Recruiting PHASE1 Systemic Sclerosis (SSc)

New treatment option for Systemic Sclerosis (SSc)

Official title Phase 1 Study of HBI0101 CAR-T in Refractory B-Cell Autoimmune Diseases

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07085676

What this study is testing

What is HBI0101 CART?

HBI0101 CART is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for systemic sclerosis (ssc).

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 study of HBI0101 BCMA-CART in B-Cell Mediated Autoimmune Rheumatic Diseases. The goal of the study is evaluation of safety and identification of the maximum HBI0101 CART dose that may be administered safely to patients with B-cell mediated autoimmune disease.
  • Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
