Autologous stem-cell transplantation in refractory autoimmune diseases after

Published by National Institutes of Health | U.S. Department of Health & Human Services | Catalog Last Checked: July 31, 2026 at 09:45 PM | Dataset Last Updated: September 06, 2025
Autoimmune diseases that are resistant to conventional treatment cause severe morbidity and even mortality. In the present study we demonstrate that complete remissions can be achieved in refractory polychondritis and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), even at advanced stage, with the use of autologous stem-cell transplantation (SCT). Remissions persisted after reconstitution of the immune system. In the treatment of advanced systemic sclerosis (SSc), stable disease may be achieved with autologous SCT.
