RECRUITINGPhase 2 / Phase 3INTERVENTIONAL
KYSA-6: A Study of Anti-CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell Therapy, in Patients With Generalized Myasthenia Gravis
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
About This Trial
A Study of the Anti-CD 19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy for Patients with Myasthenia Gravis
Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)
Key Inclusion Criteria
1. Presence of autoantibodies to AChR or MuSK at screening.
2. Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America (MGFA) Class II-IV
3. MG-Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) total score of ≥6 at screening and confirmed at pre-dose baseline
4. QMG total score of ≥11 at screening an confirmed at pre-dose baseline
5. Failed treatment with 2 or more immunosuppressive/immunomodulatory therapies, or failed at least 1 immunosuppressive therapy and required chronic plasmapheresis, or IVIG (\>4 times/year over ≥12 months) to control symptoms
6. On a stable dose of glucocorticoids and/or other immunotherapies for ≥1 month prior to screening. For patients treated with azathioprine, a stable dose for ≥2 months prior to screening is required
7. No change in dose of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors for ≥2 weeks prior to screening
8. No use of intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) or plasmapheresis (PLEX) within 4 weeks of screening or pre-dose baseline (unless this is part of their SOC treatment regimen)
9. No use of rituximab (or any other anti-CD20 or CD19 monoclonal antibody) within 12 weeks prior to screening
10. No use of FcRn inhibitors within 4 weeks prior to screening
Key Exclusion Criteria
1. Unable to washout or interrupt autoimmune conditions (where your immune system attacks your own body) therapy prior to apheresis
2. Co-occurring neurological autoimmune conditions (where your immune system attacks your own body) (ie, Lambert-Eaton Myasthenic Syndrome) or any disease affecting the neuromuscular junction or muscle causing weakness (eg, myositis, myopathy, motor neuropathy)
3. History of stroke (with residual sequalae and/or risk for recurrence), seizure (even if well controlled on antiepileptics), neurodegenerative disease, altered mental status (unexplained and/or recent/current), or uncontrolled/severe psychiatric disease
