Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • Aged 18-75 years (for MS patients, 18-55 years); both genders eligible.
  • Subjects with neurological diseases who have failed standard treatment or lack effective treatment, Including neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorders(NMOSD), generalized myasthenia gravis(gMG), chronic inflammatory demyelinating Polyradiculoneuropathy(CIDP) and multiple sclerosis(MS).
  • Anticipated survival of ≥ 12 weeks as judged by the researcher.
  • Agrees to use double barrier methods, condoms, oral or injectable , or intrauterine devices during the study period and for one year after taking the study medication.
  • Provides written .

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • History of solid organ transplantation.
  • Malignant tumor within the last two years.
  • Positive for surface antigen (HBsAg) or Hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb), with peripheral blood Hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA detected as positive; positive for virus antibodies, with peripheral blood Hepatitis C virus RNA detected as positive; positive for (HIV) antibodies; positive for Cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA; positive for syphilis.
  • Primary immunodeficiency (congenital or acquired).

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(7)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities(DLTs)

    Incidence of dose-limiting toxicities(DLTs)

    Time frame: First 28 days after infusion

  2. Incidence of adverse events(AEs) and severe adverse

    Incidence of adverse events(AEs) and severe adverse events(SAEs).

    Time frame: Up to 12 months after infusion

Secondary outcomes

  1. Concentrations of UCAR-T cells

    The concentration of BCMA UCAR T cells and CD19 UCAR-T cells in peripheral blood after infusion

    Time frame: 3 months

  2. B cell levels in peripheral blood

    The change of B cell levels in peripheral blood after infusion

    Time frame: 3 months

  3. Changes of pathogenic antibody titers after infusion

    The changes of pathogenic antibody titers in peripheral blood or cerebrospinal fluid.

    Time frame: 1, 3, 6 ,12months

  4. NMOSD: Annualized relapse rate

    ARR is defined as the number of relapses divided by the total participant-years after infusion

    Time frame: 6, 12months

  5. gMG: Changes of Myasthenia Gravis Activities if Daily Living (MG-ADL) Score

    MG-ADL scale assesses the impact of gMG on daily functions by measuring 8 signs or symptoms that are commonly affected in gMG. Each item is measured on a 4-point scale, where a score of 0 represents normal function and a score of 3 represents the loss of ability to perform that function. Total scores range from 0 to 24 points, with a higher score showing more severe gMG.

    Time frame: 1, 3, 6, 12months

  6. CIDP:Changes of Inflammatory Neuropathy Cause and Treatment (INCAT) Score after infusion.

    The INCAT score assesses the functionality of the arms and legs by giving a 0-5 score for arms and legs, with 0 representing no disability and 5 representing no arm function or inability to stand/walk.

    Time frame: 1, 3, 6, 12months

  7. MS: Changes of the number of Gd-enhancing T1 Lesions

    The changes of enhancing Lesions as detected by brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

    Time frame: 6, 12months

  8. MS: Changes of the number of Number of New or Enlarging T2 Lesions

    Number of new/enlarging T2 lesions on last available MRI scan compared to baseline.

    Time frame: 6, 12months

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 1, 2025, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
