Brief summary

This is a prospective, single-arm, open-label and dose-escalation investigator initialed study to evaluate LUCAR-G79D in adult subjects with r/r SLE and r/r IIM.

Detailed description

This is a prospective, single-arm, open-label clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy profiles of LUCAR-G79D, a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) -T cell therapy in subjects with r/r SLE and r/r IIM. Patients who meet the eligibility criteria will receive LUCAR-G79D infusion. The study will include the following sequential stages: screening, pre-treatment (lymphodepleting chemotherapy), treatment (LUCAR-G79D infusion) and follow-up.

Interventions

BIOLOGICALLUCAR-G79D T cells

Prior to infusion of the LUCAR-G79D T cells, subjects will receive a conditioning premedication regimen consisting of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) scores from baseline up to 52 weeks for r/r SLE subjects52 weeks after LUCAR-G79D infusion (Day 1)SLEDAI-2K is a scale ranging from 0 to 105 points, with higher scores indicating stronger disease activity
Change in manual muscle testing (MMT-8) scores from baseline up to 52 weeks for r/r IIM subjects52 weeks after LUCAR-G79D infusion (Day 1)MMT-8 is a scale ranging from 0 to 80 points, with higher scores indicating greater preserved muscle strength
Changes from baseline in peripheral blood immunoglobulins from baseline up to 52 weeks for all subjects52 weeks after LUCAR-G79D infusion (Day 1)Including IgG、IgM、IgA、IgE
Changes from baseline in anti-drug antibody from baseline up to 52 weeks for all subjects52 weeks after LUCAR-G79D infusion (Day 1)
