This study examines the safety and efficacy of a cell therapy called CT103A in people with relapsed or refractory antibody-mediated inflammatory diseases of the nervous system, using cyclophosphamide and fludarabine as preparation. It enrolls patients aged 18 to 75 with diagnoses such as NMOSD, myasthenia gravis, or CIDP whose disease is not adequately controlled by available treatments. The study is in Early Phase 1 and is still recruiting participants.
The summary above is a plain-language rendering of the official record. The original English title is shown for reference.
Criteria are reproduced from the ClinicalTrials.gov record in the original English. Only the trial team can determine eligibility.
