About this trial
This is a single-center, open-label, exploratory clinical study designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of IASO207 Injection (in vivo CAR-T) in patients with active refractory systemic lupus erythematosus.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Subjects aged 18-75 years old, regardless of gender.
Subjects diagnosed with active refractory SLE: a) Confirmed by the 2019 European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)/American College of Rheumatology (ACR) classification criteria or the 2012 Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Collaborative Clinic (SLICC) criteria for at least 24 weeks; b) SLE Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score ≥ 8, with at least 1 organ system having a BILAG-2004 A-class activity score at screening, or 2 organ systems having a BILAG-2004 B-class activity score; c) Previously treated with standardized glucocorticoids and at least two immunosuppressants/adjusters, antimalarial drugs or biologics for at least 3 months.
Positive for disease-related pathogenic antibodies: Anti-nuclear antibody (ANA) positive and/or anti-dsDNA positive and/or anti-Smith positive.
Allowed to use ≤ 20mg/d prednisone or equivalent dose of corticosteroids at screening, and use at a stable dose for at least 2 weeks. Note: Local or inhaled corticosteroids (or its immunomodulators) can be used concurrently;
Disqualifiers
Diagnosed with drug-induced SLE.
Complicated with other autoimmune diseases that may affect the assessment of the study, including but not limited to Sjögren's syndrome, psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis.
Had a catastrophic antiphospholipid syndrome or developed a severe antiphospholipid syndrome within 1 year before screening.
The study disease involved neurological symptoms with a BILAG-2004 activity score of class A.

Treatments tested in this trial
IASO207 Injection
DrugIASO207 is a third-generation replication-deficient self-inactivating lentiviral vector that carries the gene encoding a second-generation anti-human CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CD19 CAR) containing the 4-1BB co-stimulatory factor. IASO207 has been engineered through surface modification of the lentiviral envelope to enable it to selectively bind and transduce T cells within the body, thereby directly generating CD19 CAR-T cells in vivo.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Safety endpoint - Adverse Events (AEs)
Incidence and severity of adverse events as assessed by NCI-CTCAE v5.0 (except CRS and ICANS assessed according to the criteria of 2019 ASTCT criteria).
Safety endpoint - The incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT)
Percentage of participants who experienced DLT within 28 days after IASO207 administration
Secondary outcomes
Efficacy endpoint - Response rate of SRI-4 after infusion
SLE Responder Index (SRI)-4 is defined as follows with all criteria compared with Baseline: 1. ≥ 4-point reduction in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index 2000 (SLEDAI-2K) score. 2. No worsening of the overall condition (\< 0.3 point increase in Physician's Global Assessment \[PhGA\]). 3. No new British Isles Lupus Assessment Group (BILAG) A or more than 1 new BILAG B disease activity scores.
Efficacy endpoint - lupus low disease activity state (LLDAS) rate through 2 years after infusion
Proportions of subjects achieving LLDAS at each time point
Efficacy endpoint - Definitions of Remission in SLE (DORIS) rate through 2 years after infusion
Proportions of subjects achieving remission according to the DORIS as assessed by SLEDAI-2K Scale, PhGA score and concomitant medication use
Efficacy endpoint - The changes in SLEDAI-2K scores
At each visit site, the patients were scored using the SLEDAI-2K, and then the changes in scores compared between each visit point and the baseline score were evaluated
Other outcomes
Immunogenicity
Prevalence and titer of confirmed human anti-CAR antibodies in peripheral blood.
Replication competent lentivirus (RCL)
Prevalence of replication-competent lentivirus (RCL) in peripheral blood.
Virus shedding
Presence of viral shedding in body fluid samples (urine, feces, and saliva)
