KYSA-6: A Phase 2/3, Open-Label, Randomized, Controlled, Multicenter Study of KYV-101, an Autologous Fully Human Anti-CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CD19 CAR T) Therapy, Versus Ongoing Standard-Of-Care Immunosuppressive Therapy in Patients With Generalized Myasthenia Gravis
Summary
A Study of the Anti-CD 19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy for Patients with Myasthenia Gravis
Detailed description
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the neuromuscular junction and is characterized by muscle weakness. B cells play a role in MG, and the disease is characterized by the presence of autoantibodies such as anti-AChR and anti-MuSK antibodies. CD-19 target chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells harness the ability of cytotoxic T cells to directly and specifically lyse target cells to effectively deplete both normal and autoreactive B cells in the circulation as well as impacted lymphoid and potentially non-lymphoid tissues. KYV-101 (mivocabtagene autoleucel \[miv-cel\])), a fully human anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy, will be investigated in adult subjects with myasthenia gravis (MG).
