About this trial
This is an open label, single-site, dose-escalation study in up to 12 participants with relapsed or refractory Neurological Autoimmune Diseases. This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the treatment with universal CD19/BCMA CAR T-cells.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
The number and severity of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) events
DLT will be graded according to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 5.0, and the ASTCT Consensus Grading for Cytokine Release Syndrome and Neurologic Toxicity Associated with Immune Effector Cells.
The total number, incidence, and severity of AEs
Secondary outcomes
NMOSD、MS: Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) score
EDSS and its associated functional system (FS) score provide a system for quantifying disability and monitoring changes in the level of disability over time. EDSS is a scale for assessing neurologic impairment in multiple sclerosis (MS). It consists of 7 FS (visual FS, brainstem FS, pyramidal FS, cerebellar FS, sensory FS, bowel and bladder FS, and cerebral FS) which are used to derive EDSS score ranging from 0 (normal neurological exam) to 10 (death from MS). A negative change from baseline indicates improvement. A participant was considered to have a worsening in overall EDSS score of at least 2 if baseline EDSS score was 0, or at least 1 point if baseline EDSS score is 1 to 5, or at least 0.5 point if baseline EDSS score is 5.5 or more.
NMOSD、MS: Modified Rankin Scale
Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) is a profoundly valid and reliable measure of disability and is broadly utilized for assessing stroke outcomes and degree of disability. We characterized a favorable outcome as mRS ranging from zero up to two, while unfavorable outcome ranging for 3 up to 6.
MG: Quantitative Myasthenia Gravis Score (QMG)
The QMG score is a 13-item scale used to quantify disease severity in myasthenia gravis. The scale measures ocular, bulbar, respiratory, and limb function, grading each finding, and ranges from 0 (no myasthenic findings) to 39 (maximal myasthenic deficits).
MG: Myasthenia Gravis Activities if Daily Living (MG-ADL) Score
The MG-ADL is an eight-question survey of symptom severity, with each response graded from 0 (normal) to 3 (most severe). Two questions concern ocular, three oropharyngeal, one respiratory, and two extremity functions. Cumulative MG-ADL scores range from 0 to 24
