Profile
Develops miv-cel (KYV-101), an autologous CD19-targeting CAR-T candidate for B-cell-driven autoimmune diseases. The clinical-stage company focuses first on neuroimmunology and is advancing studies in stiff person syndrome, generalized myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis.
Develops miv-cel (KYV-101), an autologous CD19-targeting CAR-T candidate for B-cell-driven autoimmune diseases. Initial neuroimmunology work centers on stiff person syndrome and generalized myasthenia gravis, while studies also cover multiple sclerosis and rheumatoid arthritis.
The program relies on a CAR construct licensed from the U.S. National Institutes of Health, an asset-origin choice that shaped the company's autoimmune focus. Founded in 2018, Kyverna operates from Emeryville, California, and adopted its current name in 2019. It is a clinical-stage business, so development progress and the conduct of its studies determine its operating frame.
