Cartesian Therapeutics Inc. announced that the FDA has accepted its IND application for a Phase 2 clinical trial of Descartes-08 in myositis. The trial will assess the safety and efficacy of Descartes-08 in patients with moderate to severe multi-refractory dermatomyositis and antisynthetase syndrome, starting in the first half of 2026. This approval allows for a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial, with potential for a seamless transition to a pivotal study based on interim results.
