This is a Phase I, single-arm, open-label, dose-escalation and dose-expansion study.
The main objective is to explore the safety and tolerability of the universal STAR-T cell injection in patients with progressive or relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS).The secondary objectives are to evaluate the efficacy of the universal STAR-T cell injection in treating patients with progressive or relapsing-remitting MS; and to assess the pharmacokinetic (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) characteristics of the universal STAR-T cell injection.
The primary endpoint of this study is the incidence rate of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), as well as the types, severity and frequency of adverse events (AE).The secondary research endpoints of this study are the efficacy endpoints as well as the expansion and persistence of the universal STAR-T cells in the body.
This study is an exploratory clinical trial of the universal STAR-T cell injection for the treatment of progressive or relapsed-remitting MS. The study will be conducted in two phases: dose escalation and dose expansion. The dose escalation group 1 (1.5E6 STAR-T cells) begins, followed by dose escalation group 2 (3E6 STAR-T cells), and dose escalation group 3 (4.5E6 STAR-T cells).
Expansion study phase: After the dose escalation stage is completed, based on the safety, PK results and preliminary efficacy data of each dose group during the escalation stage, the recommended dose will be determined for the dose expansion study. It is planned to include 3 to 6 subjects to further systematically evaluate the safety and efficacy of the universal STAR-T cell.
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).
3,460 studies on the registry are indexed under Multiple Sclerosis; 661 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 24 is below the median of 50 across 2,342 interventional studies indexed under Multiple Sclerosis.

2. Patients with MS who have been diagnosed according to the specified diagnostic criteria in the past and currently have no effective treatment options need to meet the following requirements, including:

Exclusion Criteria:
If the subjects meet any of the following exclusion criteria, they will not be included in this study:
Drug: Universal STAR-T Cell Injection
Subjects will receive Universal STAR-T Cell Injection, and dose escalation will commence at 1.5E6 cells/kg or the starting dose may be adjusted based on accumulated data.
Dose Limiting Toxicity
Time frame: Within 28 days after infusion
The types, severity and frequency of adverse events (AE)
Time frame: Within 6 months after infusion
Efficacy endpoint
Definition of treatment effectiveness: An increase in the EDSS score (an increase of 1 point for scores below 5 and 0.5 points for scores of 5 and above) is defined as deterioration. If no deterioration occurs, it is considered effective; or a reduction in the Annualized Relapse Rate (ARR).
Time frame: Within 12 weeks after infusion
The in vivo expansion and persistence of universal STAR-T cells.
Key PK parameters: peak amplification (Cmax), time to peak (Tmax), area under the blood concentration-time curve (AUC), as well as studies on cell subtypes and dominant clones, etc. Key PD parameters: changes in cytokines, levels and characteristics of immune cell reconstitution such as CD19-positive B cells, etc. Research on immunogenicity and other aspects: Studies on the production of anti-drug antibodies (ADA) in peripheral blood against the universal STAR-T cell injection solution and the generation of replication-type adeno-associated viruses (RCA).
Time frame: Within 12 months after infusion.
