Inclusion Criteria for Subjects with MN:

• Diagnosis of primary (idiopathic) membranous nephropathy confirmed by renal biopsy pathology (the renal biopsy must have been performed within 2 years prior to screening or during the screening period).
• Meeting the criteria for high-risk or relapsed/refractory membranous nephropathy:

High-risk patients, defined as meeting any of the following criteria:

• Normal eGFR with urine protein >3.5g/24h, a reduction of <50% in urine protein after 6 months of ACEI/ARB treatment, and serum albumin <25 g/L or anti-PLA2R antibody >50 RU/mL;
• eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73m² and/or urine protein >8g/24h for more than 6 months.

Refractory/Relapsed patients:

Refractory patients are defined as those resistant to prior immunosuppressive therapy (persistent urine protein ≥3.5g/24h with a <50% reduction from baseline).

Relapsed patients are defined as those who achieved complete or partial remission with prior immunosuppressive therapy but subsequently developed recurrent urine protein ≥3.5g/24h.

Inclusion Criteria for Subjects with SSC:

• Diagnosis of systemic sclerosis (SSc) according to the 2013 American College of Rheumatology (ACR)/European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) classification criteria.
• Diagnosis of diffuse cutaneous SSc at screening.

Inclusion Criteria for Subjects with IIM:

1.Diagnosis of idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM) according to the 2017 ACR/EULAR classification criteria (including probable or definite diagnosis, corresponding to a probability score of ≥55%). The subtypes include dermatomyositis (DM), anti-synthetase syndrome (ASS), and immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy (IMNM).

Inclusion Criteria for Subjects with IgAN:

• Definitive diagnosis of primary IgA nephropathy confirmed by renal biopsy pathology results obtained within 2 years prior to screening.
• At screening, 24-hour urinary protein ≥1 g/24 h, or urine protein-to-creatinine ratio (UPCR) ≥0.75 g/g.
