The Safety and Efficacy of KSVCBD Injection in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder.

An Early Exploratory Clinical Study on the Safety and Efficacy of KSVCBD Injection in the Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory AQP4 Antibody-Positive Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder.

KSVCBD injection is an in vivo Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-Cell (CAR-T cell) therapy product. This is a multi-center, single-arm, open-label, early exploratory clinical study. The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of KSVCBD injection in AQP4-positive Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder

KSVCBD-R103 is an open-label study in subjects with NMOSD. The dose-escalation will be conducted to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of KSVCBD. This study consists of a screening period, a treatment period and a follow-up period. During treatment period, the subjects will receive single-dose of KSVCBD injection. The duration of participation for each subject will be approximately 104 weeks.
