ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment called MC-1-50, which uses specially modified immune cells to help patients with a severe form of a disease called Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). SLE is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system attacks its own tissues, and this trial specifically targets patients who have not responded well to other treatments. The main goals of the trial are to check how safe this new treatment is, how well it works, and to find the right dose for future studies.

To be eligible for this trial, participants must be at least 18 years old and have been diagnosed with SLE that has not improved despite receiving other medications. They should also have certain test results that indicate active disease. Participants can expect to receive the MC-1-50 treatment and will be monitored closely for any side effects or changes in their condition. It’s important to note that the trial is not yet recruiting participants, so there will be more information provided as it begins.

• • 4. SLEDAI-2K score ≥7 points;
• • 5. Autoantibody test results are positive: ANA antibody positive and/or serum anti-DSDNA positive;
• 6. Adequate renal, hepatic, pulmonary and cardiac function defined as:
• • 1. Cardiac function: Echocardiography indicates left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 50%;
• • 2. Renal function: serum creatinine ≤ 2.0 × ULN, or creatinine clearance rate ≥ 60ml/min (Cockcroft Gault formula);
• • 3. Hepatic function: ALT and AST ≤ 3.0 × ULN (may be relaxed to ≤ 3.0 × ULN in cases of combined liver infiltration);
• • 4. Total bilirubin ≤ 2.0 × ULN (Gilbert syndrome requires total bilirubin ≤ 3.0 × ULN);

• • 9. Women of childbearing age who have a negative blood pregnancy test and all subjects agree to use reliable and effective contraceptive methods (excluding safe period contraception) for contraception within one year after receiving MC-1-50 cell infusion from the time of signing the informed consent form. Including but not limited to: abstinence, implantable progestogen contraceptives that can inhibit ovulation; Intrauterine device (IUD); Intrauterine hormone release system; Spouse vasectomy; Compound hormone contraceptives that can inhibit ovulation (oral, vaginal, and transdermal); Progesterone contraceptives (oral or injectable) that can inhibit ovulation; When male subjects have sex with fertile women, they must agree to use barrier contraception (such as condom plus spermicidal foam/gel/film/emulsion/suppository). At the same time, participants should commit not to donate eggs (oocytes, oocytes) or sperm for assisted reproduction within one year after cell infusion.
• Exclusion Criteria:
• • 1. There were severe active central nervous system lupus that required therapeutic intervention at the time of screening;
• • 2. Acute severe nephritis: had or was undergoing renal replacement therapy within 3 months prior to reinfusion, or had significant renal deterioration that the investigator believed was likely to cause the subject to require high doses of corticosteroids (prednisone ≥1mg/kg/ day or equivalent of other hormones), cyclophosphamide, or mycophanate during the first 3 months of the study;Clinical stable lupus nephritis that can be controlled during screening can be considered;
• • 3. There were other lupus crises that were not controlled at the time of screening;
• • 4. Individuals who have received CAR-T therapy or other gene modified cell therapies;
• • 5. Combined with other autoimmune diseases requiring systemic treatment;
• • 6. HBsAg or HBcAb positive and HBV DNA test greater than the normal range;HCV antibody positive and HCV RNA detection greater than the normal range;HIV antibody positive;Treponema pallidum antibody positive;
• 7. Suffered from any of the following heart diseases:

• • 13. (attenuated) Live vaccine ≤ 4 weeks prior to screening;
• • 14. Have participated in other clinical trials within one month or five drug half lives (whichever is shorter) before enrollment;
• • 15. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, and male or female subjects who plan to have children within 1 year after receiving MC-1-50 cell infusion;
• • 16. Other situations considered by the investigator to be unsuitable to participate in the study.
