Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
* Signed informed consent
* Adequate renal, hepatic, cardiac, hematological and pulmonary function
* Men and women with SLE, aged =18 years and =65 years at screening, fulfilling the 2019 European League Against Rheumatism EULAR/ACR classification criteria for SLE.
* Patient must be positive for at least one of the following autoantibodies at screening: antinuclear antibodies (ANA) at a titer of =1:80, or anti dsDNA (above the ULN); or anti-Sm (above the ULN)
* Active (severe) disease as defined by SLEDAI-2K = 8 (not including the SLEDAI-2K domains of lupus headache, cerebrovascular accident, organic brain syndrome) and at least one of the following significant SLE related organ involvements:
* Renal
* At least moderate or severe peri/myocarditis
* At least moderate or severe pleuritis or other lung involvement
* Vasculitis
* Failure to respond to two or more standard immunosuppressive therapies (including one of mycophenolate or cyclophosphamide), unless contraindicated or having experienced documented adverse events or intolerance related to such immunosuppressive drugs not allowing their further use, in combination with glucocorticoids and failure to respond to at least one biological agent (unless contraindicated, the patient deemed ineligible by the Investigator or not available in a country).
Minimum age
18 Years
Maximum age
65 Years
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
* Clinically significant 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. Patients who have had at least one severe infection that required prolonged hospitalization in the intensive care setting within 5 years prior to screening and/or at least one severe infection that required prolonged hospitalization within one year prior to 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 surgical therapy, such as head and neck cancer, or stage I breast cancer will be considered on an individual basis
* Any patients requiring medications prohibited by the protocol
* Any psychiatric condition or disability making 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 of 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 women 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 the YTB323 infusion and until CAR-T cells are no 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 ineligible for CD19 CAR-T therapy as judged by the Investigator, such as acute central nervous system (CNS) lupus (e.g. psychosis, epilepsy) or catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome
* Significant, likely irreversible organ damage related to SLE, e.g. end stage renal disease, that in the opinion of the Investigator renders CD19 CAR-T cell therapy would be unlikely to benefit the patient
* B cell aplasia
