CAR-T therapy targets autoimmune diseases, but trial never started
NCT ID NCT06869278
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study planned to test a new CAR-T cell therapy called LCAR-AIO in adults with relapsed or treatment-resistant neurological autoimmune diseases, including multiple sclerosis and myasthenia gravis. The goal was to check safety and find the right dose. However, the trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no data was collected.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- LCAR-AIO CAR-T cells (a type of genetically modified immune cell)
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could point toward a new treatment option for people with hard-to-treat autoimmune diseases like multiple sclerosis or myasthenia gravis.
- What could go wrong
- This trial was withdrawn before enrolling anyone, so no results exist. CAR-T therapy can cause severe side effects, and it is very early-stage research.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Subjects voluntarily participate in clinical research. 2. Age 18-70 years. 3. Adequate organ function at screening. 4. Clinical laboratory values meet criteria at screening visit. 5. Indications include: MS; 1. Have been diagnosed of MS at least 6 months before screening. 2. Fulfill relapsed/refractory MS conditions. NMOSD/MOGAD: 1. Have been diagnosed of NMOSD/MOGAD at least 6 months before screening. 2. AQP-4 IgG (NMOSD), or MOG-IgG (MOGAD) should be positive by CBA (Cell based transfection immunofluorescence assay). 3. Fulfill relapsed/refractory NMOSD/MOGAD conditions. MG: 1. Have been diagnosed of MG at least 6 months before screening. 2. AChR-IgG or MuSK-IgG should be positive. 3. Fulfill relapsed/refractory NMOSD/MOGAD conditions. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Active infections such as hepatitis and tuberculosis. 2. Other autoimmune diseases. 3. Serious underlying diseases such as tumor, uncontrolled diabetes and clinically significant cardiovascular disease. 4. Female subjects who were pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning to become pregnant while participating in this study or within 1 year of receiving LCAR-AIO treatment.
