This is a phase 1 study designed to evaluate the safety, pharmacokinetics (PK), and anti-B-cell activity of FT819 following treatment with or without auxiliary medicinal product (AMP) in participants with moderate to severe active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV), idiopathic inflammatory myositis (IIM), and systemic sclerosis (SSc). The study will consist of a dose-escalation stage, followed by an expansion stage to further evaluate the safety and activity of FT819.
Phase 1 trials primarily test safety and dosing in a small number of participants (typically 20–100). Results do not yet speak to efficacy. FDA approval is typically many years away from this stage.
Currently recruiting: the trial is enrolling patients. A data readout is not expected until after enrollment closes and the follow-up period is complete.
Fate Therapeutics (FATE) is the sponsoring company for this trial. BiotechSign currently grades this company C (63/100) based on composite catalyst signals across its full pipeline. This trial is one data point in that overall catalyst picture.
