Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Incidence of adverse events(AE) after infusion
The frequency, severity, and laboratory findings of all adverse events/serious adverse events are included.
Day 28, Month 2, Month 3, Month 6, Month 12, Month 18, Month 24
Maximal Tolerated Dose(MTD)
MTD will be determined based on Dose-Limiting Toxicity(DLTs) observed during the first 28 days of study treatment.
Up to 28 days after infusion]
Study Arms (1)
CD19/BCMA CAR-T for the treatment of refractory autoimmune diseases
EXPERIMENTALSubjects who meet the inclusion criteria will receive intravenous infusion of the CD19/BCMA-targeted CAR-T lentiviral vector drug. Following infusion, CD19/BCMA-targeted CAR-T cells will be generated in vivo.
Interventions
The CD19/BCMA-targeted CAR-T lentiviral vector drug is administered intravenously, and autologous CD19/BCMA-targeted CAR-T cells are produced in the patient's body following infusion.
Eligibility Criteria
