What This Trial Is Studying

This trial aims to find out if obe-cel gets rid of harmful B cells that contribute to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)/lupus nephritis (LN) when available treatments have not worked (refractory). The trial includes only 1 group of patients (single arm), including adolescent and adult patients aged 12 to 65 years. The objective is to look for benefits of obe-cel in making signs of LN completely disappear (remission) at 6 months after obe-cel treatment in patients with severe, active LN. The trial will also look for other benefits of obe-cel for…
