Summary

This trial is testing a new therapy for people with Myasthenia Gravis using a type of immune cells called Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cells that target a specific protein on immune cells

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with Myasthenia Gravis, specifically those who have autoantibodies to AChR and MuSK. Participants should be experiencing moderate to severe muscle weakness (MGFA Class IIB-IV).
What is being tested?
The study is testing KYV-101, a type of CAR T-cell therapy designed to target CD19 on immune cells, alongside a standard treatment that reduces the number of immune cells (lymphodepletion regimen).
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to the immune system's response such as fever, fatigue, headache, or more serious conditions like changes in blood pressure or abnormal blood cell counts.
