What You Need to Know Before You Apply

What is the purpose of this trial?

This trial tests a new cell therapy called CABA-201 for patients with active lupus. It aims to help those whose disease is not well-controlled by current treatments. Patients first get standard medications to prepare their bodies, then receive CABA-201 to help manage their immune system.

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.

Adults aged 18-65 with active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) can join. For lupus nephritis, a biopsy must confirm it. Participants need positive tests for specific antibodies and have moderate to severe SLE symptoms if not renal-related. Exclusions include other kidney diseases, previous CAR T cell therapy, reactions to certain drugs, ongoing serious infections or organ transplants.

Inclusion Criteria

You have positive test results for certain antibodies in your blood.

I have been diagnosed with lupus according to the 2019 EULAR/ACR criteria.

I have a confirmed diagnosis of class III or IV lupus nephritis, with or without class V.

Exclusion Criteria

Concomitant medical conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, might place the subject at unacceptable risk for participation in this study, interfere with the assessment of the effects or safety of the investigational product or with the study procedures

I have received CAR T cell therapy before.

I have kidney disease, but it's not active lupus nephritis.
