Clinical Trials

A Phase 1/2, Two-part, Open-label Dose-escalation and Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Dose-expansion Study With an Open-label Extension to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of ATA188 in Subjects With Progressive Multiple Sclerosis

Lead Researcher: Andrew D Goodman

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of ATA188 as a monotherapy in Parts 1 and 2, to determine the recommended Part 2 dose (RP2D) of ATA188 as monotherapy in Part 1, and to evaluate the effect of ATA188 treatment on clinical disability, as assessed by sustained Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) improvement at 12 months in Part 2 in participants with progressive forms of multiple sclerosis (MS) (primary progressive multiple sclerosis [PPMS] and secondary progressive multiple sclerosis [SPMS]).

Lead Researcher: Andrew D Goodman

Determine the difference in disability at 16 weeks in participants with anti-N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor (NMDAR) encephalitis treated with "first-line" immunomodulatory therapies provided as standard-of-care, and either inebilizumab (investigational agent) or placebo. Inclusion Criteria 1. Diagnosis of NMDAR encephalitis 2. Age ≥ 18 years 3. Change in mental status
