A Clinical Study of TI-0032-III Injection in Patients With Relapsed and Refractory Autoimmune Diseases (NCT07413341) is a Phase 1 interventional studying Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Sjogren's Syndrome (SS), sponsored by Therorna.

About This Trial

This is an open-label, dose escalation study in patients with relapsed and refractory autoimmune diseases. Study drug, TI-0032-III injection, is composed of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) targeting T cells that encapsulate circular RNA encoding the CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), which is a therapeutic biological product. It is clinically intended for the treatment of various relapsed and refractory B cell-related autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, sjögren's syndrome, systemic sclerosis, idiopathic inflammatory myositis, and antiphospholipid syndrome.

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 Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), 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 12 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.

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.
