This is a Phase I clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CD19-targeted CAR-T in the treatment of refractory juvenile dermatomyositis (RJDM).The experiment was divided into two phases: dose exploration (Part A) and dose extension (Part B).
Age: ≥5 years and <17 years old
To meet the diagnostic criteria of JDM, four or five of the following criteria must be met:① symmetrical proximal muscle weakness; ②Characteristic skin changes, including positive dermatitis (purplish red rash on upper eyelid with periorbital edema) and Gottron papules (red patchy squamous papules on the back of knuckles); ③ The level of one muscle enzyme in serum was increased; ④ Positive myositis antibody; ⑤Electromyography shows denervation and myopathy; ⑥ Muscle biopsies showed necrosis and inflammation.
The classification criteria of RJDM must meet ① and any of the criteria②-④: ① Patients who are intolerant or unresponsive to glucocorticoids and at least 2 immunosuppressants, adequate hormone therapy and duration of at least 6 months; ② The disease progresses rapidly and/or involves organs such as lungs, heart and gastrointestinal tract; ③ Calcification of subcutaneous or muscle and joint tissues; ④ Repeated rashes or skin ulcers.
