About this trial

This is a Phase I clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CD19-targeted CAR-T in the treatment of refractory juvenile dermatomyositis (RJDM).The experiment was divided into two phases: dose exploration (Part A) and dose extension (Part B).

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age: ≥5 years and <17 years old

To meet the diagnostic criteria of JDM, four or five of the following criteria must be met:① symmetrical proximal muscle weakness; ②Characteristic skin changes, including positive dermatitis (purplish red rash on upper eyelid with periorbital edema) and Gottron papules (red patchy squamous papules on the back of knuckles); ③ The level of one muscle enzyme in serum was increased; ④ Positive myositis antibody; ⑤Electromyography shows denervation and myopathy; ⑥ Muscle biopsies showed necrosis and inflammation.

The classification criteria of RJDM must meet ① and any of the criteria②-④: ① Patients who are intolerant or unresponsive to glucocorticoids and at least 2 immunosuppressants, adequate hormone therapy and duration of at least 6 months; ② The disease progresses rapidly and/or involves organs such as lungs, heart and gastrointestinal tract; ③ Calcification of subcutaneous or muscle and joint tissues; ④ Repeated rashes or skin ulcers.

myositis specific antibody positive, defined as MDA-5, NXP2, TIF-1γ, Ro-52 and any other positive;

Had previously received CAR T cell therapy;

Have other autoimmune or rheumatic diseases other than JDM;

primary immunodeficiency or severe secondary immunodeficiency that has not been corrected;

accompanied by serious infectious diseases, including but not limited to active tuberculosis, latent tuberculosis infection, active viral hepatitis, etc.;

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

To evaluate the safety of CAR-T in the treatment of refractory juvenile dermatomyositis [Safety and Tolerability]

The incidence of adverse events after CAR-T cell infusion was assessed by the National Cancer Institute's Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, version 5.0).including the type, frequency and severity of adverse events

Time frame
28 days
2

To evaluate the efficacy of CAR-T in the treatment of refractory juvenile dermatomyositis [Effectiveness]

Disease improvement rate: The number of subjects who achieved disease improvement as a percentage of all subjects who received transfusions.

Time frame
2month,3months
3

Duration of Response (DOR) of CAR-T treatment in the treatment of refractory juvenile dermatomyositis [Effectiveness]

DOR will be assessed from the first assessment of remission to the first assessment of recurrence or progression of the disease or death from any cause

Time frame
2 years

Secondary outcomes

1

AUCS of CD19 CAR-T cells [Cell dynamics]

AUCS is defined as the area under the curve in 90 days

Time frame
3 months
2

CMAX of CD19 CAR-T cells [Cell dynamics]

CMAX is defined as the highest concentration of CEA CAR-T cells expanded in peripheral blood

Time frame
3 months
3

TMAX of CD19 CAR-T cells[Cell dynamics]

TMAX is defined as the time to reach the highest concentration

Time frame
3 months

Other outcomes

1

Weight in kilograms were monitored after transfusion until subjects reached 18 years of age

Time frame
2 years
2

To evaluate the effects of CD19-targeting CAR T cell preparations on the height of children

Height in meters were monitored after transfusion until subjects reached 18 years of age

Time frame
