About

This study is an investigator-initiated single center, single arm clinical study with a target population of patients with Refractory Autoimmune Diseases (ADs). It is an early exploratory clinical study of the safety, tolerability and initial efficacy of JY231 injection in the treatment of Refractory Autoimmune Diseases (ADs).

Full description

This study included the screening period (Day -18 to Day -7), the baseline period (Day -1), the treatment and observation period (Day 0 to 28), and the follow-up period (Month 2[from Day 29] to Year 15). Participants eligible for the screening period will be admitted to the study center for a single JY231 treatment and a follow-up period after the end of the treatment and observation period. After completing the follow-up for the first five years, methods such as telephone or written questionnaires can be used, and relevant samples should be collected as much as possible. The subjects should be followed up at least once a year until the end of the follow-up period. The maximum monitoring time can be extended to 15 years, and all monitoring data during the extension process need to be recorded.

Enrollment: 45 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 18 to 75 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
