About this trial

The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of CD19 CAR T cells in the treatment of Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Male or female, aged 3-65 years.

Have a diagnosis of SLE and meet the classification criteria of 2019 European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) and the American College of Rheumatology (ACR).

Positive antinuclear antibody (ANA): ANA at a titer of ≥ 1:80 on Hep-2 cells or equivalent positive test (ever) and/or a positive anti-dsDNA serum antibody test (based on ELISA assay, ≥ 30 IU/mL).

CD19+ on B cells and continuous withdrawal of the immunosuppressive drugs for more than 1 week.

Disqualifiers

Intracranial pressure elevation was above 15 mmHg;

Organic encephalopathy syndrome, cerebrovascular accident, encephalitis or central nervous system vasculitis, visual impairment, and other brain lesions requiring intervention.

Previously documented left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) by echocardiography of <45% in the 12 months;

Abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG): left bundle branch block, bifascicular block or any clinically meaningful ECG abnormality;
