About this trial
This investigator-initiated trial aims to assess the efficacy and safety of combination therapy using universal CAR-T cells targeting BCMA and CD19 in refractory lupus nephritis.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Aged 18-65 years; both genders eligible.
Subjects diagnosed with lupus nephritis.
Previous treatment outcomes were unsatisfactory.
Diagnosis of active nephritis type III or IV with or without type V according to 2018 International Society of Nephrology and Society of Renal Pathology (ISN/RPS) criteria.
Disqualifiers
History of solid organ transplantation.
Malignant tumor within the last two years.
Positive for Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or Hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb), with peripheral blood Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA detected as positive; positive for Hepatitis C virus antibodies, with peripheral blood Hepatitis C virus RNA detected as positive; positive for Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) antibodies; positive for Cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA; positive for syphilis.
Primary immunodeficiency (congenital or acquired).

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
AEs
The total number, incidence, and severity of AE
Secondary outcomes
ORR (CR and PR)
Complete response (CR) was defined as serum creatinine ≤ 1.2 mg/dl or ≤ 125% of baseline value, and urine protein/creatinine ratio \< 0.5 or 24-hour urine protein quantification \< 0.5 g, and prednisone dose reduction to ≤ 10 mg/d (or equivalent dose). Partial response (PR) was defined as if both serum creatinine and urine protein/creatinine ratio (or 24-hour urine protein quantification) were abnormal before treatment, both items improved by \> 30% after treatment, without other indicators of deterioration; if only urine protein/creatinine ratio (or 24-hour urine protein quantification) was abnormal before treatment, the improvement was \> 50% after treatment.
Other outcomes
PK/PD
Changes and duration of CAR gene copy number and CAR-T cell number in peripheral blood after BCMA CART and CD19 CART infusion
