A Safety and Efficacy Study Evaluating CTX112 in Adult Subjects With Refractory Autoimmune Disease
What this study is about
This is a single-treatment group$1, where both patients and doctors know the treatment given, conducted at multiple hospitals, ascending dose Phase 1 study evaluating the safety and preliminary effectiveness of CTX112 in adult subjects with refractory autoimmune diseases, including active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis (SSc), or idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM).
View original scientific description
This is a single-arm, open-label, multicenter, ascending dose Phase 1 study evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of CTX112 in adult subjects with refractory autoimmune diseases, including active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis (SSc), or idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM).
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
- Age ≥18 years and \< 70 years of age.
- Subjects must voluntarily sign a written informed consent and be willing and able to comply with all study requirements.
- Adequate hematologic, renal, liver, cardiac and pulmonary organ function.
- Subjects must agree to use acceptable methods of contraception.
- Willing and able to comply with scheduled visits, treatment plan, laboratory tests, contraceptive guidelines, and other study procedures.
- Diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), systemic sclerosis (SSc) or idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM). For systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) subjects: \- Diagnosis of SLE by a board-certified rheumatologist that conforms with 2019 ACR/EULAR criteria. For lupus nephritis subjects, active, biopsy-proven proliferative lupus nephritis Class III or IV, either with or without the presence of Class V, and appropriate National Institutes of Health index activity score using the 2018 International Society of Nephrology/Renal Pathology Society criteria. For Systemic Sclerosis (SSc) subjects: \- Diagnosis of diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (dcSSC) or SSc-ILD that conforms with 2013 ACR/EULAR criteria. Subjects should meet active skin or lung disease criteria. For Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathy (IIM) subjects: \- Diagnosis with dermatomyositis (DM), polymyositis (PM) or myositis as part of rheumatologic overlap syndrome, antisynthetase (ASyS), or immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM) that conforms with 2017 ACR/EULAR criteria for inflammatory myopathies. Subjects must meet moderate severe, skin, or lung involvement criteria. Key
Exclusion criteria
- Prior anti-CD19 therapy or any gene therapy/genetically modified cell therapy.
- Prior solid organ (heart, liver, kidney, lung) transplant or hematopoietic cell transplant.
- Severe active or history of central nervous (CNS) involvement.
- History of a seizure disorder, cerebrovascular ischemia/hemorrhage, dementia, cerebellar disease or any autoimmune disease with CNS involvement other than SLE, SSc or IIM.
- Mixed connective tissue disease with no clear predominant disease.
- Presence of study disease manifestations or other conditions that are likely to pose increase safety risks and/or confound disease assessments, or pose significant risk to those receiving CAR T cell therapy.
- History of primary or secondary immunodeficiency.
- Presence or history of certain bacterial, viral or fungal infection.
- Malignancy in the last 5 years (with the exception of cancers deemed to be low likelihood for recurrence).
- Diagnosis of a genetic disorder associated with bone marrow failure or myelodysplastic syndrome.
- History or current diagnosis of catastrophic anti-phospholipid syndrome or anti phospholipid syndrome that requires ongoing anticoagulation.
- Pregnant or lactating.
- Presence or history of disease requiring treatment that is not compatible with the study protocol; presence or history of other conditions that are not compatible with the study protocol.

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.
