Safety and Efficacy Study of CC312 for Moderate to Severe SLE

A Phase I Study to Evaluate the Safety, Efficacy, Pharmacokinetics, and Immunogenicity of CC312 in Patients With Moderate-to-Severe Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Safety and Efficacy Study of CC312 for Moderate to Severe SLE (NCT07177911) is a Phase 1 interventional studying SLE - Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, sponsored by CytoCares Inc. RECRUITING as of the most recent ClinicalTrials.gov update. Talk to your doctor before contacting the trial site.

About This Trial

This study is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase I clinical trial featuring single and multiple ascending doses. It is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), pharmacodynamics (PD), immunogenicity, and preliminary efficacy of CC312 in adult patients with moderate to severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For SLE - Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 32 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)

Who May Qualify: - Fully understand the trial's purpose, nature, methodology, and potential adverse reactions, voluntarily participate as a subject, and sign the willing to sign a consent form form. - Aged 18 to 65 years (inclusive, based on the date of signing the willing to sign a consent form form), regardless of gender. - Diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) according to the 2019 EULAR/ACR classification criteria. - SLEDAI-2000 score ≥7 with at least one BILAG A or two BILAG B domains, despite standard therapy. - Meet at least one of the following criteria: positive antinuclear antibody (ANA) ≥1:80 at screening, positive anti-dsDNA antibody at screening, or positive anti-Sm antibody at screening. - Have had an inadequate response to at least two standard therapies (e.g., corticosteroids, antimalarials, immunosuppressants, biologics) prior to screening, including at least one immunosuppressant and/or biologic. Prior to the first dose, subjects must have been on a stable dose of corticosteroids (e.g., ≤40 mg/day prednisone or equivalent at screening and during the screening period; if used alone, ≥7.5 mg/day prednisone or equivalent) and/or antimalarials and/or immunosuppressants for at least 12 weeks, with doses stable for ≥30 days. - Females of childbearing potential must agree to use highly effective contraception from screening until 6 months after the last dose and refrain from oocyte collection or donation during this period. Their male partners of childbearing potential must also use effective contraception. - Males of childbearing potential must agree to use highly effective contraception from screening until 6 months after the last dose, with no plans for fertility or sperm donation. Their female partners of childbearing potential must also use effective contraception during this period.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
