Clinical Trial Summary

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) tends to progress to involve multiple vital organs within 5 years of diagnosis, significantly impacting patient prognosis and survival. Clinical indications suggest that early intervention is more favorable for long-term outcomes in patients. Although guidelines recommend various drugs for symptomatic treatment, there is currently no standard therapy or effective medication to slow the progression of the disease. Therefore, for patients with diffuse SSc, as defined by a skin score of 10≤mRSS≤30 points, who have been treated with at least two therapies, including steroids, immunosuppressive agents, biologics, etc., within 5 years of diagnosis, the applicant intends to develop a drug that can both modulate the immune system and counteract fibrosis. The goal is to provide long-term benefits to patients through early intervention.


Description:

This clinical trial is a multicenter Phase I/II clinical trial, which includes two stages: Phase I dose-escalation and Phase II dose-expansion. The Phase I dose-escalation stage adopts a single-arm trial design, aiming to explore the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of RY_SW01 cell injection in treating patients with systemic sclerosis. The Phase II dose-expansion stage adopts a randomized, double-blind controlled trial design, intending to explore the safety, efficacy, and changes in disease-related biomarkers of RY_SW01 cell injection in treating systemic sclerosis patients. Based on the characteristics of this product and pre-clinical study data, as well as integrating the safety and efficacy data of similar types of drugs and clinical trials for the same or similar indications published domestically and internationally, the researchers and sponsors jointly selected the trial exploration doses as low dose 1.0×10^6 cells/kg and high dose 2.0×10^6 cells/kg. The trial will enroll systemic sclerosis patients aged ≥18 and ≤65 years, who must meet all inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria. Approximately 81-87 subjects are planned to be enrolled to undergo dose-escalation and dose-expansion trials with RY_SW01 cell injection. The dose-escalation stage plans to enroll 6-12 evaluable subjects, and the dose-expansion stage plans to enroll 75 subjects.

Renal function abnormalities: Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60mL/min/1.73m2 or any clinically significant laboratory abnormalities that may affect the interpretation of study data or the subject's participation in the study as determined by the investigator. 6. Positive testing for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody, active syphilis, active hepatitis C (positive HCV antibodies and positive HCV-RNA), HBsAg positive and HBV-DNA positive at screening; history of severe active bacterial, viral, fungal, parasitic, or other infections during the screening period. 7. Receipt of live vaccines/attenuated vaccines within 2 months prior to enrollment. 8. Occurrence of any of the following within 3 months prior to enrollment: a. Major trauma or major surgery (including joint surgery) or anticipated major surgery during the study, which the investigator believes would pose an unacceptable risk to the subject. b. Plasma exchange or extracorporeal photopheresis treatment. c. Participation in any other clinical trials. 9. Prior treatment with stem cell-related drugs. 10. History of any malignancy within the past 5 years prior to enrollment, except for adequately treated or excised basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, or in situ cervical carcinoma. 11. Intolerance or contraindication to the study treatment, including any of the following: a. Allergy to albumin contained in the investigational product excipient. b. Lack of suitable peripheral venous access. 12. History of smoking, alcohol abuse, or drug abuse within the past 12 months or during the screening period: 1. Smoking defined as an average daily consumption of =5 cigarettes within the 3 months prior to screening. 2. Alcohol abuse defined as consuming more than 14 units of alcohol per week (1 unit of alcohol = 350ml of beer, or 45ml of spirits, or 150ml of wine) within the 3 months prior to screening. 3. Drug abuse defined as having a history of drug abuse. 13. Plans for conception during the trial period until at least 1 year after cell infusion, unwillingness to use effective contraceptive measures with their partners, or plans for sperm or egg donation. 14. Deemed unsuitable for participation in the study by the investigator.
