Summary

This study tests a new treatment called Descartes-08 in 50 children, teens, and young adults with four autoimmune diseases: lupus, vasculitis, myasthenia gravis, and dermatomyositis. The treatment uses the patient's own modified cells to calm the immune system. The main goal is to check safety and find the best dose, not to cure the disease. Participants must be at least 12 years old and have moderate symptoms despite past treatments.
