Study Arms (2)

DSG3-CAART

EXPERIMENTAL

Single or multiple intravenous infusion(s) of DSG3-CAART at varying dose levels. This study is now closed to enrollment.

Biological: DSG3-CAART

CABA-201

EXPERIMENTAL

Infusion of CABA-201 with or without cyclophosphamide and fludarabine preconditioning, or with or without cyclophosphamide preconditioning. This sub-study is open to enrollment.

Biological: CABA-201

Interventions

DSG3-CAARTBIOLOGICAL

Intravenous infusions of DSG3-CAART alone at different doses and different fractionations, with or without intravenous immunoglobulin, cyclophosphamide, and/or fludarabine.

DSG3-CAART
CABA-201BIOLOGICAL

Single intravenous infusion of CABA-201 at escalating doses, with or without preconditioning.

CABA-201

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Confirmed diagnosis of mPV by prior or screening biopsy and prior positive anti- DSG3 antibody ELISA
  • mPV inadequately managed by at least one standard immunosuppressive therapies
  • Active mPV at screening
  • Anti-DSG3 antibody ELISA positive at screening
  • Age ≥18
  • Confirmed diagnosis of PV by prior or screening biopsy and prior positive DSG3 ELISA, IIF, and/or DIF
  • PV inadequately managed by at least one standard immunosuppressive therapy
  • Active PV at screening
  • DSG3 ELISA positive at screening

You may not qualify if:

  • Active cutaneous lesions associated with PV that indicates mucocutaneous rather than mucosal-dominant disease
  • Rituximab in last 12 months unless PV symptoms have recently worsened or anti-DSG3 antibody titers have recently increased
  • Prednisone \> 0.25mg/kg/day
  • Other autoimmune disorder requiring immunosuppressive therapies
  • Investigational treatment in last 3 months
  • Have paraneoplastic pemphigus or active malignancy (not including non-melanoma skin cancer) or malignancy diagnosed within the previous 5 years
  • Have received rituximab or other anti-CD20 or anti-CD19 therapies in last 12 months unless anti-DSG3 antibody titers have recently increased or PV symptoms have recently worsened
  • Prednisone \> 0.25mg/kg/day
  • Other autoimmune disorder requiring immunosuppressive therapies
  • Treatment with any investigational agent within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer.
