This is a Phase I, single-arm, open-label, dose-escalation and dose-expansion study.
This is an exploratory clinical study of universal STAR-T cell injection in patients with refractory generalized myasthenia gravis (GMG). Approximately 10-24 participants aged 18-65 years (inclusive) with the condition are planned to be enrolled.
The primary objective is to evaluate the safety, tolerability, preliminary efficacy, pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) profile, and immunogenicity of universal STAR-T cell injection. The starting dose is 1.5E6 STAR+ T cells/kg, administered as a single intravenous infusion.Based on safety, PK results, and preliminary efficacy data obtained from the initial dose cohorts, a recommended dose will be selected for subsequent dose-expansion studies to further systematically evaluate the safety and efficacy of universal STAR-T cell injection.
This study includes the screening period (from D-28 to D-6), the pre-clearance treatment and rest observation period (from D-5 to D-1), the cell infusion and main study endpoint observation period (from D0 to W12 after infusion), and the follow-up period (from W12 after infusion to W104).
The study is being conducted at Tongji Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology.

Exclusion criteria
Subjects will receive infusion of Universal STAR-T Cells at the starting dose of 1.5E6 STAR+T cells/kg.
Time frame: AEs observation will be follow-up for 24 weeks. The observation period is extended to 104 weeks.
Characterization of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) graded by NCI-CTCAE v6.0, including laboratory abnormalities, vital sign changes, and infusion-related reactions.
Time frame: Within 28 days after infusion
To assess the safety and tolerability of [Drug Name] and determine the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D). DLTs are defined according to the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) v6.0.
Time frame: The efficacy endpoint evaluation for 104 weeks.
Evaluation of preliminary efficacy based on the Myasthenia Gravis Quantitative Scale (QMG) and Myasthenia Gravis Activities of Daily Living (MG-ADL) scale. Response is defined as a ≥5-point reduction from baseline in either the QMG score or the MG-ADL score. Both scales are standardized patient-reported outcome measures.
Time frame: Up to 24 weeks (Core Analysis Period); Extended observation up to 104 weeks.
To evaluate the maximum observed plasma concentration of Universal STAR-T Cells .
Time frame: Up to 24 weeks (Core Analysis Period); Extended observation up to 104 weeks.
To evaluate the time to reach the maximum observed plasma concentration of Universal STAR-T Cells.
Time frame: Up to 24 weeks (Core Analysis Period); Extended observation up to 104 weeks.
To evaluate the total systemic exposure to Universal STAR-T Cells over time.
Time frame: Up to 24 weeks (Core Analysis Period); Extended observation up to 104 weeks.
Evaluation of pharmacodynamic (PD) effects via serial measurement of serum cytokine concentrations, including IL-1β, IL-2R, IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α, and IFN-γ, using validated ELISA kits.
Time frame: Up to 24 weeks (Core Analysis Period); Extended observation up to 104 weeks.
Evaluation of Pharmacodynamic (PD) effects of Universal STAR-T Cells via serial quantification of CD19-positive B cells in peripheral blood, expressed as cells per microliter (cells/μL). Measurement will be performed using flow cytometry according to standardized laboratory protocols.
Time frame: Up to 24 weeks (Core Analysis Period); Extended observation up to 104 weeks.
To evaluate the development of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) against allogeneic universal STAR-T cells in peripheral blood.
Time frame: Up to 24 weeks (Core Analysis Period); Extended observation up to 104 weeks.
To quantitatively detect replication-competent adeno-associated virus (RCA) in peripheral blood using droplet digital PCR (ddPCR). Results will be reported as copies/mL. RCA detection serves as a safety biomarker to assess potential vector shedding or replication in vivo.
