About This Trial

This is a single-center, open-label, non-randomized, single-arm clinical trial. Patients with refractory lupus neritis (SLE-LN), systemic sclerosis (SSc), and primary Sjogren syndrome combined with pulmonary artery hypertension (pSS-PAH receive umbilical cord blood CD19-BCMA CAR T cell therapy. The primary objective is to prospectively assess the safety of umbilical cord blood CD19BCMA CAR T cell therapy in patients with refractory lupus nephritis (SLE-LN), systemic sclerosis (SSc), and primaryjogren syndrome combined with pulmonary artery hypertension. The primary endpoint is the type and incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) within 28 days after theusion of umbilical cord blood CD19-BCMA CAR T cells. It is anticipated that 45-54 participants will be recruited.

What Stage of Research Is This?

Phase 1 trials test a new treatment for the first time in humans, focusing on safety, dosing, and how the body processes the drug. For Refractory Lupus Nephritis, a Phase 1 study typically enrolls a small number of participants — often healthy volunteers or patients who have exhausted standard treatment options. Phase 1 results determine whether a treatment moves into larger Phase 2 efficacy studies.

This trial is currently recruiting participants. The sponsor has registered the study with ClinicalTrials.gov as actively enrolling, which means new applicants who meet the eligibility criteria can be considered for screening. Trial status can change between updates — confirm current recruiting status with the study contact before traveling for a screening visit.

With a target enrollment of 45 participants, this is a small study — typical of early-phase research, rare-disease trials, or pilot studies designed to generate preliminary signal before a larger study is launched.

Is participating in a clinical trial safe?

Clinical trials in the United States are regulated by the FDA and overseen by Institutional Review Boards (IRBs) that review the protocol for safety. Risk varies by trial — Phase 1 studies test new treatments in humans for the first time, while Phase 3 trials use treatments that have already passed earlier safety screening. The informed consent document for any specific trial details the known risks and what to expect. Discuss those risks with your physician before deciding whether to participate.
