About this trial

This Phase IIa, open-label, single-arm study includes an initial Safety Run-In followed by dose expansion to evaluate the safety, tolerability, cellular kinetics, pharmacodynamics, and preliminary clinical activity of a single infusion of ICG318 in participants with refractory SLE, with or without LN. Participants will receive protocol-specified lymphodepletion followed by ICG318 at the recommended Phase 2 dose.
