What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Adverse events
Total number, incidence and severity of adverse events (AEs) in patients of LCAR1901 infusion. The AEs will be assessed according to the 2019 Consensus on Cytokine Release Syndrome and Immune-cell-associated Neurotoxicity published by the American Society of Transplantation and Cell Therapy (ASTCT), the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI CTCAE) version 5.0 and EBMT 2019 consensus
Measured: up to 1 years
Secondary outcomes (10)
The persistence of CAR gene vector injection
Assessing the trafficking of CAR gene vector injection in the peripheral blood at the time of each infusion as well as at each time of follow-up by flow cytometry. Peripheral blood will be collected prior to the initial infusion and will be set as baseline
Measured: up to 1 years]
Disease activity was assessed by DAS28
DAS28 was used to assess disease activity, and the number of swelling and tenderness in 28 joints was examined, Min/Max Value: Not specified,with higher scores representing worse disease status
Measured: up to 1 years
Modified Rodnan Skin Score assesses disease activity in patients
Disease activity was assessed by Modified Rodnan Skin Score Modified Rodnan Skin Score: The modified Rodnan Skin Score was used to assess the degree of skin involvement in patients with systemic sclerosis, and the thickness and hardness of the skin on the patient's head and neck, upper limbs, fingers, chest, abdomen, lower limbs, feet, etc., each part was divided into 0 (normal), 1 (mild thickening), 2 (moderate thickening), and 3 (severe thickening) according to the skin involvement, and the scores of each part were added together to obtain a total score, The higher the score, the worse the skin lesion status in patients with systemic sclerosis.
Measured: up to 1 years
SLEDAI assesses disease activity in patients
SLEDAI was used to evaluate the disease activity of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, and the clinical symptoms and laboratory examination indicators of the patients were quantitatively scored.The SLEDAI score ranges from 0~105 points, and the higher the score, and the higher the score, the worse the disease status of systemic lupus erythematosus
Measured: up to 1 years
BILAG-2004 assesses disease activity in patients
BILAG-2004 score: BILAG-2004 was used to evaluate the disease activity of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, and the clinical manifestations of patients in 10 systemic domains were scored according to the involvement of each domain according to the five grades of A (very severe), B (moderately severe), C (mild), D (in the past, now none), and E (never), and the scores in each domain were comprehensively weighted, and the higher the score, the worse the disease status of systemic lupus erythematosus.
Measured: up to 1 years
Change from baseline in Physician's Global Assessment of Arthritis (PGA) (VAS)
The investigator/sub-investigator assesses the participant's disease activity on a VAS of 0 - 3 mm on the physician assessment table
Measured: up to 1 years
Change from baseline in ESR
ESR will be measured with blood samples
Measured: up to 1 years
Clinical response for Sjögren's Syndrome
Sjögren's tool for assessing response (STAR): Min/Max Value: Not specified; a decrease in score indicates improvement; higher scores indicate worse outcome
Measured: up to 1 years
HAQ health assessment
The HAQ health assessment questionnaire was used to assess disease activity, and 8 questions of daily activities were set up for patients to answer, with each question scoring 0-3, 0 points indicating no difficulty, 1 point being somewhat difficult, 2 points being difficult or needing help, and 3 points being unable to complete. The higher the patient's score, the worse the function
Measured: up to 1 years
Change from baseline in CRP
CRP will be measured with blood samples
Measured: up to 1 years
