About this trial

This study is a single-arm, single-center, open-label, dose-escalation exploratory clinical study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of CD19 CAR-γδ T cells. The subjects enrolled in this study are patients with relapsed/refractory autoimmune nephropathy, including lupus nephritis, IgA nephropathy, and membranous nephropathy. This study adopts a standard "3+3" design to assess the recommended dose (RD) and identify dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs). The treatment process is as follows: subjects who meet the inclusion criteria will receive lymphodepletion conditioning, followed by a single intravenous infusion of CD19 CAR-γδ T cells. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety profile of this cellular therapy, including the incidence of DLTs, maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or RD, as well as the incidence and severity of treatment-related adverse events and clinically significant abnormal laboratory test results after CAR-γδ T cell infusion (including the incidence of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) and immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS)). The planned follow-up duration of this study is 1 years.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • CD19 CAR-γδ T cell

    Biological/Vaccine

    Prior to CAR-γδ T cell infusion, patients will receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy consisting of cyclophosphamide combined with fludarabine, followed by infusion of CD19 CAR-γδ T cells at the assigned dose level per their dose-escalation cohort, with target total cell doses of 3×10\^7, 1×10\^8, and 3×10\^8 cells, respectively.

Time frame
Day 0 to Day 28 post-infusion
2

Incidence of Adverse Events (AEs)

Evaluation of the number, frequency, and severity of all adverse events, including Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs), Treatment-Related Adverse Events (TRAEs), and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs).

Time frame
Up to Month 12 post-infusion

Secondary outcomes

1

Preliminary Clinical Efficacy for Lupus Nephritis

Proportion of subjects achieving complete renal response, major renal response, and partial renal response.
