Phase 2 Study Evaluating Rapcabtagene Autoleucel in Participants With Diffuse Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis. ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT06655896Sponsor Novartis Pharmaceuticals

Official Title: A Phase II, Multi-part, Randomized, Open-label, Assessor-blinded, Active-controlled, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Rapcabtagene Autoleucel Versus Rituximab Treatment in Participants With Severe Refractory Diffuse Cutaneous Systemic Sclerosis 

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of rapcabtagene autoleucel (administered once following lymphodepletion) in participants with severe refractory diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis relative to rituximab.

Detailed Description: This is a phase 2, multi-part, five-year, randomized, open-label, assessor-blinded, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of rapcabtagene autoleucel versus rituximab in participants with severe refractory diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSc). This study comprises two cohorts: 

A Lead-in Cohort enrolling participants to receive rapcabtagene autoleucel.A Randomized Cohort enrolling participants to receive rapcabtagene autoleucel or rituximab. Participants in the rituximab arm whose disease is not fully controlled may receive rapcabtagene autoleucel treatment once the participant is confirmed to be eligible per protocol. After end of study, participants who received rapcabtagene autoleucel infusion will enter a long-term follow-up (LTFU) period after rapcabtagene autoleucel infusion.

A Phase 1/​2 Study of NKX019 in Subjects With Immune-Mediated Diseases (Ntrust-2)ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT06733935 Sponsor Nkarta, Inc.

Brief Summary: This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, multi-center, multi-cohort, non-randomized dose escalation and dose expansion basket study to determine the safety and tolerability of NKX019 (allogeneic CAR NK cells targeting CD19) in participants with autoimmune diseases.

Detailed Description:Dose escalation of NKX019 will utilize a "3+3" design to determine the recommended dose(s) for expansion for enrolling additional participants across indications. The study will evaluate safety and tolerability, preliminary efficacy, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity in participants with autoimmune diseases. Participants will receive a cycle consisting of lymphodepletion with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (Flu/Cy) followed by three doses of NKX019. Participants who are cytopenic may receive a modified lymphodepletion regimen of Cy alone.

A Biospecimen Collection Study to Identify the Targets of Disease-Reactive T Cells in Patients With Autoimmune Disease

ClinicalTrials.gov ID NCT06587828 Sponsor TScan Therapeutics, Inc.

Study Overview/Brief Summary

The most clinically meaningful way to discover new targets of T cells in autoimmune diseases is to study the tissues of patients with active autoimmune disease mediated organ inflammation. These tissues contain both cytotoxic and helper T cells that are driving their disease, and these T cells are being guided by TCRs that recognize tissue-specific targets. By collecting tissue when a patient has active inflammation, it is possible to determine which T cells are activated and undergoing clonal expansion in the patient's diseased organ. TScan has developed a genome-wide, high-throughput technology to determine the natural, physiological target of any TCR (Kula, 2019). The goal of this study is to isolate T cells from inflamed tissues and matched blood samples and/or matched normal tissues (for patients with inflammatory bowel diseases). T cell clones that are expanded in diseased tissues relative to blood or normal tissues will be selected and the targets of their TCRs will be defined using TScan's genome-wide, high-throughput target ID technology. The goal of this study is to discover a collection of peptide targets, along with their associated TCRs to be developed as new tolerogenic therapies for patients with autoimmune diseases.

Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of Efzofitimod in Patients With Systemic Sclerosis (SSc)-Related Interstitial Lung Disease (ILD) (SSc-ILD) Sponsor: aTyr Pharma, Inc.

We are testing whether an investigational drug, called efzofitimod, can improve (or be an effective form of treatment for) the skin and lung effects caused by systemic sclerosis-related interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD)This is a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, PoC study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of efzofitimod in patients with SSc-ILD. 

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the PoC for efficacy in a population with SSc-ILD. While improvement of ILD is the outcome of interest, the study will also evaluate changes in the skin. After initial screening (up to 4 weeks), approximately 25 eligible participants will be randomized 2:2:1 to 1 of 2 active (experimental) dose arms or placebo, administered every 4 weeks up to and including Week 20.

What will be involved? Throughout the study, you will:

• Attend a total of 9 visits to the study center

• Complete questionnaires to let us know how you are feeling

• Undergo monthly clinic visits where you will have physical exams, lung function tests, skin biopsies (only one at the beginning of the study and then at 3 months) and blood tests during these visits.

There will be no charge for any study-related treatment or procedures. Travel reimbursement for attending study visits will be provided. Please contact the study team for more information

TBI Using IMRT and Cyclophosphamide Prior to Stem Cell Transplant for the Treatment of Severe Systemic Sclerosis

This early phase I trial studies the side effects and feasibility of total body irradiation using intensity modulation radiation therapy (IMRT) when given in combination with cyclophosphamide prior to stem cell transplant to treat severe systemic sclerosis. IMRT delivers total body radiation therapy more precisely and may reduce radiation exposure to sensitive normal organs. Giving chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide, and total body irradiation before a donor stem cell transplant helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. Giving IMRT and cyclophosphamide prior to stem cell transplant may work better in treating severe systemic sclerosis and reduce radiation doses to lung and kidneys compared to cyclophosphamide alone.

Patients undergo TBI using IMRT twice daily (BID) on days -5 and -4 in the absence of disease progression or disease progression. Patients then receive cyclophosphamide on days -3 and -2 and undergo HSCT on day 0 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up on days 30 and 100.
