Brief Summary

This is a Phase I clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CD19-targeted CAR-T in the treatment of refractory juvenile dermatomyositis (RJDM).The experiment was divided into two phases: dose exploration (Part A) and dose extension (Part B).

Detailed Description

juvenile dermatomyositis (JDM) is a non-suppurative chronic autoimmune disease and the most common type of juvenile idiopathic inflammatory myopathy.Despite the active treatment measures, some JDM patients are still intolerant or unresponsive to the treatment, resulting in a high disability and mortality rate.Because CD19 is widely expressed on the surface of B lymphocytes, CD19 CAR-T can also cause deep depletion of other CD19+ B cells while killing cancer cells, which is expected to achieve immune reconstruction in patients with autoimmune diseases, and completely change the status quo that such patients need to take hormones and immunosuppressants for a long time.
