MT2023-30: A Phase 1 Study of FT825/ONO-8250, an Off-the-Shelf CAR T-Cell Therapy, With or Without Monoclonal Antibodies, in HER2-Positive or Other Advanced Solid Tumors
The purpose of this study is to test the safety of FT825 at different doses and to understand the way the body processes and responds to FT825.

We want to learn more about how it affects other parts of our bodies, such as the heart, metabolism, the immune system, and the nervous system. We hope that by understanding how VNS affects the body as a whole, we can develop new treatments for other conditions, or help to improve its use for depression and epilepsy.

Observational Study Assessing for Effect of CREON on Symptoms of Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency (EPI) in Patients with EPI due to Chronic Pancreatitis (CP) (CisCP)
CP is a progressive fibro-inflammatory disease where EPI develops due to destruction of pancreatic parenchyma or pancreatic duct distortion. EPI results in maldigestion, leading to fat-soluble vitamin deficiencies, weight loss, malnutrition, and impaired quality of life (Qol). Signs and symptoms of EPI include abdominal bloating and cramping, diarrhea, foul-smelling, greasy stools (steatorrhea), and unintentional weight loss. Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy (PERT) is the mainstay of treatment of EPI. Treatment is aimed at reduction of maldigestion-related symptoms, and prevention of malnutrition and its related morbidity and mortality. CREON® is a PERT that has been FDA approved since 2009 for the treatment of EPI due to cystic fibrosis, CP, pancreatectomy, or other conditions

MT2017-17:T Cell receptor Alpha/Beta T Cell Depleted Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation in patients with Inherited Bone Marrow Failure (BMF) Disorders
The purpose of this study is to learn if removing the donor T cells from the donor product using this new method will be a better way to reduce the risk of GVHD. The benefit of removing these cells with this new method is that they will prevent GVHD without requiring drugs to suppress the immune system. Potentially, the immune system will recover from the transplant faster, which in turn will also lessen the risk of severe infections. As well, the patient will not have the other common undesired side effects of these immunosuppressive drugs.

MT2024-07:A Phase 1/2, Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Autologous CD19-specific Chimeric Antigen Receptor T cells (CABA-201) in Subjects with Active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (RESET-SLE)
The purpose of this study is to find out what dose of CABA-201 can be safely administered to patients with SLE, including those with lupus nephritis (LN). SLE is thought to involve B cells that cause the body to attack different tissues in the body including your skin, joints, kidneys, heart, lungs, brain, and blood cells. LN is a type of kidney disease caused by SLE. CABA-201 is a chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR T) therapy. In this study, we will take some of your T cells, a type of white blood cell, and genetically modify them (put in a “code”) so that they may find and remove the B cells in your body, including the B cells that are involved in causing your disease. Once your cells are modified, CABA-201 cells will be re-infused into your body intravenously (through the vein).
