Overview

A study to assess safety, cellular kinetics and exploratory efficacy of rapcabtagene autoleucel in rheumatoid arthritis and Sjogren's disease

Description

The study is intended to assess safety, cellular kinetics and any early sign for efficacy of rapcabtagene autoleucel in participants with difficult-to-treat rheumatoid arthritis (D2T RA) and severe, refractory Sjogren's disease (srSjD) with organ involvement.
