RD06-05 Universal CD19/BCMA CAR-T for Refractory Pediatric Autoimmune Diseases

Официальное название

A Clinical Study of the Safety, Efficacy, and Pharmacokinetics of Universal CD19/BCMA-Targeted CAR-T Cell Injection for the Treatment of Autoimmune Diseases in Children and Adolescents

Обзор

This is a single-arm, open-label, phase I clinical study to evaluate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and efficacy of RD06-05, a universal CD19/BCMA dual-targeting chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T), in pediatric and adolescent patients with refractory autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus/lupus nephritis (SLE/LN), systemic sclerosis (SSc), idiopathic inflammatory myopathy (IIM), multidrug-resistant nephrotic syndrome (MDR-NS), and refractory IgA nephropathy (IgAN). Approximately 30 eligible patients will be enrolled and receive a single intravenous infusion of RD06-05 at an initial dose of 6×10⁶ CAR+ T cells/kg, with a potential dose escalation to 10×10⁶ CAR+ T cells/kg following review by a Safety Review Committee (SRC).

Подробное описание

Study Duration:

Approximately 4 years (2026-2030), with individual participant participation lasting up to 24 months post-infusion.

Follow-up:

Patients are followed for safety, efficacy, PK/PD, and quality of life assessments at predefined time points through 24 months post-infusion.

Key Endpoints:

Primary: Incidence of TEAEs, SAEs, and AESIs (including cytokine release syndrome, ICANS, GvHD, infections, and secondary malignancies).

Secondary: Disease-specific response rates (e.g., LLDAS/DORIS for SLE/LN, mRSS for SSc, MMT-8 for IIM, UPCR for IgAN, remission for MDR-NS), changes in eGFR, autoantibody levels, quality of life (PedsQL 4.0), CAR-T expansion (Cmax, AUC0-28), persistence, and anti-drug antibody incidence.

Exploratory: B-cell aplasia duration and B-cell subset reconstitution.
