• Subjects and their partners agree to use effective barrier or medical contraceptive measures (excluding rhythm method) from signing informed consent until 1 year after administration.

• Subject who received plasma cell-targeted cell therapy within 3 months before screening, or in whom prior cell therapy products are still detectable in peripheral blood.
• Subject who received any of the following treatments within the specified periods prior to study enrollment:

• Anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody < 12 weeks;
• Sutimlimab or other marketed biological products < 5 half-lives;

• Subject who received live viral vaccines within 4 weeks before enrollment.
• Subject who are participating in other interventional clinical studies during IASO206 Injection treatment with a drug half-life < 5; subject receiving active investigational drugs during the entire study period, or who intend to participate in another clinical trial, or receive treatments outside the protocol.
• Pregnant or lactating females.
• Subject with psychiatric disorders, disturbance of consciousness, or central nervous system diseases, including but not limited to epilepsy and Parkinson's disease.
