NKX019, Intravenous Allogeneic Chimeric Antigen Receptor Natural Killer Cells (CAR NK), in Adults With Autoimmune Disease (Ntrust-1)

Study using CAR NK cells for adults with autoimmune disease.

Recruiting
18-65 years
All
Phase 1

This study is for adults (18-65 years old) with lupus nephritis (LN), a kidney problem caused by lupus, an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks its own organs. The study checks if a new treatment, called NKX019, is safe. NKX019 uses special cells, known as CAR NK cells, to target and fight a protein called CD19. Participants will receive a series of three doses, after a preparation step with a drug called cyclophosphamide.

Key Points to Consider:

  • Study Length: Involves multiple cycles and visits to the study center.
  • Eligibility: Must have active LN and meet specific health criteria.
  • Risks and Benefits: As a Phase 1 study, the main focus is understanding safety, so potential risks are being explored.

Participants can't join if they have severe kidney problems, heart issues, or other specific health conditions. The study is open-label, meaning both doctors and participants know about the treatment given. This study aims to help improve treatments for those dealing with lupus nephritis. If interested, ensure you meet the criteria and discuss with your doctor about joining.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
