About this trial
This is an open-label, dose escalation study in patients with relapsed and refractory autoimmune diseases. Study drug, TI-0032-III injection, is composed of lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) targeting T cells that encapsulate circular RNA encoding the CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR), which is a therapeutic biological product. It is clinically intended for the treatment of various relapsed and refractory B cell-related autoimmune diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, sjögren's syndrome, systemic sclerosis, idiopathic inflammatory myositis, and antiphospholipid syndrome.
