ClinConnect Summary

The CALiPSO-1 trial is studying a new treatment called CNTY-101 for people who have serious autoimmune diseases, specifically systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and lupus nephritis (LN), and who have not responded well to other treatments. This is a Phase 1 trial, meaning it’s one of the early stages of testing a new drug to check its safety and effectiveness. To participate, individuals must have a diagnosis of SLE for at least six months and show certain lab results indicating active disease. The trial is open to adults of all genders and ages starting from 6209 years.

Participants in this trial can expect to receive close monitoring to ensure their safety while taking the treatment. They will also undergo various assessments to gauge how well the drug works against their autoimmune condition. However, there are specific criteria that may prevent someone from joining, such as having certain severe health issues or other complications from lupus. Overall, this study aims to find out if CNTY-101 can help manage these challenging autoimmune diseases more effectively.

• 3. For Polymyositis (PM)/ necrotizing myopathy (NM), meet 2017 ACR/ EULAR classification criteria for definite or probable PM/NM and meet one of the following criteria:
• • i. Positive myositis specific antibody (MSA) at Screening or per medical history or ii. Muscle biopsy at Screening or per medical history available for review

• • 6. Participants with severe hepatic dysfunction, defined as grade C-Child-Pugh.
• SLE-specific Exclusion Criteria:
• • 1. Participants with BILAG A for neuropsychiatric SLE.
• • 2. Any current, acute, and severe lupus-related flare that needs immediate treatment.
