This open-label, single-arm Phase I trial studies an investigational CAR‑T product (Inaticabtagene autoleucel) in people with autoimmune hemolytic anemia who have failed at least three prior lines of therapy. Participants receive conditioning chemotherapy followed by a single infusion of CAR‑T cells at escalating dose levels. The primary goals are to assess safety and tolerability and to determine a recommended dose for future studies.
What it is studying. The study is testing the safety and tolerability of Inaticabtagene autoleucel (a CAR‑T cell therapy) in people with autoimmune hemolytic anemia that has not responded to at least three prior treatments. It aims to find a recommended Phase II dose and, secondarily, collect early information on response rates, duration of remission, laboratory changes, and how the product behaves in the body (pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics) and whether it provokes immune reactions (immunogenicity).
What the researchers hope to learn. Evaluate safety and tolerability of Inaticabtagene autoleucel in refractory autoimmune hemolytic anemia; determine a recommended Phase II dose (RP2D); collect preliminary measures of remission and response (overall remission rate, drug‑free remission duration); and assess pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity.

Participants will receive a short course of conditioning chemotherapy (fludarabine and cyclophosphamide) followed by a single infusion of the investigational CAR‑T product (dose assigned in a 3+3 escalation plan). They will be monitored closely for safety, with clinical assessments and blood tests soon after infusion (with intensive safety review through about 28 days) and longer follow‑up visits and blood tests to assess response, duration of remission, and PK/PD/immunogenicity for up to 24 months. Exact visit schedule and number of tests are determined by the study protocol.
How the study is structured. Interventional Phase I, open-label, single-group study with dose escalation using a 3+3 design. Participants receive a short course of conditioning chemotherapy (fludarabine and cyclophosphamide) and then a single infusion of Inaticabtagene autoleucel at one of several escalating dose levels. There is no placebo or masking. The planned enrollment is a small cohort (6–12 subjects) to evaluate safety and identify the safe dose.

Terms used on this page · explanations by MedicalUpdates.ai
- open-label
- No masking is used, so the assigned intervention is not deliberately hidden from participants or study staff.
- single-arm
- All participants receive the same treatment or follow the same plan. There is no comparison group within the study.
- glucocorticoid
- Steroid medicines, such as prednisone, that reduce inflammation. Studies often require a stable dose at entry or measure whether the study treatment allows the dose to be reduced.
- Women of childbearing potential
- Studies often ask participants who could become pregnant, or could father a child, to use contraception during the study and for a period afterwards, because the effect of the treatment on a pregnancy is unknown.
- screening period
- The checks done before enrolment to see whether a person qualifies, such as tests, scans or a review of medical history.
- CAR-T cells
- A treatment in which a person's own immune cells (T cells) are collected, modified in a laboratory to recognise a target, and returned to the body.
- upper limit of normal
- The highest value of a blood test that a laboratory considers normal. Criteria such as '≤ 3 × ULN' mean the result must be no more than three times that value.
- creatinine clearance
- A measure of kidney function, calculated from a blood creatinine level together with age, weight and sex.
- ECOG
- A scale from 0 to 5 that describes how a person's condition affects daily activity. 0 means fully active; 1 means restricted in strenuous activity; 2 means able to self-care but unable to work; higher numbers mean more limitation.
- investigational drug
- A treatment that is being tested and has not been approved for this use. It may be approved for a different condition. Being studied does not mean it works or is available outside the study.
- 5 half-lives
- The time it takes for the amount of a drug in the body to fall by half. 'Five half-lives' is often used as the point at which a previous drug has essentially left the body.
- Inclusion Criteria
- The conditions a person must meet to be considered for the study, for example a confirmed diagnosis, an age range or a test result.
- Exclusion Criteria
- The conditions that rule a person out even if they meet the inclusion criteria, for example other illnesses, certain medicines or pregnancy.
- phase II
- A study that tests whether a treatment has the intended effect and continues to check safety, usually in a larger group than phase 1.
- RP2D
- The dose chosen at the end of a phase 1 study for testing in later studies, based on safety and other measurements.
- pharmacokinetic
- How the body absorbs, distributes, breaks down and removes a drug. It is studied by measuring drug levels or related substances at set times after a dose.
- pharmacodynamic
- What a drug does to the body, for example how it changes a blood marker or a symptom, and how that relates to the dose.
