Systemic Lupus Erythematosus study: SCRI-CAR19v3
Official title REACT-01: Reversing Autoimmunity Through Cell Therapy
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06465147
What this study is testing
What is SCRI-CAR19v3?
This is an investigational one-time infusion being studied as a potential treatment for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). It is designed to use your own T cells, which are changed in a lab to target and remove specific B cells from your body.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment. It is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This study is testing whether a special T cell therapy can be safe for people with lupus. It also looks at how well the therapy works when other medicines fail.
- Who it's for
- You may join if you are a child or young adult with lupus that hasn't improved with medicines.
- What's involved
- You will give a blood sample to collect your T cells. The lab will change them into CAR T cells that attack B cells. You will then receive the modified cells back and have clinic visits and blood tests.
- Time commitment
- The study lasts about 6 months, with several clinic visits and blood tests over that time.
- Phase 1: an early, usually small safety study
Which group you join is decided by chance.
