About this trial

This study is a single center, open label exploratory clinical trial aimed at evaluating the safety and efficacy of autologous CD19 CAR-T therapy in subjects with autoimmune diseases.

The study will adopt the traditional dose escalation model "3+3" design, with three dose groups set up, starting at a dose of 0.5 × 106 CAR+T cells/kg, to observe DLT, and conduct a 24 month safety and efficacy follow-up after cell infusion to observe the safety of autologous CD19 CAR-T and conduct preliminary efficacy evaluation.

Three dose groups were set up, with dose group 1 as the starting dose, following the traditional 3+3 design rule for a single intravenous infusion:

Dose group dosage unit (CAR+T cells/kg) Acceptable dose range Expected sample size (± 30%, CAR+T cells/kg)

1. 0.5 × 106 0.4 × 106\~0.6 × 106 3-6 cases 2. 1.0 × 106 0.7 × 106\~1.3 × 106 3-6 cases 3. 2.0 × 106 1.4 × 106\~2.6 × 106 3-6 cases Dose escalation rule The enrollment starts from dose group 1, and if no DLT occurs in the 3 subjects included, they will be transferred to the next dose group. If one of the three subjects in a certain dose group develops DLT, three additional subjects will be added to the group for cell infusion at the same dose. If there is ≥ 1 case of DLT in the 3 additional cases, it will be reduced to the previous dose group. If there are only 3 subjects in the previous dose group at this time, an additional 3 subjects need to be added for the trial; If there are already 6 subjects in the previous dose group, the trial ends and this dose is the maximum tolerated dose (MTD).

Dose escalation is not allowed for the same subject. For safety reasons, the last subject in the previous dose group was observed for at least 28 days after autologous CD19 CAR-T infusion without DLT. The Safety Review Committee (SRC) held a meeting to decide whether to increase to the next dose group.

During the dose escalation phase, SRC determines whether to continue increasing the dose or explore more subjects in a previously explored dose group based on the safety, efficacy, and pharmacokinetic (PK) results obtained for each dose group, and determines the recommended dose (RD) for subsequent studies.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

Age range of 18 to 65 years old (including 18 and 65 years old), gender is not limited;

According to the 2019 European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)/American College of Rheumatology (ACR) SLE classification criteria, the diagnosis is SLE;

Positive for anti nuclear antibody (ANA) (titer ≥ 1:80), and/or positive for anti dsDNA antibody, and/or positive for anti Sm antibody during screening;

The definition of moderate to severe activity is: SLEDAI-2000 score ≥ 8 during screening; If there is a low complement and/or anti dsDNA antibody score, the clinical symptom score for SLEDAI-2000 (excluding low complement and/or anti dsDNA antibodies) must be ≥ 6 points;

Disqualifiers

Cervical carcinoma in situ that has been cured or has not recurred for at least 2 years, non-invasive basal cell or squamous cell skin cancer, locally treated prostate cancer, and ductal carcinoma in situ after radical surgery are excluded;

Within the past 3 months, severe pulmonary diseases such as moderate to severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (average pulmonary arterial pressure detected by echocardiography>60 mmHg) require oxygen mask therapy or non-invasive or invasive ventilator assisted breathing during screening; During screening, IgA, IgG, and IgM levels were below the lower limit of normal (LLN);

Individuals who have used B-cell depletion therapy within the previous month and have not failed treatment as assessed by clinical physicians, including those targeting CD20, CD22, CD52, CD38, BCMA monoclonal antibodies, or bispecific antibodies;

Screening for excessive use of human intravenous immunoglobulin within the previous month;
