About this trial
This is a open-label, exploratory trial to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and preliminary efficacy of RN1201, an Allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy, in patients with autoimmune diseases refractory to standard treatment. Eligible patients with moderate to severe activity of diseases will receive a single infusion of RN1201 following lymphodepletion. Primary endpoints include dose-limiting toxicity and treatment-emergent adverse events. Secondary and exploratory endpoints assess clinical response and cell pharmacokinetics.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Voluntary signed informed consent demonstrating understanding of the study and willingness/ability to comply with all trial procedures.
Age ≥18 years; both sexes eligible.
Documented diagnosis of an autoimmune disease for ≥6 months at screening, including but not limited to immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM), neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder (NMOSD), multiple sclerosis (MS), myasthenia gravis (MG), etc.
Standard-of-care therapy for ≥8 weeks before screening without achieving complete remission or adequate disease control, with stable dose for >2 weeks.
Disqualifiers
Known hypersensitivity, allergy, intolerance, or contraindication to RN1201 or any study drug component (fludarabine, cyclophosphamide, tocilizumab) or history of severe allergic reactions.
Severe cardiovascular disease or organ failure.
Active or uncontrolled infection requiring IV antibiotics or evidence of severe active infection.
Significant bleeding tendency (e.g., Gastrointestinal bleeding, coagulopathy, hypersplenism).
Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
allogeneic CAR-T
Biological/VaccineFludarabine injection (30 mg/m2,QD×3d) and cyclophosphamide injection (300 mg/m2,QD×3d)will be used to remove the lymphocyte before RN1201 infusion.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
The incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) and dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs)
TEAEs and DLTs will be graded according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v5.0 and American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy (ASTCT) consensus criteria
Secondary outcomes
Objective Response Rate (ORR), Disease control rate (DCR)
The responses will be assessed by predefined disease specific criteria.
Pharmacokinetic (PK) of RN1201
Levels of CAR-positive T cells in the blood and/or bone marrow
Pharmacodynamic (PD) of RN1201
Levels of B cells and related immune markers (e.g., serum immunoglobulins, autoantibodies) in peripheral blood and/or bone marrow, as indicators of B cell activity and depletion.
