Summary

This trial is enrolling children and young adults with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus to test the safety and effectiveness of using genetically modified T cells to target specific cells in the body. The

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children and young adults with severe Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) that hasn't improved with treatment. Participants will have their T cells collected and modified to target B cells related to SLE.
What is being tested?
The study tests a new therapy called SCRI-CAR19v3, where participants' own T cells are engineered to fight lupus by targeting CD19 on B cells. It's an early-stage trial focusing on safety and how well the treatment works.
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is a phase 1 trial primarily assessing safety, specific side effects of SCRI-CAR19v3 are not detailed but may include immune reactions, infusion-related symptoms, or other unforeseen issues due to genetic modification.
