NCT ID NCT06400303
First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 23, 2026 · Updated 29 times
Summary
This early-phase trial is testing a new treatment called KYV-101 for people with systemic sclerosis, a disease where the immune system attacks the body, causing skin and organ damage. The therapy uses a patient's own modified immune cells to target and destroy certain B cells that may drive the disease. Only 3 participants are enrolled, and the main goals are to check safety and see if the treatment can improve symptoms.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
KYV-101 (a type of CAR-T cell therapy made from the patient's own immune cells, designed to target and destroy B cells)
What this could lead to
If successful, this could point toward a new treatment option for systemic sclerosis that targets the immune system's role in the disease.
What could go wrong
This is a very early, small trial with only 3 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. CAR-T therapy can cause serious side effects like cytokine release syndrome and infections.
