GroupInterventionDescription
BCMA-targeting CAR T cells therapyPRG-1801The study was divided into two phases: dose exploration phase and dose extension phase. Three dose levels (35×10\^6 CAR-T, 100×10\^6 CAR-T, 300×10\^6 CAR-T) were planned for the dose-exploration phase, and 3 to 6 LN or IgG4-RD subjects were included in each dose group. When 1 out of 3 subjects in a dose group showed DLT, 3 subjects were re-enrolled at that dose level. If DLT occurs in ≥2 of 6 subjects, dose reduction or study termination should be considered. The safe and effective fixed dose of PRG-1801 was determined through the dose-exploration phase, and after evaluation by the investigators, the dose-expansion phase was conducted, in which an additional 3-6 subjects were included in the safe and effective fixed dose for each of the two indications (Lupus Nephritis and IgG4-Related Disease) to further determine the safety and efficacy of this dose for each indications.
