CALiPSO-1 is a Phase 1, multi-centre, dose-confirmation study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CNTY-101 in participants with refractory B cell-mediated autoimmune diseases including those with moderate to severe systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with or without lupus nephritis (LN), idiopathic inflammatory myopathies (IIM), and diffuse cutaneous systemic sclerosis (DcSSc).
