Summary

This trial is testing a new therapy using modified immune cells to treat people with systemic sclerosis.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people with a condition called systemic sclerosis, specifically the diffuse cutaneous type. They should be within 6 years of their first symptom that's not Raynaud's phenomenon and have active disease. Participants must also be current on vaccinations recommended for those with weakened immune systems.
What is being tested?
The study is testing KYV-101, which is a type of CAR T-cell therapy targeting CD19, an antigen found on certain cells in the body. This therapy will be compared to or combined with standard treatments that reduce the number of lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell).
What are the potential side effects?
CAR T-cell therapies like KYV-101 can cause side effects such as fever, fatigue, headache, difficulty breathing, low blood pressure, and may affect normal blood cells leading to increased risk of infections.
