CAR T-Cell Therapy Shows Lasting Improvements in Stiff Person Syndrome, Study at CU Anschutz Finds

Kyverna Therapeutics' experimental CAR T-cell therapy, mivocabtagene autoleucel (miv-cel), showed lasting improvements in stiff person syndrome (SPS) patients in a phase 2 trial led by CU Anschutz. One year post-treatment, patients demonstrated significant mobility improvements, reduced muscle stiffness, and less dependence on walking aids. Kyverna plans to submit a BLA in Q4 2026, potentially making miv-cel the first FDA-approved treatment for SPS.
