What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 early-stage trial is testing a new treatment called C-CAR168, which uses a patient's own immune cells modified to attack harmful cells in the body. It is for 15 adults with multiple sclerosis, neuromyelitis optica, autoimmune encephalitis, or stiff person syndrome that have not improved with standard treatments. The main goal is to check safety and find the right dose.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
C-CAR168 (a type of CAR-T cell therapy that targets CD20 and BCMA proteins)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with severe central nervous system autoimmune diseases that haven't responded to standard therapies.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small Phase 1 trial with only 15 people, focused mainly on safety. It may not show clear benefit, and CAR-T therapy carries risks like cytokine release syndrome and infections.
