NCT ID NCT07523100

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 Results may not be published yet.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This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.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 will test the safety of a new immune cell therapy called universal STAR-T cells in 24 adults with multiple sclerosis (MS) who have no other treatment options. The therapy involves infusing specially engineered cells that may help control the disease. The study will first find the safest dose, then expand to confirm safety and look for early signs of effectiveness.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
Universal STAR-T cell injection (a type of immune cell therapy)
What this could lead to
If this early trial shows the therapy is safe, it could point toward a new way to control multiple sclerosis by targeting the immune system.
What could go wrong
This is a very early Phase 1 study with only 24 participants, so it is too soon to know if it works. There may be serious side effects from the cell therapy, and it is not a cure.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: * 1\. Aged from 18 to 65 years (inclusive), with no gender restriction. * 2\. Patients with MS who have been diagnosed according to the specified diagnostic criteria in the past and currently have no effective treatment options need to meet the following requirements, including: 1. According to the revised 2024 McDonald diagnostic criteria, they are clinically diagnosed with progressive MS (including primary progressive PPMS or secondary progressive SPMS) or relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS), and their disability status at the time of screening meets an EDSS score of 2-7 (inclusive). 2. For RRMS patients, they need to meet any of the following conditions: a) They have failed treatment with ≥1 effective DMT (fenogomide, cinemodide, ozamod, and anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody therapy, etc.); b) They have had at least 2 clinical relapses in the past 2 years, or they have had 1 clinical relapse in the past 2 years and MRI shows ≥1 new Gd-enhanced lesion, or they have had ≥1 new Gd-enhanced lesion on MRI within the past 6 months; c) There are ≥2 active Gd-enhanced lesions on T1-weighted brain MRI at the time of screening. * 3\. The functions of important organs should meet the following requirements: 1. Bone marrow function should satisfy: a. Neutrophil count ≥ 1×109/L (no colony-stimulating factor treatment within 2 weeks before the examination, and neutrophil reduction caused by the disease is excluded); b. Hemoglobin ≥ 60g/L; 2. Liver function: ALT ≤ 3×ULN (ALT elevation caused by the disease can be excluded); AST ≤ 3×ULN (AST elevation caused by the disease can be excluded); TBIL ≤ 1.5×ULN (TBIL elevation caused by the disease can be excluded); 3. Kidney function: Creatinine clearance rate (CrCl) ≥ 30 ml/minute (Cockcroft/Gault formula, acute CrCl decline caused by the disease is excluded); 4. Coagulation function: International normalized ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5×ULN, prothrombin time (PT) ≤ 1.5×ULN; 5. Cardiac function: Good hemodynamic stability; * 4\. For female subjects with reproductive capacity and their male partners, as well as male subjects whose female partners are of childbearing age, they are required to adopt medically approved contraceptive measures or abstain from sexual activity during the study treatment period and for at least 12 months after the end of the study treatment; female subjects of childbearing age must have a negative serum HCG test result within 7 days before study enrollment and must not be in the lactation period. * 5\. Voluntarily participated in this clinical study, signed the informed consent form, had good compliance, and cooperated with the follow-up. Exclusion Criteria: If the subjects meet any of the following exclusion criteria, they will not be included in this study: * 1\. The period of using immunosuppressants with therapeutic effects on the disease before enrollment is within five half-lives or the biological agents have been used for 4 weeks. For subjects who have received rituximab treatment, the time since the last use of rituximab is less than 3 months (except for those with B-cell reconstitution); * 2\. Have a severe history of drug allergy or are allergic constitution; * 3\. Have uncontrollable or require treatment infections such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, etc.; * 4\. Have active tuberculosis at the time of screening; * 5\. Have heart dysfunction (NYHA cardiac function classification \> grade II) and cannot tolerate the study's lymphocyte purification and cell reinfusion. * 6.Subjects with congenital immunoglobulin deficiencies; * 7\. Subjects with a history of unremitting malignant tumors within the past five years; * 8\. Subjects with end-stage renal failure; * 9\. Subjects with positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb), and peripheral blood HBV DNA titer higher than the detection limit; subjects with positive hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody and positive HCV RNA in peripheral blood; subjects with positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody; subjects with positive syphilis test results; * 10\. Male and female subjects who are pregnant or have a fertility plan during the participation in this study or within 2 years after receiving study treatment; * 11\. Subjects that the researchers consider have other reasons that prevent them from being included in this study.
