About this trial

This study is a preliminary investigation, with a single-group design, not randomized and transparent, focusing on treatment. Its purpose is to identify the highest dose of BH002 injection (CD19-BCMA CAR-T cells) that patients suffering from resistant systemic lupus erythematosus can tolerate.

Eligibility criteria

    Biological/Vaccine

    The intervention in this clinical trial involves a novel approach using CD19/BCMA-Chimeric Antigen Receptor T (CAR T) cells combined with chemotherapy. The goal is to assess safety and efficacy in patients with specific hematologic malignancies. Treatment Regimen: Patients in the trial will undergo the following regimen: Fludarabine Phosphate (Days -4 to -2): IV administration of fludarabine phosphate over 30 minutes on days -4 to -2. It's part of the preparatory regimen to enhance the body's response to CAR T-cell therapy. Cyclophosphamide (Day -2): IV cyclophosphamide over 60 minutes on day -2. CD19/BCMA-Chimeric Antigen Receptor T Cells (Day 0): IV administration of investigational therapy, CD19/BCMA-CAR T cells, over 10-20 minutes on day 0. Additional Doses: Eligible patients responding well to the initial CD19/BCMA-CAR T cell infusion without unacceptable side effects and sufficient CAR T cell availability may receive 2 or 3 additional doses.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Incidence and severity of dose limiting toxicities (DLTs) following chemotherapy preparative regimen and infusion of CD19/BCMA chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells

Will be recorded and graded according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03 at three dose levels until the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is determined.

Time frame
28 days

Secondary outcomes

1

Rate of successful manufacture and expansion of the CD19/BCMA chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells

satisfy the targeted dose level and meet the required release specifications outlined in the Certificate of Analysis (COA)

Time frame
10-14 days after apheresis or thawing of cryopreserved peripheral blood mononuclear cell
