New treatment option for Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies(IIM)

Official title An Exploratory Study of CD19/CD22/BCMA CAR-T Cells (BZE2204) in Subjects With Relapsed or Refractory Autoimmune Diseases

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07174843

What this study is testing

What is CD19/CD22/BCMA CAR-T cells(BZE2204)?

CD19/CD22/BCMA CAR-T cells(BZE2204) is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for idiopathic inflammatory myopathies(iim).

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 single arm, open-label, dose escalation and expansion study to evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of autologous chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cells targeting CD19/CD22/BCMA(BZE2204) in patients with relapsed or refractory active autoimmune diseases, including idiopathic inflammatory myopathies(IIM), immune thrombocytopenia(ITP), systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE).
  • Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
