Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Age 18 years to ≤60 years (inclusive) at screening.
- Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score 3.0 - 6.5 (inclusive) at screening.
- Diagnosis of primary progressive multiple sclerosis (PPMS), secondary progressive multiple sclerosis (non-active or active), or Relapsing MS (RMS).
- Documented evidence of disability progression independent of relapse (PIRA) at any point over the 12 months prior to the screening visit.
- Between age 18 and 65 years, inclusive at the time of signing the informed consent.
- EDSS score between 2.0 and 7.0 at screening, inclusive (for higher EDSS, the Investigator must assess that the participant is reasonably able to participate in the study).
- Diagnosis of anti-aquaporin-4 immunoglobulin G (AQP4-IgG) seropositive at screening (verified by the allocated central laboratory) and Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder (NMOSD).
- Must meet the appropriate NMOSD treatment washout criteria prior to receiving lymphodepletion.
- Age ≥18 and ≤70 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent.
- Diagnosed with gMG at least 1 year prior to the date of signing the informed consent.
- Confirmation of MG Diagnosis:
- Positive serologic test for anti-acetylcholine receptor (AChR) antibodies or anti-muscle-specific kinase (MuSK) antibodies confirmed at screening AND
- One of the following (either historical or during screening):
- Abnormal neuromuscular transmission test demonstrated by single-fiber electromyography or repetitive nerve stimulation.
- Positive anticholinesterase test (e.g., edrophonium chloride test).
- +6 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- History of malignancy that has not been in remission for at least 2 years.
- Viral Screening
- Evidence of chronic active or history of hepatitis B virus (HBV).
- Seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody.
- History of bone marrow/hematopoietic stem cell or solid organ transplantation.
- Prior treatment with adoptive T-cell therapy or any gene therapy product directed at any target (e.g. CAR T-cell therapy).
