A Study of mRNA Encoding CD19/CD3 T Cell Engager (ABO2203) in Patients With Refractory Autoimmune Diseases

March 22, 2026 updated by: Ruijin Hospital

A Clinical Study to Investigate Safety, Tolerability, and Preliminary Efficacy of mRNA Encoding CD19/CD3 T Cell Engager (ABO2203) in Patients With Refractory Autoimmune Diseases

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, as well as preliminary efficacy of mRNA encoding CD19/CD3 T cell engager (ABO2203) in patients with refractory autoimmune diseases who received inadequate response or relapsed from standard of care (SoC). The trial included dose escalation and dose expansion parts.
