Overview
Brief Summary
It is a single-center, single-arm, open-labeled clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CAR-T cells therapy for Chronic or Refractory Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP).
Detailed Description
This open label and single-arm study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CAR-T cells therapy in patients with Chronic or Refractory Primary Immune Thrombocytopenia (ITP). After enrollment, a leukapheresis procedure will be performed to manufacture chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) modified T cells. Patients will get a 3-5 days lymphodepletion therapy with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, then the CAR-T cells will be infused by vein. After infusion, subjects will be followed for safety and efficacy evaluation up to 12 weeks. For those with a durable remission 12 weeks after infusion, the follow-up will last for at least 12 months for disease control.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Willingness to complete the informed consent process and to comply with study procedures and visit schedule;
- •Men and women aged 8-75;
- •Participants diagnosed with chronic (\>12 months duration) or refractory (a documented intolerance or insufficient response to the first and second line standard treatment of ITP) ITP;
- •The results of physical, instrumental, and laboratory examination of patients not suggest any disease which may cause thrombocytopenia other than ITP;
- •Platelet count \<30 x 109 / L;
- •If the patient is taking corticosteroids, the treatment regimen/dose should be stable (at least 2 weeks prior to screening);
- •The results of physical, instrumental, and laboratory examination of patients should be within the normal range or deviations should be regarded by the researcher as clinically insignificant;
- •Willingness to use effective and reliable methods of contraception throughout the entire study period;
Exclusion Criteria
- •All subjects with diseases which may cause secondary immune thrombocytopenia
- •Patients with preventive splenectomy;
- •Hemostatic disorders other than chronic thrombocytopenia;
- •Subject treated with drugs that affect platelet function (including but not limited to aspirin, clopidogrel and/or NSAIDs) or anti-coagulants for \> 3 consecutive days within 2 weeks of the study start and until the end of the study;
- •History of platelet agglutination abnormality that prevents reliable measurement of platelet counts;
- •Concurrent malignant disease and/or history of cancer treatment with cytotoxic chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy;
- •Grade III-IV heart failure or myocardial infarction, cardiac angioplasty or stenting, unstable angina pectoris, or other clinically prominent heart disease within one year prior to enrollment;

- •Persons with acute or exacerbation of chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract associated with the risk of bleeding, acute infectious diseases, pathologies of the respiratory system;
- •Any clinically significant hepatic impairment (increase of serum transaminase levels by more than 3 times the upper limit of normal);
