Refractory Myasthenia Gravis
Conditions
Brief summary
This is an investigator-initiated trial designed to evaluate the safety, and efficacy of HN2301 in refractory myasthenia gravis
Detailed description
This study is a prospective exploratory clinical trial in subjects with refractory myasthenia gravis. The objective is to evaluate the safety, initial efficacy of HN2301injection in refractory myasthenia gravis.
Interventions
Description: Three dose groups were set up, starting from the low dose group and climbing to explore the safe and effective dose.

| Adverse events related to HN2301 | 3 months | Incidence and severity of AEs associated with HN2301 as assessed by CTCAE v5. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| vivo CAR T cell production | Day-28 to14 days | Assessment of CAR T production (CAR expression ratio in T cells) in the peripheral blood of MG patients by flow cytometry (FACS) |
| B cell ratio and counts in peripheral blood | Day-28 to12 months | Assessment of B cell ratio and counts (B cell counts per μl peripheral blood) and B cell subsets(naive B cell, memory B cell) by flow cytometry (FACS) in peripheral blood |
| Change from baseline of MG-ADL score after HN2301 administration. | Day-28 to12 months | 1. Assessment of MG-ADL score from baseline administration at various timepoints up to month 12 follow-up visit. A total score can fall between 0 and 24 with a higher score representing a more significant degree of disease activity. 2. Proportion of patients achieving a ≥2-point reduction in MG-ADL score following HN2301 administration. |
| Change from baseline of MGC score after HN2301 administration. | Day-28 to12 months | 1. Assessment of MGC score from baseline administration at various timepoints up to month 12 follow-up visit. A total score can fall between 0 and 50 with a higher score representing a more significant degree of disease activity. 2. Proportion of patients achieving a ≥3-point reduction in MGC score following HN2301 administration. |
| Change from baseline of QMG score after HN2301 administration. | Day-28 to12 months | 1. Assessment of QMG from baseline administration at various timepoints up to month 12 follow-up visit. A total score can fall between 0 and 32, with a higher score representing a more significant degree of disease activity. 2. Proportion of patients achieving a ≥3-point reduction in QMG score following HN2301 administration. |
| Change from baseline of MG-QOL15r score after HN2301 administration. | Day-28 to12 months | Assessment of MG-QOL15r from baseline administration at various timepoints up to month 12 follow-up visit. A total score can fall between 0 and 100, with a lower score representing a more significant degree of disease activity. |
