BCMA-CD19 cCAR-T for the Treatment of Refractory Inflammatory Myopathy
brief summary
This single-arm, open-label, phase I trial evaluates the safety and tolerability of ICG318 CAR-T (BCMA-CD19-IL-15/IL15sushi cCAR T cells) in patients with refractory Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM).
detailed description
Idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) is a group of chronic autoimmune diseases with the most common types in adults being dermatomyositis, immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy, polymyositis, and antisynthetase syndrome. IIM is driven by humoral immune cell dysfunction including B cells, plasma cells and long-lived plasma cells.
ICG318 CAR-T, the investigational agent in this clinical trial, is an armored, compound chimeric antigen receptor (cCAR) composed of two independently functioning CARs that target the CD19 and BCMA surface antigens on B cells and plasma/long-lived plasma cells, respectively.
This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ICG318 CAR-T in patients with refractory IIM. A single dose of ICG318 CAR-T will be evaluated after cyclophosphamide lymphodepletion.
