Brief summary

The primary objectives of this trial are to evaluate the safety and tolerability and to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended Phase 2 dose of FT839 with or without rituximab and/or background therapy and/or conditioning therapy.

Detailed description

This is a multicenter, Phase 1/2, open-label trial designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), anti-B-cell activity, and clinical activity of FT839 in participants with moderate-to-severe ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV), idiopathic inflammatory myositis (IIM), rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and systemic sclerosis (SSc). Participants will receive FT839 as monotherapy or in combination with rituximab, with or without conditioning therapy and/or stable background therapy. Participants will be enrolled in 2 stages during the Phase 1 portion of the trial: a dose-escalation stage and a dose-expansion stage. In the dose-escalation stage, safety and tolerability will be assessed to define the MTD (or through the maximum assessed dose \[MAD\] in the absence of dose-limiting toxicities \[DLTs\] defining the MTD). The DLT evaluation period will extend from Day 1 through Day 29. Participants will be followed during the post-treatment follow-up period for up to 2 years after the first dose of FT839, followed by long-term-follow-up for safety and survival for up to 15 years after the first dose of FT839. In the dose-expansion stage, participants will be enrolled into disease-specific cohorts to further evaluate the safety and activity of FT839. Following completion of the Phase 1 portion, the Phase 2 portion of the trial will further evaluate the efficacy of FT839 within each disease cohort.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Phase 1: Incidence of Dose-limiting Toxicity, Adverse Events, and Serious Adverse EventsFrom enrollment to the end of the post-treatment follow-up at 2 yearsIncidence and severity of dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT)s, adverse event (AE)s, and serious adverse event (SAE)s
Phase 2: Change from baseline in Birmingham Vasculitis Activity ScoreFrom enrollment to the end of the post-treatment follow-up at 2 yearsBirmingham Vasculitis Activity Score (BVAS) will be measured to evaluate the efficacy of FT839 in AAV. The BVAS score ranges from 0 to 63, with lower scores indicating better outcomes.
Phase 2: Change from baseline in Manual muscle testing-8From enrollment to the end of the post-treatment follow-up at 2 yearsManual muscle testing-8 (MMT-8) will be measured to evaluate the efficacy of FT839 in IIM. The MMT-8 score ranges from 0 to 150, with higher scores indicating better outcomes.
Phase 2: Change from baseline in Disease Activity Score using 28 joint counts and C-reactive protein (a composite measure)From enrollment to the end of the post-treatment follow-up at 2 yearsDisease Activity Score using 28 joint counts and C-reactive protein (DAS28-CRP) will be measured to evaluate the efficacy of FT839 in RA. The validated composite measure DAS28-CRP score ranges from 0.0 to 9.4, with lower scores indicating better outcomes.
Phase 2: Change from baseline in SLE Disease Activity Index 2000From enrollment to the end of the post-treatment follow-up at 2 yearsSLE Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score will be measured to evaluate the efficacy of FT839 in SLE. The SLEDAI-2K score ranges from 0 to 105, with lower scores indicating better outcomes.
Phase 2: Change from baseline in Modified Rodnan skin scoreFrom enrollment to the end of the post-treatment follow-up at 2 yearsModified Rodnan skin (mRSS) score will be measured to evaluate the efficacy of FT839 in SSc. The mRSS score ranges from 0 to 51, with lower scores indicating better outcomes.

Phase 2: Incidence of AEs and SAEsFrom enrollment to the end of the post-treatment follow-up at 2 yearsIncidence and severity of AEs and SAEs
Phase 2: Cmax of FT839 in peripheral bloodFrom enrollment to the end of the post-treatment follow-up at 2 yearsPK of FT839 in peripheral blood including but not limited to Cmax will be estimated based on observed plasma concentration-time data
