Engineered immune cells take on rare Muscle-Weakening disease
NCT ID NCT06359041
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 14, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This early-stage study tests a new treatment called CABA-201 for people with generalized myasthenia gravis, a condition that causes severe muscle weakness. The therapy uses a patient's own immune cells, modified to target and destroy faulty immune cells that attack the body. The main goal is to check safety and see if it can reduce symptoms, though long-term medication may still be needed.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 and ≤70 years of age * Diagnosis of MG with generalized muscle weakness meeting criteria as defined by the MGFA class II, III , IVa, and IVb. * Diagnosis of seropositive (autoantibodies AChR, MuSK and/or LRP4) or seronegative MG Exclusion Criteria: * Contraindication to leukapheresis * History of anaphylactic or severe systemic reaction to fludarabine, cyclophosphamide or any of their metabolites * Active infection requiring medical intervention at screening * Current symptoms of severe, progressive, or uncontrolled renal, hepatic, hematological, gastrointestinal, pulmonary, psychiatric, cardiac, neurological, or cerebral disease, including severe and uncontrolled infections, such as sepsis and opportunistic infections. * Concomitant medical conditions that, in the opinion of the investigator, might place the subject at unacceptable risk for participation in this study, interfere with the assessment of the effects or safety of the investigational product or with the study procedures * Significant lung or cardiac impairment * Prior solid organ (heart, liver, kidney, lung) transplant or hematopoietic cell transplant Other protocol-defined inclusion/exclusion criteria may apply.
