Recruiting PHASE1, PHASE2 Pemphigus Vulgaris

Tests treatment safety and results for Pemphigus Vulgaris

Official title A Phase 1/2, Open-label, Safety and Dosing Study of Autologous CART Cells (Desmoglein 3 Chimeric Autoantibody Receptor T Cells [DSG3-CAART] or CD19-specific Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells [CABA-201]) in Subjects With Active, Pemphigus Vulgaris (RESET-PV)

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04422912

What this study is testing

What is DSG3-CAART?

DSG3-CAART is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for pemphigus vulgaris.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
A phase 1/2, open-label, safety and dosing study of autologous CART cells (desmoglein 3 chimeric autoantibody receptor T cells [DSG3-CAART] or CD19-specific Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cells [CABA-201]) in subjects with active, pemphigus vulgaris

Who can take part

Ages 18 and older

You may be able to join if

  • for DSG3-CAART: Closed to enrollment
  • Confirmed diagnosis of mPV by prior or screening biopsy and prior positive anti- DSG3 antibody ELISA
  • mPV inadequately managed by at least one standard immunosuppressive therapies
  • Active mPV at screening
  • Anti-DSG3 antibody ELISA positive at screening for CABA-201 sub-study: Open to enrollment

You likely can't join if

  • Active cutaneous lesions associated with PV that indicates mucocutaneous rather than mucosal-dominant disease
  • Rituximab in last 12 months unless PV symptoms have recently worsened or anti-DSG3 antibody titers have recently increased
  • Prednisone \> 0.25mg/kg/day
  • Other autoimmune disorder requiring immunosuppressive therapies
  • Investigational treatment in last 3 months Exclusion Criteria for CABA-201 sub-study
  • Have paraneoplastic pemphigus or active malignancy (not including non-melanoma skin cancer) or malignancy diagnosed within the previous 5 years
