Summary

This trial will study the safety and effectiveness of a new infusion therapy for those with lupus nephritis or SLE, followed up for 15 years.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults over 18 with active, refractory systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or lupus nephritis. Participants must weigh over 45 kg, have controlled blood pressure, and meet specific SLE diagnostic criteria. It's not suitable for those with other significant illnesses, additional autoimmune conditions, aggressive kidney inflammation, active CNS lupus, or a history of organ transplantation.
What is being tested?
The study tests IMPT-514 in patients with tough-to-treat SLE and lupus nephritis. IMPT-514 is a dual-target CAR therapy given via one-time infusion after pre-treatment to reduce immune cells. Patients are observed for safety and effectiveness for about a year post-treatment and followed up long-term for 15 years.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to the infusion process itself or due to the body's response to modified T cells targeting CD19/CD20 proteins on B-cells. There might also be side effects from lymphodepleting drugs like fludarabine and cyclophosphamide used before the CAR-T cell therapy.
