About this trial

This is a Phase 1/2, open-label, multi-center, multi-cohort, non-randomized dose escalation and dose expansion basket study to determine the safety and tolerability of NKX019 (allogeneic CAR NK cells targeting CD19) in participants with autoimmune diseases.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) [Safety and Tolerability]

Incidence of DLTs will be evaluated

Time frame
The first 28 days after the first NKX019 dose
2

Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability]

Incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events will be evaluated

Time frame
From the first administration of NKX019 until the last administration of any study treatment + 30 days
3

Incidence of clinically significant abnormalities in clinical laboratory assessments [Safety and Tolerability]

Incidence of clinically significant laboratory abnormalities will be evaluated

Time frame
From the first NKX019 dose until the last follow up visit

Secondary outcomes

1

LN only: Number of participants who achieved Primary Efficacy Renal Response (PERR), complete renal response (CRR) and partial renal response (PRR)

Primary Efficacy Renal Response (PERR), complete renal response (CRR) and partial renal response (PRR) to treatment will be assessed based on European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR)/European Renal Association-European Dialysis and Transplantation Association (ERA-EDTA) criteria

Time frame
Up to 2 years after NKX019 infusion
2

LN only: Assessment of Lupus Low Disease Activity State (LLDAS) and Definition of Remission in SLE (DORIS) remission over time

Time frame
Up to 2 years from NKX019 infusion
3

LN only: Change from baseline in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score over time

The SLEDAI-2K score falls between 0 and 105. A higher score represents greater disease activity

Time frame
Up to 2 years from NKX019 infusion
4

pMN only: Number of participants who achieved complete remission (CR) and partial remission (PR) and their components (Couser 2017)

Time frame
Up to 2 years from NKX019 infusion
