Who can participate
This study lists these criteria on ClinicalTrials.gov. A study coordinator reviews eligibility during screening — this page does not determine whether you qualify.
Inclusion criteria
- PMS and RMS inclusion criteria:
- Age 18 years to ≤60 years (inclusive) at screening.
- Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score 3.0 - 6.5 (inclusive) at screening.
- Diagnosis of primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS), secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (non-active or active), or Relapsing MS (RMS).
- Documented evidence of disability progression independent of relapse (PIRA) at any point over the 12 months prior to the screening visit. NMOSD inclusion criteria:
- Between age 18 and 65 years, inclusive at the time of signing the informed consent.
- EDSS score between 2.0 and 7.0 at screening, inclusive (for higher EDSS, the Investigator must assess that the participant is reasonably able to participate in the study).
- Diagnosis of anti-aquaporin-4 immunoglobulin G (AQP4-IgG) seropositive at screening (verified by the allocated central laboratory) and Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD).
- Must meet the appropriate NMOSD treatment washout criteria prior to receiving lymphodepletion. MG Inclusion criteria:
- Age ≥18 and ≤70 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent.
- Diagnosed with gMG at least 1 year prior to the date of signing the informed consent.
- Confirmation of MG Diagnosis:
- Positive serologic test for anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies or anti-muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) antibodies confirmed at screening AND
- One of the following (either historical or during screening):
- Abnormal neuromuscular transmission test demonstrated by single-fiber electromyography or repetitive nerve stimulation.
- Positive anticholinesterase test (e.g., edrophonium chloride test).
- Demonstrated improvement in MG signs on oral cholinesterase inhibitors, as assessed by the treating physician.
- MG activities of daily living (MG-ADL) score ≥6 at screening. CIDP Inclusion criteria
- Age ≥18 and ≤70 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent.
- Participant must have either typical CIDP, or one of the following two CIDP variants: motor CIDP, multifocal CIDP (also known as Lewis Sumner Syndrome).
- CIDP Disease Activity Status (CDAS): CDAS score ≥3 at screening.
- INCAT Disability Score: INCAT disability score ≥4 to ≤9 score at screening. General
Exclusion criteria
- History of malignancy that has not been in remission for at least 2 years.
- Viral Screening
- Evidence of chronic active or history of hepatitis B virus (HBV).
- Seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody.
- History of bone marrow/hematopoietic stem cell or solid organ transplantation.
- Prior treatment with adoptive T-cell therapy or any gene therapy product directed at any target (e.g. CAR T-cell therapy). Note: Other protocol-specified Inclusion/Exclusion criteria may apply.

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
