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 volunteersQualifiers
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;
Trial design

Secondary outcomes
Phase I: Objective response rate (ORR)
Proportions of subjects achieving SLE Responder Index (SRI)-4 response.
Phase I: Long-term Adverse events (AEs)
Total number, incidence and severity of AEs from 30 days to 2 years after CD19 CAR T infusion will be recorded.
Phase I: Pharmacokinetics
The proliferation and survival of CD19 CAR T cells will be measured by flow cytometry and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR).
Phase II: Adverse events (AEs)
The incidence and severity of adverse events.
