-Consentimiento informado firmado. -Funciones renal, hepática, cardíaca, hematológica y pulmonar adecuadas. -Pacientes de ambos sexos entre >/=18 años y </=65 años de edad en la selección que cumplan los criterios de clasificación del European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) 2019/American College of Rheumatology (ACR) del LES. -Pacientes que hayan dado positivo en al menos uno de los siguientes autoanticuerpos en la selección: anticuerpos antinucleares (AAN) con un título >/=1:80 o anti-ADNbc (por encima del LSN); anti Sm (por encima del LSN). -Enfermedad (grave) activa definida por SLEDAI-2K >/=8 (que no incluye los dominios del SLEDAI-2K de cefalea por lupus, accidente cerebrovascular o síndrome cerebral orgánico*) y al menos una de las siguientes afectaciones orgánicas significativas relacionadas con el LES: --Renal --Pericarditis/miocarditis. --Pleuritis u otra afectación pulmonar. --Otros tipos de serositis, como la peritoneal. --Vasculitis. -Falta de respuesta (es decir, tener alta actividad de la enfermedad como se define en el criterio anterior, a pesar de la siguiente terapia) a dos o más tratamientos inmunosupresores de referencia (como uno de micofenolato o ciclofosfamida), salvo que esté contraindicado o que haya presentado acontecimientos adversos o intolerancia documentados en relación con esos fármacos inmunosupresores que no permitan seguir tomándolos, en combinación con glucocorticoides; y falta de respuesta a al menos un fármaco biológico (salvo que esté contraindicado, el investigador no considere elegible al paciente o que no esté disponible en un país). |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
- Clinically signficant active, opportunistic, chronic or recurrent infection confirmed by clinical evidence, imaging, or positive laboratory tests (e.g., blood cultures, PCR for DNA/RNA, such as COVID-19 etc.) one month prior to or during screening. - Uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, lung diseases or any other illness that are not related to SLE that in the opinion of the Investigator would jeopardize the ability of the patient to tolerate lymphodepletion and CD19 CAR T cell therapy. - Prior history of malignancy except for localized basal cell or squamous skin cancer. Other malignancies for which the patient is judged to be cured by local surgica therapy, such as head and neck cancer, or stage I breast cancer will be considered on an individual basis. - Any patients requiring medications probited by the protocol. - Any psychiatric condition or disability compliance with treatment or informed consent impossible. - Prior treatment with anti-CD19 therapy, adoptive T cell therapy or any prior gene therapy product (e.g. CAR-T cell therapy). - History o bone marrow/hematopoietic stem cell or solid organ transplantation. - Female participants who are pregnant or breastfeeding or intending to conceive during the course of the study. - Women of childbearing potential, defined as all womoen physiologically capable of becoming pregnant, unless they are using a highly effective method of contraception starting from the time of enrollment to at least 12 months after the YTB323 infusion and until CAR-T cells are no longer present by qPCR on two consecutive tests. - Sexually active males unwilling to use a condom during intercourse from the time enrollment for at least 12 months after YTB323 infusion and until CAR-T cells ar eno longer present by qPCR on two consecutive tests. - Any acute, severe lupus related flare during screening that needs immediate treatment and/or makes the immunosuppressive washout impossible; thus, makes the patient ineligibile for CD19 CAR-T therapy as judged by the Investigator, such as acute central nervous system (CNS) lupus (e.g. psychosis, epilespy) or catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome. - Significant, likely irreversible organ damage related to SLE, e.g. end stage renal disease, where, in the opinion of the Investigator CD19 CAR-T cell therapy would be unlikely to benefit the patient. |
-Infección oportunista, activa, crónica o recurrente de interés clínico confirmada por evidencia clínica, diagnóstico por imagen o pruebas analíticas positivas (p. ej., cultivos de sangre, PCR de ADN/ARN, como COVID-19, etc.) un mes antes o durante la selección. -Diabetes mellitus no controlada, enfermedades pulmonares u otra enfermedad no relacionada con el LES que, en opinión del investigador, impediría que el paciente tolerara la linfodepleción y la terapia con linfocitos CAR-T dirigidos contra CD19. -Antecedentes de tumor maligno, salvo el carcinoma localizado de células basales o escamosas de la piel. Otros tumores malignos que se considere que puedan curarse con terapia quirúrgica local, como el cáncer de cabeza y cuello o el cáncer de mama en estadio 1, considerados de forma individual. -Cualquier paciente que requiera medicación prohibida por el protocolo. -Cualquier enfermedad o discapacidad psiquiátrica que imposibilite el cumplimiento del tratamiento o del consentimiento informado. -Tratamiento previo con anti-CD19, tratamiento adoptivo con linfocitos T o cualquier producto de terapia génica anterior (p. ej., terapia con linfocitos CAR-T). -Antecedentes de trasplante de médula ósea/células madre hematopoyéticas o de órganos sólidos. -Participantes que estén embarazadas o en periodo de lactancia o que piensen concebir durante el transcurso del estudio. -Las mujeres con posibilidad de quedarse embarazadas, definidas como todas las mujeres fisiológicamente capaces de quedarse embarazadas, salvo que accedan a utilizar un método anticonceptivo altamente eficaz desde el momento de su reclutamiento hasta al menos 12 meses después de la perfusión de YTB323 y hasta que no se observen linfocitos CAR-T mediante prueba PCR cuantitativa en dos pruebas consecutivas. -Los varones sexualmente activos que no deseen utilizar un preservativo durante el coito desde el momento de su reclutamiento hasta al menos 12 meses después de la perfusión de YTB323 y hasta que no se observen linfocitos CAR-T mediante prueba PCR cuantitativa en dos pruebas consecutivas. -Cualquier brote lúpico agudo grave durante la selección que precise tratamiento inmediato o imposibilite el lavado inmunosupresor; de este modo, el paciente no será elegible para una terapia con linfocitos CAR-T dirigidos contra CD19 según el criterio del investigador, como en el caso del lupus agudo del sistema nervioso central (SNC) (p. ej., psicosis o epilepsia) o del síndrome antifosfolípido catastrófico. -Daño significativo y probablemente irreversible en un órgano relacionado con el LES, p. ej., enfermedad renal en estadio terminal por el que, según la opinión del investigador, fuera improbable que la terapia con linfocitos CAR-T dirigidos contra CD19 beneficiara al paciente |
