A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Preliminary Efficacy of ATA3219 in Participants With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
- Registration Number
- NCT06429800
- Lead Sponsor
- Atara Biotherapeutics
- Brief Summary
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of ATA3219 (following lymphodepletion) for treatment of participants with lupus nephritis (LN).
- Detailed Description
This is a Phase 1, multi-centered, open-labeled, dose escalation study to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of ATA3219 (as monotherapy) in participants with LN. Up to 3 dose levels (DLs) will be explored in the dose escalation portion of the study and if needed a lower dose may be explored. Prior to undergoing any screening procedure, prospective participants must undergo the ATA3219 inventory check assessments to ensure availability of an appropriate partially human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched ATA3219 lot. Before administration of ATA3219, participants will receive conditioning chemotherapy. For all enrolled participants, hospitalization during and following ATA3219 dosing is mandatory. Participants will receive a single dose intravenous (IV) infusion of ATA3219 (monotherapy) on Day 1. Participants will remain inpatient for a minimum of 1 week post ATA3219 dosing, where they will be frequently monitored. Lupus nephritis activity will be assessed by the investigator on Day 28 (+ 5 days) following each dose of ATA3219. During dose escalation, up to 3 dose levels of ATA3219 are planned to be evaluated sequentially and a lower dose may be added. At least 3 and up to 6 dose-limiting toxicity (DLT)-evaluable participants, those who complete the 28-day DLT observation period, will be assessed at each dose level. Within each dose level, treatment will be staggered to allow appropriate safety monitoring by an independent Data Safety Monitoring Committee (DSMC).
Participants who do not receive ATA3219 for any cause may be replaced. Participants who experience an adverse event (AE) prior to completion of the 28-day DLT observation period will not be replaced. If a participant is treated with ATA3219 and discontinues for any reason other than a DLT prior to completing the 28-day DLT observation period, an additional participant may be enrolled at the dose level to ensure that the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D) can be determined. In rare situations, retreatment of participants with inadequate renal response may be considered.
After treatment is completed or discontinued, participants will be followed for safety and renal response for up to 24 months from the last dose of ATA3219. A separate long-term follow-up study will be conducted to follow participants for up to a total of 15 years after their last dose of ATA3219.

- Has not achieved a CRR after first-line therapy after a minimum of 12 months.
-
Is using a stable, optimized dose of a renin angiotensin system inhibitor for at least 4 weeks prior to enrollment, unless deemed inappropriate by the investigator.

- Has a concurrent systemic autoimmune disease that may confound study assessments other than SLE, LN, or cutaneous lupus erythematosus.
- Has any unstable or progressive manifestation of SLE that is likely to warrant an intensification of lupus-directed therapy
- Has a history of confirmed or suspected drug-induced lupus.
- Has a history of catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome, or any history of prior thrombosis due to antiphospholipid syndrome resulting in hospitalization due to myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, or stroke.
- Has a history of bleeding disorder requiring hospitalization or systemic therapeutic intervention within the previous 3 months, or for participants without a prior kidney biopsy meeting eligibility criterion within the past 6 months who will require a biopsy during screening, any contraindication to kidney biopsy.
