Официальное название

An Open-label, Single-arm Phase I/II Clinical Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Equecabtagene Autoleucel Injection (Eque-cel) in Subjects With Immune-mediated Necrotizing Myopathy

Обзор

This is an open-label, single-arm Phase I/II clinical study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Eque-cel Injection in patients with refractory immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy.

Подробное описание

This study is an open-label, single-arm Phase I/II clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of Eque-cel in subjects with immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM). The study consists of two phases: Phase I and Phase II. The Phase I component will evaluate the safety, tolerability and preliminary efficacy of Eque-cel to identify the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D). Following RP2D determination from Phase I, the Phase II stage will enroll additional subjects at this dose level to confirm the efficacy of Eque-cel injection in patients with IMNM. All subjects will undergo a primary follow-up period of 2 years after infusion of Eque-cel injection, followed by long-term follow-up extending up to 15 years.

Вмешательства

• Препарат Equecabtagene Autoleucel Injection (Eque-cel)
  Eque-cel is a personalized, BCMA-targeted gene-modified autologous T-cell immunotherapy product capable of recognizing and eliminating both malignant and normal cells expressing BCMA. The CAR specifically identifies BCMA via a fully human single-chain variable fragment (scFv) with low immunogenicity, activates, proliferates, secretes cytokines, and kills target cells through the CD3ζ domain, while enhancing CAR-T expansion and persistence via 4-1BB costimulation signaling. Eque-cel demonstrates
