Testing a new treatment for hidradenitis suppurativa

A Phase 1 Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics, Pharmacodynamics, and Activity of Single Ascending Doses of SBT777101 in Subjects With Hidradenitis Suppurativa

Phase 1 Interventional Sonoma Biotherapeutics, Inc. · NCT06361836

This study is testing a new treatment using the patient's own immune cells to see if it can help reduce inflammation in people with hidradenitis suppurativa.

What this trial studies

This study evaluates the safety and effects of SBT777101, a novel regulatory T cell therapy, administered as a single dose to patients with hidradenitis suppurativa. The therapy utilizes the patient's own Treg cells to target and reduce inflammation in affected tissues. The study will begin with lower doses to assess safety before increasing to higher doses. Participants will be monitored for their response to the treatment and any potential side effects.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are adults with moderate-to-severe hidradenitis suppurativa who have not responded adequately to previous treatments.

Not a fit: Patients with complex presentations of hidradenitis suppurativa or those with other inflammatory autoimmune diseases may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly reduce inflammation and improve the quality of life for patients with hidradenitis suppurativa.

How similar studies have performed: While this approach is novel, similar therapies targeting regulatory T cells have shown promise in other autoimmune conditions, suggesting potential for success.
