About this trial

This is a phase I/II study to assess safety, efficacy, and cellular kinetics of YTB323 in participants with treatment-resistant generalized myasthenia gravis. YTB323 is a Biological CAR-T cell therapy.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

History of abnormal neuromuscular transmission test demonstrated by repetitive nerve stimulation or single-fiber electromyography

History of positive acetylcholinesterase inhibitor test

Improvement in MG signs on an oral acetylcholinesterase inhibitor as assessed by the treating physician

MGFA Class III-IVa (gMG) at screening

Disqualifiers

Exclusively ocular myasthenia gravis (MGFA I), mild symptoms (MGFA II), or severe bulbar disease or MG crisis, MGFA Class IVb or V at screening

History of bone marrow/hematopoietic stem cell or solid organ transplantation.

Clinically significant active, opportunistic, chronic or recurrent infection (including positive for hepatitis B or hepatitis C) confirmed by clinical evidence, imaging, or positive laboratory tests one month prior to leukapheresis

Other uncontrolled disease states, such as asthma, or inflammatory bowel disease, where flares are commonly treated with oral or parenteral corticosteroids, at screening
