No results posted yet for this study

Summary

This is a single-center, single-arm, open-label phase 1/2 study of CART19 in children and young adults with refractory Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), including both patients diagnosed with lupus nephritis (LN) and patients with non-renal Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Phase 1 will evaluate the safety of CART19 in 6-12 patients with Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). There is no planned dose escalation, but a dose de-escalation will be made based on the incidence of Dose Limiting Toxicities. Phase 2 will evaluate the efficacy and further evaluate the safety of CART19 in this population.
