Allogeneic Anti-CD19/BCMA CAR-T for Refractory Graves' Disease

Graves' disease is an autoimmune thyroid disorder in which autoantibodies against the thyroid-stimulating hormone receptor (TRAb) lead to excessive thyroid hormone production and systemic complications, as well as thyroid eye disease and pretibial myxedema in some cases. Patients with refractory Graves' disease often fail to achieve durable remission despite prolonged antithyroid medication.

This study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of RD06-05, an allogeneic dual CD19/BCMA CAR-T therapy, in participants with refractory Graves' disease, and will provide preliminary evidence on whether dual-targeting CAR-T therapy can induce sustained remission of refractory Graves' disease.

  • Severe psychiatric disorder or significant cognitive impairment that may affect compliance.
  • Hematologic dysfunction, including: a) White blood cell count < 3.5 × 10⁹/L; b) Neutrophil count < 1.8 × 10⁹/L; c) Hemoglobin < 110 g/L.
  • Hepatic dysfunction, defined as any of the following: Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) > 3 × ULN; Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) > 3 × ULN; Total bilirubin (TBIL) > 2.5 × ULN.
  • Renal dysfunction: creatinine clearance rate (CrCl) < 60 mL/min (Cockcroft-Gault formula).
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 55%.
  • Coagulation abnormalities, defined as either: International normalized ratio (INR) > 1.5 × ULN; Prothrombin time (PT) > 1.5 × ULN.
  • Participation in another clinical trial within 3 months prior to enrollment.
  • Pregnant or breastfeeding women, or women planning to become pregnant.
  • Any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would make the participant unsuitable for the study.

Treatment and study plan

allogenic anti-CD19/BCMA CAR-T

Biological

Participants will receive a single infusion of allogenic anti-CD19/BCMA CAR-T (RD06-05).

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs)

    Time frame: From baseline to 12 months after infusion of CAR-T cells

  2. Remission of Graves' disease

    Time frame: From baseline to 12 months after infusion of CAR-T cells

    Proportion of remission will be calculated throughout 12 months after infusion of CAR-T cells. Remission is defined as euthyroid status without anti-thyroid medication.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Proportion of participants with ≥50% reduction of anti-thyrotropin receptor antibody (TRAb)

    Time frame: From baseline to 12 months after infusion of CAR-T cells

    Percentage of participants achieving a ≥50% reduction of TRAb throughout 12 months after infusion of CAR-T, as compared with baseline.

  2. Proportion of participants with ≥50% reduction of thyroid stimulating immunoglobulin (TSI)

    Time frame: From baseline to 12 months after infusion of CAR-T cells

    Percentage of participants achieving a ≥50% reduction of TSI throughout 12 months after infusion of CAR-T, as compared with baseline.

  3. Change of TRAb levels compared to baseline
