A Safety and Efficacy Study Evaluating CTX112 in Adult Subjects With Refractory Autoimmune Disease

Study Purpose

This is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter, ascending dose Phase 1 study evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of CTX112 in adult subjects with refractory autoimmune diseases, including active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis (SSc), or idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM).

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms

No
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.

More Inclusion & Exclusion Criteria

Key

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Age ≥18 years and < 70 years of age. 2. Subjects must voluntarily sign a written informed consent and be willing and able to comply with all study requirements. 3. Adequate hematologic, renal, liver, cardiac and pulmonary organ function. 4. Subjects must agree to use acceptable methods of contraception. 5. Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, contraceptive guidelines, and other study procedures. 6. Diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis (SSc) or idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM). For systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) subjects:
  • - Diagnosis of SLE by a board-certified rheumatologist that conforms with 2019 ACR/EULAR criteria.
For lupus nephritis subjects, active, biopsy-proven proliferative lupus nephritis Class III or IV, either with or without the presence of Class V, and appropriate National Institutes of Health index activity score using the 2018 International Society of Nephrology/Renal Pathology Society criteria. For Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) subjects:
  • - Diagnosis of diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSC) or SSc-ILD that conforms with 2013 ACR/EULAR criteria.
Subjects should meet active skin or lung disease criteria. For Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy (IIM) subjects:
  • - Diagnosis with dermatomyositis (DM), polymyositis (PM) or myositis as part of rheumatologic overlap syndrome, antisynthetase (ASyS), or immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) that conforms with 2017 ACR/EULAR criteria for inflammatory myopathies.
Subjects must meet moderate severe, skin, or lung involvement criteria. Key

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Prior anti-CD19 therapy or any gene therapy/genetically modified cell therapy. 2. Prior solid organ (heart, liver, kidney, lung) transplant or hematopoietic cell transplant. 3. Severe active or history of central nervous (CNS) involvement. 4. History of a seizure disorder, cerebrovascular ischemia/hemorrhage, dementia, cerebellar disease or any autoimmune disease with CNS involvement other than SLE, SSc or IIM. 5. Mixed connective tissue disease with no clear predominant disease. 6. Presence of study disease manifestations or other conditions that are likely to pose increase safety risks and/or confound disease assessments, or pose significant risk to those receiving CAR T cell therapy. 7. History of primary or secondary immunodeficiency. 8. Presence or history of certain bacterial, viral or fungal infection. 9. Malignancy in the last 5 years (with the exception of cancers deemed to be low likelihood for recurrence). 10. Diagnosis of a genetic disorder associated with bone marrow failure or myelodysplastic syndrome. 11. History or current diagnosis of catastrophic anti-phospholipid syndrome or anti phospholipid syndrome that requires ongoing anticoagulation. 12. Pregnant or lactating. 13. Presence or history of disease requiring treatment that is not compatible with the study protocol; presence or history of other conditions that are not compatible with the study protocol.

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.

NCT06925542
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.

Additional Details

This study may enroll up to 80 subjects in total. CTX112 is a CD19 directed chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell immunotherapy comprised of allogeneic T cells prepared for the treatment of refractory autoimmune diseases. The cells are from healthy adult volunteer donors that are genetically modified ex vivo using CRISPR-Cas9 (clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/ CRISPR-associated protein 9) gene editing components (single guide RNA and Cas9 nuclease).
