ACE1831 for Immunoglobulin-Related Disease
What You Need to Know Before You Apply
What is the purpose of this trial?
This trial tests a new cell therapy called ACE1831 to determine its effectiveness for Immunoglobulin G4 Related Disease (IgG4-RD), a condition where the immune system attacks the body's tissues. The trial aims to identify the optimal dose of ACE1831 and its impact on the disease, particularly during flare-ups when symptoms worsen. Participants will receive the treatment either with or without a special preparation step called lymphodepletion, a type of chemotherapy. Individuals diagnosed with IgG4-RD and currently experiencing a flare-up with organ involvement may be suitable for this trial. As a Phase 1, Phase 2 trial, this research seeks to understand how the treatment works in people and measure its effectiveness in an initial, smaller group, offering participants a chance to contribute to groundbreaking medical advancements.
Will I have to stop taking my current medications?
The trial information does not specify whether you need to stop taking your current medications. It's best to discuss this with the trial team or your doctor.
Is there any evidence suggesting that this trial's treatments are likely to be safe?
Research has shown that ACE1831 has promising safety results from earlier studies. In one study with five patients, no serious side effects or immune reactions related to ACE1831, such as severe inflammation, nerve problems, or issues with the immune system attacking the body, were reported. This indicates that the treatment was well-tolerated at the tested dose. These findings are encouraging for those considering participation in clinical trials involving ACE1831.12345
Why do researchers think this study treatment might be promising?
Most treatments for immunoglobulin-related diseases focus on managing symptoms or suppressing the immune system. But ACE1831 works differently, offering a targeted approach by using a novel mechanism that potentially modifies the disease process itself. Researchers are particularly excited because ACE1831 is designed to adjust the immune response more precisely, which could lead to better outcomes with fewer side effects. Additionally, the treatment comes in various dosing levels, allowing for customization based on patient needs, further enhancing its potential effectiveness.
What evidence suggests that ACE1831 might be an effective treatment for IgG4-RD?
Research has shown that ACE1831 could help treat conditions like Immunoglobulin G4-Related Disease (IgG4-RD). In a small study, one out of five patients experienced complete symptom resolution. Additionally, symptoms stopped worsening in three out of five patients. This trial will test ACE1831 in a single arm, where participants will receive different doses of ACE1831, with or without lymphodepleting chemotherapy, depending on their cohort assignment. This treatment uses special T cells from healthy donors designed to target and fight the disease. So far, ACE1831 has not caused any serious side effects, which is a positive sign for its potential use.12346
