BOSTON, April 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Imviva Biotech, a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing next-generation allogeneic CAR-T cell therapies, today announced that it will present clinical data from its ongoing open-label Phase 1/2 study of CTA313, a CD19/BCMA dual-targeted allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy, at the American Society of Gene & Cell Therapy’s Annual Meeting (ASGCT 2026). The conference is taking place May 11-15, 2026, in Boston, Massachusetts. The study evaluates CTA313 in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).
Ben Capoccia, Director of Translational Medicine and Clinical Research at Imviva Biotech, will present results from a study of SLE patients treated with a single administration of CTA313, demonstrating rapid and profound B-cell depletion, followed by an immunologic profile consistent with an immune-reset mechanism.

About CTA313
CTA313 is an investigational dual-targeting CD19/BCMA allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy derived from healthy donors and designed for B-cell-mediated autoimmune diseases. The product incorporates Imviva's proprietary ANSWER™ inhibitory ligands and genetic edits to enhance resistance to host immune rejection and enable therapeutic durability. CTA313 can be manufactured in advance and stored for multiple patients, providing an off-the-shelf solution for patients in need of CAR-T cell therapy. The therapy has been evaluated in an open-label Phase 1/2 study across multiple autoimmune indications in China, including systemic lupus erythematosus, lupus nephritis, systemic sclerosis, anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis, and idiopathic inflammatory myopathy.
