About this trial
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of CC-97540 in relapsed or refractory severe antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Able to voluntarily provide written informed consent prior to the performance of any study-specific procedures.
Classification as granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) or microscopic polyangiitis (MPA) per the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) / European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) 2022 definitions (Robson et al., 2022, Suppiah et al., 2022) (see Appendix A).
Current or historical positive proteinase 3 (PR3) or myeloperoxidase (MPO) antibody testing or a cytoplasmic (cANCA) or perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (pANCA) immunofluorescence pattern. (Antibodies and immunofluorescence may currently be negative.)
Relapsed disease (BVASv3 > 0 following prior remission) despite standard-of-care treatment per the ACR/Vasculitis Foundation (VF) Guidelines for the Management of ANCA-Associated Vasculitis (Chung et al., 2021), or
Disqualifiers
Current or historical positivity for a glomerular basement membrane antibody.
ANCA-associated vasculitis deemed drug-induced or cocaine/levamisole-associated.
Treatment of relapsing disease with rituximab or other B cell-depleting therapy for the current episode of relapsed vasculitis. Prior rituximab use for a prior episode (flare) of vasculitis activity is permitted.
Parkinson's disease, epilepsy, aphasia, cerebellar disease.

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Safety of CC-97540 in ANCA-Associated Vasculitis
The occurrence of DLT is the primary endpoint and will be assessed for all patients treated at the expansion dose.
Efficacy of CC-97540
This will be determined by the percentage of participants in treatment-free remission defined as a BVASv3 of 0 off immunosuppressive therapy.
Secondary outcomes
Number of Adverse Events
Adverse events will be classified and graded according to the CTCAE v.5.0. This will be determined by the proportion of participants experiencing treatment-related serious AEs.
6 Months Treatment-Free Remission
Determined by the percentage of participants in treatment-free remission.
6 Months Sustained Treatment-Free Remission
Determined by the percentage of participants in sustained treatment-free remission BVASv3 of 0 without use of immunosuppressive therapy since CAR T cell infusion.
12 Months Sustained Treatment-Free Remission
Determined by the percentage of participants in sustained treatment-free remission at 12 months following infusion of CC-97540.
