ClinicalTriails.gov ID: NCT06193889

Sponsor: Kyverna Therapeutics

Study Start (Actual): 2024-08-28

Phase 2 & 3 

A Study of the Anti-CD 19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cell Therapy for Patients with Myasthenia Gravis.

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects the neuromuscular junction and is characterized by muscle weakness. B cells play a role in MG, and the disease is characterized by the presence of autoantibodies such as anti-AChR and anti-MuSK antibodies. CD-19 target chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells harness the ability of cytotoxic T cells to directly and specifically lyse target cells to effectively deplete both normal and autoreactive B cells in the circulation as well as impacted lymphoid and potentially non-lymphoid tissues. KYV-101, a fully human anti-CD19 CAR T-cell therapy, will be investigated in adult subjects with myasthenia gravis (MG).

KYSA-6: A Phase 2/3, Open-Label, Randomized, Controlled, Multicenter Study of KYV-101, an Autologous Fully Human Anti-CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CD19 CAR T) Therapy, Versus Ongoing Standard-Of-Care Immunosuppressive Therapy in Patients With Generalized Myasthenia Gravis

Zilucoplan for Severe gMG Exacerbations

Recruiting

Last updated information on 5-2-2026 from clinicaltrials.gov

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07215949

Sponsor: Miriam Freimer

Study Start (Actual): 2026-01-20

Brief Summary

This is an open-label, multicenter, interventional phase 3b study in participants with AChR+ gMG and severe exacerbation that require hospitalization. Patients will receive subcutaneous zilucoplan injections daily for 12 weeks. Participation in the study will last for approximately 18 weeks.

Detailed Description

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of subcutaneous zilucoplan in participants with AChR antibody positive gMG who experience severe exacerbations requiring hospitalization. A total of 15 patients will be enrolled in the study with treatment lasting 12 weeks. Dosing will be weight based.

Patients will be presented with the option of undergoing standard of care plasma exchange or IVIG or to participate in the research study to determine if the use of zilucoplan would rapidly alleviate the most severe symptoms of gMG (respiratory dysfunction and/or bulbar dysfunction). Assessments will include medical history, physical exam, vital signs and bloodwork. MG assessments will also be conducted including the QMG and MG-ADL and patient reported outcome measures like the Myasthenia Gravis Quality of Life 15 item Revised (MGQoL15r) scale. Treatment will start in the hospital and once the patient is discharged, treatment will continue as an outpatient. Current medications and adverse events will also be reviewed and documented. Patients who undergo treatment with zilucoplan will be vaccinated against meningitis prior to starting the study drug and will continue with the recommended set of vaccines for 6 months. Antibiotics will be taken concurrently until patients are fully vaccinated.

The study aims to find a less invasive method to treat MG patients who are experiencing an exacerbation. Utilization of a subcutaneous medication with relatively rapid onset of action may provide a viable alternative to the current therapeutic approaches. If rapid complement inhibition were to prove efficacious in the treatment of acute exacerbations of gMG, this therapy would potentially obviate the need for transfer to tertiary care centers, avoid the potentially hazardous placement of a large bore central venous catheter for plasmapheresis, and potentially reduce hospital length of stay.

A Study of Telitacicept for the Treatment of Generalized Myasthenia Gravis (UPSTREAM MG)

Recruiting

Last updated information on 5-2-2026 from clinicaltrials.gov

ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06456580

Sponsor: Vor Biopharma

Study Start (Actual): 2024-07-17

Phase 3

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of telitacicept in the treatment of generalized myasthenia gravis.

Detailed Description

 

Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease in which autoantibodies disrupt the postsynaptic membrane, impairing nerve-to-muscle signal transmission. The predominant manifestation is muscle weakness, which typically worsens with repeated muscle exertion, such that function is usually the best in the morning with more pronounced weakness at the end of the day. A major challenge in MG is the lack of therapies that effectively treat the disease.

Telitacicept is a fully human TACI-Fc fusion protein that targets B-lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS) and A proliferating-inducing ligand (APRIL), neutralizing their interactions with receptors on B cells. The blockage of BLyS and APRIL interaction with their respective cell membrane receptors (transmembrane activator and CAML interactor [TACI], B-cell maturation antigen, and BLyS receptors) by telitacicept can inhibit B-cell proliferation and maturation. This suppression at the proximal portion of the immune response could alleviate autoimmune symptoms.

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 3 study with an open-label extension (OLE) to evaluate the efficacy and safety of telitacicept in a global patient population with gMG. The total duration of the study is variable but will include an approximately 4-week screening period, a 24-week double-blind treatment period (Week 0 through Week 24), a 48-week OLE (Week 24 through Week 72), followed by an extended OLE period (E-OLE), and an 8-week end-of-study follow-up period. The E-OLE is variable duration, defined as the period after the 48-week OLE period until telitacicept is approved for MG in the country or the further development in the indication is concluded.

    • C5 complement inhibitor (ex. Eculizumab) within 5 half-lives or 90 days after last dose (whichever is longer);
    • Anti-CD20 (ex. Rituximab) within 5 half-lives for 90 days after last dose (whichever is longer);
    • Inclusion of subjects on other immunomodulatory drugs will be at the discretion of the medical monitor and study site investigator.
  6. Subjects who have used immunoglobulins given SC or IV (SCIg or IVIg) or plasmapheresis/plasma exchange (PE) within 4 weeks before Screening.
  7. Subjects who have had thymectomy or any other thymic surgery performed within 12 months prior to Screening.
  8. Subjects with untreated thymic malignancy, carcinoma, or thymoma.
  9. Subjects with a history of tuberculosis or positive PPD skin test.

  12. Subjects with laboratory test results at Screening or prior to study dosing that are outside the normal limits and considered by the investigator to be clinically significant. Note: Clinically significant laboratory test results at screening that are related to the condition (MG) are acceptable as long as all inclusion and no other exclusion criteria are met.
  13. Subjects with positive test results for hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg), hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody, or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antigen/antibody as determined at Screening.
  14. Subjects with a history of or currently active immune disorders other than MG (including autoimmune disease) unless the condition, after discussion with the medical monitor and study site investigator, has been deemed to be acceptable for the subject's participation in this clinical study.
  15. Subjects with a history of or current active diseases other than myasthenia gravis requiring immunosuppressive drugs (including azathioprine, prednisone, prednisolone, budesonide, cyclosporine, tacrolimus, methotrexate, or mycophenolate mofetil) unless the condition, after discussion with the medical monitor and site investigator, has been deemed to be acceptable for the subject's participation in this clinical study.
  16. Subjects with a clinical history of significant cardiovascular disease as determined by the Investigator.
  17. Subjects with a complication or medical history of malignancy within the past 5 years which, in the investigator's opinion, makes the subject unsuitable for study participation.
