AB-101 in Combination With B-Cell Depleting mAb in Patients Who Failed Treatment for Class III or IV Lupus Nephritis

Study Purpose

AB-101 (also known as AlloNK) is an off-the shelf, allogeneic cell product made of "natural killer" cells, also called NK cells. White blood cells are part of the immune system and NK cells are a type of white blood cell that is known to enhance the effect of monoclonal antibody therapies. This clinical trial will enroll adult patients with lupus nephritis Class III or IV either with or without the presence of Class V who relapsed or did not respond to previous standard of care treatment approaches. The primary objective is to assess the safety, tolerability and preliminary activity of AB-101 plus rituximab after cyclophosphamide and fludarabine in adult subjects with relapsed/refractory lupus nephritis Class III or IV, with or without the presence of Class

  • V. Patients will be assigned to receive either AB-101 alone as monotherapy or in combination with rituximab.
All patients will receive at least 1 treatment cycle of AB-101, followed by scheduled assessments of overall health and response status. Patients may receive up to 2 cycles of treatment spaced 24 weeks apart.

Study Type

An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes.


An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.


Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.

Trial Details

Trial ID:

This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.

NCT06265220
Phase

Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans.

Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data.

Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs.

Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.
