About this trial

This study evaluates the safety and efficacy of YTS109 cells in adults with relapsed/refractory autoimmune diseases, such as Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), including LN and SLE-ITP, Sjogren's Syndrome, etc. Aproximately 18 patients aged 18-65 will receive a single infusion of YTS109 cells. The dose groups are set to commence at 3E6 STAR -T cells/kg, employing a 3+3 escalation principle for dose titration. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety of YTS109 cells therapy in treating recurrent/refractory autoimmune diseases, while the secondary objectives are to assess the efficacy of YTS109 cells as well as their pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics. The primary endpoint is observations of types, severity, and frequency of adverse events (AEs) and efficacy assessment. This single-arm, open-label trial will enroll patients across Institute of Hematology \& Blood Diseases Hospital.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

1. Types, severity, and frequency of adverse events (AEs); 2. Incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT).

Time frame
The efficacy endpoint evaluation for 2, 4, 8, 12 weeks, AEs observation will be follow-up for 24 weeks. The observation period is extended to 52 weeks.

Secondary outcomes

1

Efficacy Evaluation in relapsed/refractory autoimmune diseases

The proportion of subjects achieving complete response (CR), partial response (PR), or other responses at week 12.

Time frame
2, 4, 8, 12 weeks, and the observation will continue until 24 to 52 weeks post-treatment.
2

Maximum Plasma Concentration of YTS109 (Cmax)

To evaluate the metabolic characteristics of YTS109

Time frame
The detections will be conducted on day0, 4, 7, 10, and weeks 2, 3, 4, 8, 12. Then, observation will continue until 12 to 24 weeks post-treatment.
3

Area Under the Plasma Concentration-Time Curve (AUC) of YTS109

To evaluate the metabolic characteristics of YTS109

Time frame
The detections will be conducted on day0, 4, 7, 10, and weeks 2, 3, 4, 8, 12. Then, observation will continue until 12 to 24 weeks post-treatment.
4

Time to Reach Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of YTS109

To evaluate the metabolic characteristics of YTS109

Time frame
The detections will be conducted on day0, 4, 7, 10, and weeks 2, 3, 4, 8, 12. Then, observation will continue until 12 to 24 weeks post-treatment.
