About this trial
Graves' disease is an autoimmune disease. The TSH receptor antibody(TRab) produced by B cells drives the production of thyroid hormone, which causes systemic disorders and thyroid eye disease. The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of allogeneic anti-CD19 CAR-T for refractory Graves' disease.
The participants with refractory Graves' disease will receive a single dose of allogeneic anti-CD19 CAR-T and be regularly seen for the change of serum TRab, FT3, FT4 and clinical presentations, as well as any adverse events.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Subjects with refractory Graves disease, which is defined as meeting any one of the following criteria: a. Failure to discontinue medication after continuous standard antithyroid therapy for ≥ 3 years; b. Hyperthyroid state requiring medication after receiving ≥ 2 times of radioiodine therapy (with the last dose of radioiodine administered at least 6 months prior); c. Relapse ≥ 2 times after cessation of medication upon meeting the criteria for treatment discontinuation.
Serum TRAb ≥ 3 times greater than normal range (≥ 5 IU/L)
Positive expression of CD19 on peripheral blood B cells determined by flow cytometry.
Participation in this clinical study is willing to sign an informed consent with good compliance with treatment and follow-up.
