Safety, Efficacy and Cellular Metabolic Dynamics of ct1192 in Patients With Moderate to Severe Refractory SLE

Recruiting now · Phase 1

Conditions studied: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)

In brief

A clinical study to explore the safety, efficacy and cell metabolic kinetics of universal CD19/20 car-t cell injection in moderate to severe refractory systemic lupus erythematosus. This study is a single arm, open, exploratory dose increasing clinical study, which aims to evaluate the safety, efficacy and cell metabolic dynamics of ct1192 cells in patients with SLE.

• Women with fertility (defined as all physiologically capable women) must agree to use effective contraceptive methods from at least 28 days prior to the start of vaginal discharge until 1 year after CT1192 infusion. Egg donation is strictly prohibited within 1 year after receiving the study treatment infusion during the study period. Male partners with fertility must agree to use effective barrier contraception methods from the start of vaginal discharge until 1 year after CT1192 infusion, and should not donate semen or sperm throughout the entire study period;
• Women with fertility must have a negative serum β - human chorionic gonadotropin (β - hCG) test result within 48 hours prior to screening and gonorrhea treatment.
• Prior to screening, patients must have received a combination of glucocorticoids and immunosuppressants (including cyclophosphamide, mycophenolate mofetil, tacrolimus, methotrexate, cyclosporine, leflunomide) and/or biologics for at least 3 months, with a stable dose for at least 2 weeks and the disease still active. During screening, oral steroids must meet the following requirements:
• If hormone therapy is used alone, prednisone (or equivalent medication) should be ≥ 7.5 mg/day; When used in combination with immunosuppressants and/or biologics, there is no minimum daily dose requirement for hormones; 7. Positive for anti nuclear antibodies, anti ds DNA antibodies, and/or anti Smith antibodies during screening; 8. During the screening period, if the SLEDAI-2K score is ≥ 7 points, or if there is significant organ dysfunction, such as severe immune thrombocytopenia or lupus nephritis (histologically diagnosed as active nephritis type III or IV with or without type V); 9. Active organ involvement during screening (including kidneys, heart and lungs, musculoskeletal system, blood system, blood vessels, etc.; skin and mucosal involvement alone cannot be included); 10. Adequate organ function:
• Renal function: defined as a creatinine clearance rate (Cockcroft Gault) calculated without hydration assistance of ≥ 50 mL/min;
• Bone marrow function: defined as neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.0 × 109/L and hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 60 g/L. Blood transfusions and growth factors must not be used to meet these requirements within 7 days prior to eligibility screening;
• Liver function: defined as alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN), total bilirubin ≤ 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN)
• Coagulation function: defined as International Normalized Ratio (INR) or Activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (APTT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN;
• Pulmonary function: Blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) ≥ 92% in indoor air (measured by pulse oximeter);
• Cardiac function: defined as a left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of ≥ 50% evaluated by echocardiography (ECHO) within the first 8 weeks of screening.

You may not qualify if…

• Have undergone plasma exchange, plasma separation, hemodialysis within 30 days prior to screening, or have had lupus crisis within 30 days prior to screening;
• Individuals with a history of ≥ grade 2 bleeding or requiring long-term anticoagulant therapy within the 30 days prior to screening;
• Screening for a history of any of the following cardiovascular diseases within the previous 30 days: Grade III or IV heart failure defined by the New York Heart Association (NYHA), myocardial infarction, unstable angina, uncontrolled or symptomatic atrial arrhythmias, any ventricular arrhythmias, or other clinically significant heart diseases;
