Brief summary
This is a prospective, single-center, open-label, single-arm study, to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Anti-BCMA chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy（BCMA CAR-T）for patients with relapse/refractory Immune thrombocytopenia(R/R ITP).
Detailed description
Immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is a disorder that can lead to easy or excessive bruising and bleeding. Approximately two-thirds of patients achieve remission after/during first-line therapies. However, the other part of patients could not achieve durable remission or even refractory to initial treatments. Those cases, known as relapse/refractory Immune thrombocytopenia (R/R ITP), undergo the heavy burden of disease which decreases the quality of life. Lots of pathogeneses take part in the occurrence of R/R ITP, and the most important one of them is antibody-mediated immune platelet destruction. As far as it is known，human platelet autoantibodies are mainly secreted by plasma cells, especially long-lived plasma cells. Researchers want to explore that can BCMA CAR-T help R/R ITP patients increase platelet count, reduce bleeding episodes and the dose of concomitant medications.
Interventions
BIOLOGICALautologous anti-BCMA chimeric antigen receptor T cells
Lymphoadenodepletion chemotherapy with FC (fludarabine 30mg/ m2 for 3 consecutive days and cyclophosphamide 300mg/m2 for 3 consecutive days) will be given at day -5, -4 and -3 before CAR T-cells infusion. A total of 1.0-2.0×10e7/Kg autologous anti-BCMA CAR T-cells will be infused by dose-escalation after the lymphoadenodepletion chemotherapy. Dose of CAR T-cells are allowed to be adjusted according to the severity of cytokine release syndrome.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| overall response | 6-months | The number of participants who achieved CR (defined as platelet count≥100x10e9/L) and PR (defined as platelet count ≥30x10e9/L and at least a 2-fold increase the baseline count and absence of bleeding) at follow-up. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Duration of response | 6-months | Period from the achievement of response to the loss of response. |
| Incidence of adverse events | 6-months | Adverse events will be assessed daily during the first 2 weeks after the BCMA CAR-T treatment, and monthly thereafter. Adverse events will be evaluated according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 5.0. |
| Time to response | 6-months | Time since infusion of CAR T-cells to the time to achieve the response. |
| Evaluation of concomitant therapy | 6-months | Duration of discontinuation or dose reduction of concomitant treatment，and the degree of decrease of combined treatment from the baseline in patients. |
| Evaluation of health-related quality of life | 6-months | Health-related quality of life will be evaluated according to ITP-PAQ (Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia Patient Assessment Questionnaire). |
| Evaluation of bleeding events | 6-months | Bleeding events will be evaluated according to Bleeding rating system of ITP('Chinese guideline on the diagnosis and management of adult primary immune thrombocytopenia (version 2020)'). |
