What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial tests an investigational cell therapy called FT839 in people with active autoimmune diseases, including ANCA-associated vasculitis, inflammatory myositis, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and systemic sclerosis. Participants receive FT839 as two intravenous infusions, sometimes combined with rituximab or other background treatments. The study first checks safety and tolerability, then measures whether FT839 reduces disease activity using condition-specific scores. It is open to adults aged 18 to 70 with moderate to severe disease who have not responded to at least two prior treatments.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
FT839, an investigational cell therapy given as two intravenous infusions, tested alone or with rituximab and other background treatments
What this could lead to
If it works, FT839 could offer a new way to calm the immune system and reduce disease activity in several autoimmune conditions, potentially helping people who have not responded to other treatments.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial, so the safety and effectiveness of FT839 are not yet proven. It may not work for all the diseases studied, and there are risks of side effects from the cell therapy and the conditioning or background treatments.
