Brief summary

This is a Phase 1b/2, single-arm, open-label, multi-center, clinical study of AZD0120, a CD19/BCMA dual CAR T cell therapy, to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy in adult participants with refractory Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

Detailed description

The study will enrol adult participants with refractory Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) The study will be run in 2 parts; First part is Phase 1b during which the study aims to assess safety and tolerability of AZD0120 in patients in refractory SLE cohorts Second part is Phase 2, during which the study aims to assess safety, tolerability and efficacy of the selected dose, following Phase 1b completion, in patients with refractory SLE
