Recruiting PHASE1 Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (With and Without Nephritis)

Tests treatment safety and results for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (With and Without Nephritis)

Official title A Study to Investigate the Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of ALLO-329, an Allogeneic CAR T-cell Therapy, in Adults With Autoimmune Disease

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07085104

What this study is testing

What is ALLO-329?

ALLO-329 is an investigational medicine, being studied as a potential treatment for systemic lupus erythematosus (with and without nephritis).

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 is a first-in-human, single-arm, open-label study evaluating the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of ALLO-329 in adults with autoimmune diseases: systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with and without renal involvement, idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM), and systemic sclerosis (SSc).The purpose of this trial is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ALLO-329, an allogeneic anti-CD19, anti-CD70 dual chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapy, in adults with autoimmune disorders, provide initial evidence of biological activity and clinical response to the treatment and determine the recommended Phase 2 regimen (RP2R).
