Recruiting EARLY_PHASE1 Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

Tests treatment safety and results for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

Official title Safety Study of CC312 in Autoimmune Disease Patients

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06888960

What this study is testing

What is CC312?

CC312 is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for systemic lupus erythematosus (sle).

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
This study is an open-label, multiple-dose escalation, Investigator-Initiated Trial (IIT) clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CC312 in adult patients with relapsed and refractory autoimmune diseases. The trial also assesses pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary efficacy.
