Nkarta, Inc. (Nasdaq: NKTX) has announced the initiation of an investigator-sponsored trial (IST) of NKX019, their allogeneic, CD19-directed CAR NK-cell therapy, for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The trial, led by Dr. Anca D. Askanase at Columbia University Irving Medical Center, will enroll up to 6 SLE patients, regardless of renal involvement. This IST complements Nkarta's ongoing Phase 1 Ntrust-1 trial of NKX019 in lupus nephritis patients.

Patients will receive NKX019 on Days 0, 7, and 14 following lymphodepletion with cyclophosphamide. Nkarta believes NKX019's reduced-toxicity regimen could potentially benefit a broader patient population, including those with less advanced disease.
