell transplantation in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus nephritis (LN).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem autoimmune disease. Lupus nephritis (LN) is one of the most serious complications of SLE. The current clinical treatments of LN mainly include steroids and immunosuppressive drugs, but drug side effects are obvious.
