Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study is an open-label, multiple ascending dose investigator-initiated trial (IIT) designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK), and preliminary efficacy of CC312 in adult patients with relapsed or refractory autoimmune diseases.

CC312

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

CC312

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

CC312 is administered twice weekly (BIW) on Day 1 and Day 4 of each week for a 4-week treatment period. After Day 28, subsequent dosing (including the decision to continue treatment, dosing frequency, and treatment duration) will be determined based on the subject's clinical response and B-cell depletion status. The maximum planned treatment period is 24 weeks, followed by a follow-up phase.
