• Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus on stable insulin therapy
• Hypothyroidism managed with hormone replacement
• Resolved childhood asthma
• Patients on low-dose immunosuppressants (≤10 mg/day prednisone equivalent) without recent exacerbations

• Ongoing systemic bacterial, viral, or fungal infection not improving despite appropriate antimicrobial therapy, or requiring intravenous (IV) antimicrobials at Screening. Participants receiving prophylactic antimicrobials are eligible if there is no active infection.
• Any other active malignancy within 2 years prior to enrollment, except for adequately treated basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, or carcinoma in situ (e.g., cervix, breast).
• Need for urgent intervention due to tumor mass effects (e.g., bowel obstruction or major vascular compression) that would preclude protocol compliance.

• Prior or Concurrent Therapies:
• Treatment with any previous anti-MUC16 therapy.
• Prior allogenic stem cell transplant.
• Receipt of any cellular or gene therapy.
• Prohibited medications relative to leukapheresis or study treatment:
