In plain English
This is an open-label study (everyone knows what treatment they are getting) testing a medicine called AZD0120 in adults aged 18 to 60 with multiple sclerosis (MS), a condition where the immune system affects the nerves. It includes people with relapsing MS (relapsing-remitting MS or active secondary progressive MS) and people with progressive MS (primary progressive MS or non-relapsing secondary progressive MS). The study is sponsored by AstraZeneca.
Who can take part
- Aged 18 to 60 when agreeing to take part
- Able to give written informed consent
- Generally healthy body function at screening
- For the relapsing MS group: a diagnosis of relapsing MS (including active secondary progressive MS), a disability score (EDSS) of 6.5 or less, and either signs of active disease (relapses or changes on MRI scans within the past 2 years) or intolerance to a strong disease-modifying therapy taken for at least 6 months
- For the progressive MS group: a diagnosis of primary progressive MS or non-relapsing secondary progressive MS, a disability score (EDSS) between 3.0 and 6.5, and either not responding well or being intolerant to at least one strong disease-modifying therapy taken for at least 6 months
Who may not be able to
- Previous treatment with CAR-T or CAR-NK cell therapies
- Spleen removed within the past 12 months
- Ever had a solid organ transplant, or on a transplant waiting list
- Previous stem cell transplant (using your own cells) or total lymphoid irradiation
- Serious heart conditions that would make taking part too risky
- Other nervous system conditions, such as epilepsy, stroke, severe brain injury, dementia, Parkinson's disease, psychosis, or a history of seizures
- A significant psychiatric condition, now or in the past
- Another immune-mediated disease needing long-term immune-suppressing treatment
- Significant bleeding problems within 90 days before screening
- History of cancer or current cancer treatment
- Born with an immune system problem (primary immunodeficiency)
- Positive for HIV or HTLV, or active viral hepatitis (including hepatitis B or C)
- Major surgery within 4 weeks before a procedure called apheresis or lymphodepletion, or surgery planned during the study or within 4 weeks after treatment
- Pregnant, breastfeeding, or planning a pregnancy during the study or within 1 year after treatment (whichever is longer)
- Unable or unsafe to have lumbar punctures (spinal fluid tests) or MRI scans
What taking part involves
- • Taking the study medicine AZD0120 — Not stated — ask the trial team for details on how it is given and how often
- • The study mentions procedures including apheresis (collecting cells from your blood), lymphodepletion (treatment to lower some immune cells), lumbar punctures (spinal fluid tests), and MRI scans
Time commitment: Not stated — ask the trial team about how many visits are needed, how long the study lasts, and what taking part involves.

About This Trial
This trial is a Phase 1b, open-label, multi-center, clinical study of AZD0120, a BCMA/CD19 dual targeting CAR+ T-cell therapy, to evaluate the safety and tolerability in adult participants with Multiple Sclerosis.
More detail
This study will evaluate AZD0120 for safety, including DLTs and TEAEs, by the SRC for determination of the Recommended Phase 2 dose for each disease cohort. Approximately 9-12 participants will be evaluated per disease cohort.
