Obe-cel in Refractory Progressive Forms of Multiple Sclerosis

Not Applicable
Recruiting
Conditions
Progressive Multiple Sclerosis
Interventions
Biological: Obecabtagene autoleucel (obe-cel)
Registration Number
NCT07139743
Lead Sponsor
Autolus Limited
Brief Summary

The main purpose of this study is to evaluate if obe-cel is safe or causes any side effects in adults with refractory progressive MS. The study also plans to assess if obe-cel can show early signs of efficacy in MS. The trial includes only 1 group of patients (single-arm). The study population comprises patients with progressive forms of MS, not responsive to highly effective therapies.

Upon confirmation of study eligibility, patients will receive fludarabine and cyclophosphamide (types of chemotherapy, used here for lymphodepletion) over 1 to 3 days in preparation for receiving a single obe-cel infusion.

Patients will be checked closely in the 28 days following obe-cel treatment. After this, patients will be monitored to evaluate safety and efficacy up to 24 months.

Detailed Description

This is a Phase 1 study to determine the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of obe-cel in participants with refractory progressive forms of multiple sclerosis.

The study comprises 3 periods:

Screening Period: From Day -30 to enrolment Treatment Period: From day of enrolment to End of Treatment (EOT) or Day 1 - Patients will be evaluated to confirm eligibility for lymphodepletion, and thereafter receive lymphodepletion to enhance treatment efficacy and CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell survival.

Obe-cel Administration: If the participant's eligibility for receiving obe-cel infusion is confirmed, the participant is to receive a single obe cel infusion on Day 1.

Post treatment Period: From Day 1 to End of Study all participants will be followed up for efficacy and safety evaluation.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To evaluate the tolerability of obe cel in participants with refractory forms of progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS)Up to Day 28

Percentage of participants receiving obe-cel who experience dose-limiting toxicities

To evaluate the safety of obe-cel in participants with refractory forms of progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS)Up to end of study

To evaluate the safety of obe-cel in participants with refractory forms of progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS)

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of obe-cel in participants with refractory forms of PMS using Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) - Change from baseline in EDSSUp to Month 24

The EDSS is based on a standardized neurological examination focussing on assessment of 7 functional systems (visual, brainstem, pyramidal, cerebellar, sensory, bowel / bladder and cerebral). The range of the EDSS includes 20 half steps from 0 to 10, with EDSS step 0 corresponding to a completely normal examination and EDSS step 10 to death due to MS.

To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of obe-cel in participants with refractory forms of PMS using Timed 25-foot Walk Test (T25FWT).Up to Month 24

Change from baseline in T25FWT

To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of obe-cel in participants with refractory forms of PMS using 9-hole Peg Test (9-HPT)Up to Month 24

Change from baseline in 9-HPT

To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of obe-cel in participants with refractory forms of PMS using Symbol Digit Modalities Test (SDMT)Up to Month 24

Change from baseline in SDMT
