About this study
Official title: A Phase 1/2, Open-label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Autologous CD19-specific Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells (CABA-201) in Subjects With Active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
RESET-SLE: A Phase 1/2 Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of CABA-201 in Subjects With Active Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Read the detailed description
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by autoantibody production and abnormal B cell function. SLE presents with fluctuating severity and may cause tissue damage in a variety of organs over time. Lupus nephritis (LN) (renal involvement) is a common severe manifestation of SLE, which can lead to significant morbidity and mortality. This study is being conducted to evaluate the safety and efficacy of an investigational cell therapy, CABA-201, also called resecabtagene autoleucel, or "rese-cel". Rese-cel can be given to patients with either LN or SLE without renal involvement, in two separate parallel cohorts, who have active disease. Initially a single dose of CABA-201 in patients pretreated with a standard regimen including cyclophosphamide (CY) and fludarabine (FLU), will be evaluated. In addition, escalating doses of CABA-201 will be evaluated in patients without CY and FLU pretreatment.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1/2 study testing CABA-201 in people with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus and Lupus Nephritis, run by Cabaletta Bio at 23 sites in 3 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Oct 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 23 sites in United States, Canada, Spain. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this combined phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Cabaletta Bio (267 759 3100 ext. 4444, clinicaltrials@cabalettabio.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
To evaluate incidence of adverse events (time frame: Up to 28 days after CABA-201 infusion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 6 Oct 2026.
