Resetting the Immune System

The cell therapy built for blood cancer was aimed at lupus — wiping the B-cell compartment clean and letting it regrow naive — and the first patients describe something autoimmune medicine rarely says aloud: drug-free remission.

Inside this volume

Fifty first-person accounts come from the trial frontier: lupus, myositis and scleroderma patients through apheresis and lymphodepletion, the CRS-watch hospital weeks, and then the afters that stunned their rheumatologists — antibodies gone, medications stopped one by one, kidneys and skin quiet across years of follow-up. Writers include the immune-suppressed months of B-cell absence, infections managed, the trial lotteries and eligibility heartbreaks, and clinicians' caution stitched through every remarkable chapter.

Who it's for

For anyone with severe autoimmune disease watching this frontier, exploring trial eligibility, or holding hope for the word remission without the word maintenance.
