Study Design

Total Participants: 27
Treatment Group(s): 1
Primary Treatment: RXIM002 product
Phase: 1
Study Start date:
December 24, 2025
Estimated Completion Date:
March 19, 2028

Study Description

This Phase 1, open-label, single-arm, dose-escalation study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, immunogenicity, and preliminary efficacy of RXIM002 in adults with severe, relapsed, or refractory B cell-mediated autoimmune diseases. Eligible participants will receive intravenous administration of RXIM002 and will be monitored for adverse events, laboratory parameters, and other safety outcomes. The study will also explore biological activity and potential clinical responses across the enrolled autoimmune conditions. Participants will be followed for a defined period after treatment to assess longer-term safety and durability of any observed effects. The study will include the following sequential phases: screening, treatment, and follow-up.
