Frequently asked questions about KYV-101

What is KYV-101 used for?

KYV-101 is an investigational autologous fully-human anti-CD19 CAR T-cell immunotherapy being studied for autoimmune diseases including systemic sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, idiopathic inflammatory myopathies, and rheumatoid arthritis. It is in clinical development and has not been approved by the FDA.

What does KYV-101 target?

KYV-101 targets CD19, a protein found on B cells. As a CAR T-cell therapy, it is designed to recognize and eliminate CD19-expressing cells, which are implicated in autoimmune diseases. This mechanism is being evaluated in clinical trials for conditions such as systemic sclerosis and multiple sclerosis.

Who makes KYV-101?

KYV-101 is being developed by Kyverna Therapeutics, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on the Nasdaq under the ticker KYTX. The company is conducting clinical trials to evaluate the therapy in patients with various autoimmune diseases.

What phase is KYV-101 in?

KYV-101 is in Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials. It is an investigational therapy, meaning it has not been approved by the FDA. The trials are studying its safety and efficacy in autoimmune conditions such as systemic sclerosis, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis.

What clinical trials is KYV-101 in?

KYV-101 is being studied in several trials, including NCT06152172 (CARTIMMUNE) for autoimmune diseases, NCT06384976 (KYSA-7) for progressive multiple sclerosis, and NCT06475495 for rheumatoid arthritis. These trials are active but not recruiting, with enrollment ranging from 13 to 120 participants.

Is KYV-101 the same as KYV101?

Yes, KYV-101 is also known as KYV101. It is an autologous fully-human anti-CD19 CAR T-cell immunotherapy. The different spellings refer to the same investigational drug being developed by Kyverna Therapeutics for autoimmune diseases.
