Fourth-gen CAR T Cells Targeting BCMA/CD19 for Refractory Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

Summary

This study is a preliminary investigation, with a single-group design, not randomized and transparent, focusing on treatment. Its purpose is to identify the highest dose of BH002 injection (CD19-BCMA CAR-T cells) that patients suffering from resistant systemic lupus erythematosus can tolerate.

* Hemoglobin≥85 g/L.
* WBC≥2.5×10\^9/L.
* NEUT≥1×10\^9/L.
* BPC≥50×10\^9/L.
* AST/ALT below 2 times the upper limit of normal; Creatinine clearance ≥30 mL/min; blood bilirubin ≤2.0 mg/dl; echocardiography indicates that the ejection fraction is ≥50%.

* Women of childbearing age should have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test at screening and baseline.
* Subjects agree to take effective contraceptive measures during the trial until at least 1 year after CAR-T cells infusion.
* Agree to attend follow-up visits as required.

* Received immunosuppressive therapy within 1 week prior to leukapheresis.
* Patients with HIV infection; Active infection of hepatitis B virus or hepatitis C virus.
* Patients with syphilis infection.
* The presence or suspicion of an active fungal, bacterial, viral or other infection that cannot be controlled during screening.
* Received live vaccine treatment within 4 weeks prior to screening.
