Brief summary

Patients with refractory autoimmune diseases often have limited treatment options and ongoing disease activity despite standard therapies. CRT-402 is an in vivo Cluster of differentiation 19 (CD19)-targeted CAR-T cell therapy designed to deplete CD19-positive B cells and promote immune system reset. This study evaluates the safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy, pharmacodynamics (PD), and pharmacokinetics (PK) of CRT-402 in participants with active refractory systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis (SSc), and idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM).

Detailed description

This is a multicenter, open-label, Phase 1/2, first-in-human, dose escalation and expansion study designed to assess the safety and tolerability, as well as define the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of CRT-402 in participants with refractory autoimmune disease.

Inclusion criteria

* Age 18 years or older. * Diagnosis of active, refractory systemic lupus erythematosus, systemic sclerosis, or idiopathic inflammatory myopathy meeting established classification criteria, with inadequate response or intolerance to standard therapy. * Adequate renal, hepatic, cardiac, and pulmonary function per protocol-defined criteria. * Participants of reproductive potential must agree to use protocol-specified contraception during the study and for a defined period after dosing. * Females of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test before treatment. * Must be willing and able to attend study visits and follow all study requirements.

Exclusion criteria

* Clinical suitability for a less burdensome and/or approved therapeutic approach, as judged by the Investigator, * Any medical condition or laboratory abnormality that, in the Investigator's judgment, would place the participant at unacceptable risk or confound interpretation of study data, * Prior Cluster of differentiation 19 (CD19)-directed, cell, or gene therapy, * History of bone marrow/ hematopoietic stem cell or solid organ transplantation, * Active or inadequately treated infection, including Human immunodeficiency (HIV), hepatitis B or C, or tuberculosis, * Pregnancy or lactation.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), including serious adverse events (SAEs), and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs).Up to 52 weeksAdverse events (AEs) are any new or worsening medical problems that occur after starting the study treatment.
Incidence and severity of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS).Up to 52 weekscytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome ICANS will be graded using standard consensus criteria.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Assess emergence of anti-drug antibodies (ADAs)Up to 52 weeksSerum for anti-drug antibody analysis will be collected at designated visits indicated in the Schedule of Assessments (SOA). Samples will be collected using standard site practices.
