Summary

This trial will test the safety and effectiveness of AB-101 combined with rituximab in treating B-cell related autoimmune diseases like Rheumatoid Arthritis, Pemphigus Vulgaris

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with autoimmune diseases like Pemphigus, Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, and Granulomatosis where B-cells are involved. Participants must have a condition where Rituximab is approved or recommended.
What is being tested?
The study tests the combination of AB-101 with Rituximab against autoimmune diseases affecting B-cells. It's an open-label trial at a single center to assess if this combo improves patient outcomes.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to immune system suppression such as increased infection risk, infusion-related reactions from Rituximab, and potential toxicity from Cyclophosphamide and Fludarabine.
