Safety and Efficacy of BAFF-R CART for Refractory Neuroimmune Diseases
Sponsor: Tianjin Medical University General Hospital
Summary
This study is a phase Ib/IIa dose-escalation study designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of autologous T cells expressing chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-targeted B-cell activating factor receptor (BAFFR) in refractory neuroimmune diseases. The study design is divided into two parts, the first of which will be given to each patient at 3 incremental dose levels to establish the maximum tolerated dose (MTD). Each disease is expected to enroll 12 patients who meet the inclusion criteria. In the second part, 15 patients per disease will be recruited to further characterize the efficacy of the MTD.

BAFF-R CART
Biological: BAFF-R CART cells Subjects will undergo leukapheresis to isolate peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) to manufacture BAFF-R CART cells, during which cyclophosphamide will be administered for the purpose of lymphocytes depletion. After lymphodepletion, subjects will receive one dose treatment with BAFF-R CART cells by intravenous (IV) infusion. The initial dose of 0.5×10\^6 CART cells/kg will be infused on day 0. Drug: Cyclophosphamide and fludarabine Subjects will receive one 3-day cycle of lymphodepletion starting 4 days prior to BAFF-R CART cells infusion on Day 0. Subjects will be given IV infusion of cyclophosphamide 250 mg/m2/day on day -5, -4 and -3, and fludarabine 30 mg/m2 over 30 minutes administered immediately after cyclophosphamide.
