BCMA-CD19 cCAR T for the Treatment of Refractory Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD)

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic, immune-mediated disease of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. IBD may result in GI lesions as well as extraintestinal manifestations affecting the joints, skin, eyes, and biliary system. IBD is driven by humoral immune cells including B cells, plasma cells and long-lived plasma cells. ICG318 CAR-T, the investigational agent in this clinical trial, is an armored, compound chimeric antigen receptor (cCAR) composed of two independently functioning CARs that target the CD19 surface antigen and the BCMA surface antigen on B cells and plasma/long-lived plasma cells, respectively. This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ICG318 CAR-T in patients with refractory IBD. A single dose of ICG318 CAR-T will be evaluated after cyclophosphamide and fludarabine lymphodepletion.
