简要总结
This trial is an investigator-initiated, single-arm, open-label Phase Ib/II study to observe the safety, tolerability, PK/PD characteristics, immunogenicity, and the efficacy of SYS6020 injection in participants with relapsed/refractory multiple sclerosis. The study plans to enroll participants with progressive or relapsing multiple sclerosis.
The recommended dosing regimen is as follows: a single administration dose of 45×10^6 CAR-T cells/kg (allowing a fluctuation of ±20%), administered once a week for 6 consecutive doses.
To ensure participant safety, this study will establish a Safety Monitoring Committee (SMC). A staggered enrollment and dosing strategy will be adopted in the early stage. Two early safety evaluation will be established (after the first 3 enrolled participants complete their first 3 infusions of SYS6020, and after the first 3 enrolled participants complete their first 6 infusions of SYS6020) for comprehensive assessment.
The study plans to enroll 10-15 participants. Once the enrollment of 10-15 participants is complete, a comprehensive assessment may be conducted based on the actual progress of the study and combined with existing data. This will fully evaluate the safety, preliminary efficacy, and PK/PD/ADA data of the enrolled participants. If the overall safety of the participants is manageable, preliminary efficacy shows a positive trend, and there are value and necessity for further exploration, expanding the number of participants may be considered (up to a maximum of 25 participants in total).
