SUMMARY

This is an open-label, multi-center, multi-cohort, non-randomized Phase 1 study to determine the safety and tolerability of NKX019 (allogeneic CAR NK cells targeting CD19) in participants with Immune-Mediated Diseases (IMD) including systemic sclerosis \[SSc\], idiopathic inflammatory myopathies \[IIM\], and antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis \[AAV\].
