This study will assess the safety and preliminary efficacy of the bi-specific TCE, alnuctamab (known as BMS-986349, CC-93269, EM901), targeting BCMA in patients with moderate to severe SLE, refractory to standard-of-care treatments.
The purpose of this research study is for researchers to learn if the investigational therapy called alnuctamab (known as BMS-986349, CC-93269, EM901) is safe and effective to treat refractory Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). CC-93269 is investigational, which means its safety and effectiveness have not been established and it is not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for SLE. This will be the first study testing CC-93269 in SLE. Alnuctumab is a type of treatment known as a T cell engager. It is a special protein engineered in the laboratory, which is able to attach to T cells, a type of white blood cell that can kill other cells in the body. T cells normally protect the body from infections, for example by destroying the cells where the virus hides. In this case, alnuctumab will redirect T cells to a new target, called the plasma B cell. This is a type of white blood cell that plays an important role in activating the autoimmune response in patients with lupus. By linking T cells to the autoimmune plasma B cells, alnuctumab will allow the removal of these pathogenic cells. The goal is to evaluate whether this will be sufficient and safe to treat lupus.

The study drug will be given as an injection under the skin. For the first 9 days after the CC-93269 injection, subjects will be staying in the hospital. The goal of this study is to determine the optimal dose of CC-93269 to be safely administered to participants.

RECRUITINGNumber of treatment emergent AEs
Type, frequency, and severity of treatment emergent AEs, SAEs, DLTs, and AEs of special interest (e.g., CRS, ICANS)
Time frame: 9 days
Maximum concentration of Alnuctamab
The maximum concentration of Alnuctamab (Cmax) following multiple subcutaneous (SC) administrations in participants with moderate to severe SLE refractory to standard therapy
Time frame: 0-29 days
Change in SLE Responder Index (SRI) rate
SLE Responder Index (SRI) rate at Week 24, Week 52 compared to baseline SRI is defined as the proportion of participants achieving ≥4 point reduction in SLEDAI-2K \[Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index\], with no new A organ domain score, ≤ 1 new BILAG \[British Isles Lupus Assessment Group\] B score, and no worsening of the Physician Global Assessment (PGA) score SLEDAI-2K: Total score ranges from 0-105 with higher score indicating greater disease activity BILAG: B Score implies need for a modest dose of steroids. PGA: Score range from -3 (poorer health outcome) to 3 (better health outcome)
Time frame: Baseline, Week 24 and Week 52
