Overview
This is a prospective, single-arm, open-label and dose-escalation Investigator Initialed study to evaluate LUCAR-G79 in adult subjects with relapsed/refractory autoimmune diseases.
Description
This is a prospective, single-arm, open-label clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics and efficacy profiles of LUCAR-G79, a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) -T cell therapy in subjects with relapsed/refractory autoimmune diseases. Patients who meet the eligibility criteria will receive LUCAR-G79 infusion. The study will include the following sequential stages: screening, pre-treatment (lymphodepleting chemotherapy), treatment (LUCAR-G79 infusion) and follow-up.
