Overview

This is an investigator-initiated trial designed to evaluate the safety, and efficacy of HN2301 in Relapsing and refractory systemic lupus erythematosus

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Patients aged between 18 and 69 (inclusive), of any gender, diagnosed with SLE according to the 2019 EULAR/ACR SLE diagnostic criteria;
2. A history of SLE for at least 6 months, having used a stable standard treatment regimen for at least 8 weeks, with the dosage stabilized for 2 weeks, yet the disease remains active or has relapsed; Standard treatment refers to the stable use of the following drugs alone or in combination: non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antimalarials, corticosteroids; immunosuppressants including cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, leflunomide, tacrolimus, cyclosporine, etc.; targeted drugs include belimumab, rituxima, eculizumab, rituximab, etc.
3. Oral corticosteroids are prednisone (or equivalent drug) ≥7.5mg/day and ≤30mg/day. If used in combination with immunosuppressants, there is no minimum daily dose requirement;
4. At least two immunosuppressants have been used in a standardized manner (including hydroxychloroquine);
5. Screening period tests meet: positive blood antinuclear antibody (ANA), and/or positive anti-ds-DNA antibodies, and/or hypocomplementemia;
6. Screening period SLEDAI-2K score ≥6 points. If scoring includes low complement and/or anti-ds-DNA antibodies, the score for SLEDAI-2K clinical symptoms (excluding low complement and/or anti-ds-DNA antibodies) should be ≥4 points;
7. Appropriate bone marrow, coagulation, cardiopulmonary, liver, and kidney functions. Bone marrow function: ANC ≥1.5×10^9/L, ALC ≥0.8×10^9/L, Hb ≥80g/L. No use of transfusions and growth factors allowed within 7 days prior to screening to meet these requirements. Coagulation function: INR or APTT ≤1.5×ULN. Cardiac function: Echocardiography (ECHO) assessment of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥40%. Lung function: ≤CTCAE grade 1 dyspnea and SpO2 ≥92% (measured by pulse oximetry) while breathing indoor air. Liver function: ALT and AST ≤2.5×ULN, total bilirubin <2.0mg/dL (Gilbert syndrome subjects total bilirubin <3.0mg/dL). Kidney function: defined as creatinine clearance rate (Cockcroft-Gault) ≥50mL/min without need for fluid assistance;
8. Non-pregnant/non-lactating participants, willing to adopt contraceptive measures within 12 months after drug infusion.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Individuals with positive Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and/or Hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb), and Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA positivity or titers above the detection threshold; those with positive Hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies and HCV RNA positivity or titers above the detection threshold; individuals with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) antibodies positivity, CMV DNA positivity or above the detection limit; those with positive syphilis antigen or antibodies;
2. Presence of other uncontrolled active infections;
3. History of major organ transplantation (such as heart, lung, liver, kidney) or bone marrow/hematopoietic stem cell transplantation;
4. Pregnant or breastfeeding women;
5. Receiving any mRNA-LNP product or other LNP medications within the past two years;
6. History of any of the following cardiovascular diseases within the last 6 months before screening: Class 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 cardiac diseases;
7. History of live vaccine administration within the last 30 days;
8. Individuals with asthma, severe allergies;
9. Other conditions deemed inappropriate for participation in this clinical study by the investigator.
