Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT)	After OL-108 administration up to 30 days (Day 1-Day 30)	Adverse events will be assessed based on the CTCAE 5.0
Treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) incidence and severity	From lymphodepletion through study completion, up to 2 years	Adverse events will be assessed based on the CTCAE 5.0

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Overall Response Rate	Baseline through study completion, up to 2 years	The efficacy outcome variable, Overall Response Rate (ORR), is defined as the ratio between the number of subjects experiencing a response at weeks 12, 24 and 52 and the total number of enrolled subjects.; A response to treatment will be considered as: * SLE: Fulfillment of DORIS remission/LLDAS criteria of SLE.; * SSc: Fulfillment of mCRISS criteria; * IIM: 2016 ACR/EULAR Total Improvement Score.; * AAV: Birmingham vasculitis activity score (BVAS) of 0.
Cmax of OL-108	Baseline through study completion, up to 2 years	The maximum concentration of the CAR-T cells will be measured to assess OL-108 in vivo expansion and persistence.
Tmax of OL-108	Baseline through study completion, up to 2 years	The time of the maximum concentration will be measured to assess OL-108 in vivo expansion and persistence.
AUC 0-28 days of OL-108	Baseline through study completion, up to 2 years	Area under the curve will be measured to assess OL-108 in vivo expansion and persistence.
Serum cytokines	From lymphodepletion till day 90	The levels of cytokines will be measured, such as IL-6 and ferritin.
Level of Immunogenicity	Baseline through study completion, up to 2 years	To assess the presence of antibodies to OL-108 (ADA)
Level of RCR	Baseline through study completion, up to 2 years	To determine whether Replication Competent Retrovirus (RCR) is present in patients that receive OL-108
