What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
This study is a single-arm, open, 2-stage (dose-escalation phase and dose-expansion phase), multi-center, phase I clinical trial to evaluate the safety and tolerance of SYS6020 injection in the participants with refractory systemic myasthenia gravis, and determine the recommended dose (RD) for subsequent studies of the product, and to preliminarily evaluate the clinical efficacy of the product, as well as to explore the pharmacokinetics and immunogenicity of the product in vivo.
The dose-escalation phase and dose-expansion phase include 7 periods, and they are respectively in sequence as follows: the screening period, apheresis period, pre-dosing assessment, SYS6020 injection infusion, DLT observation period, the primary follow-up period (6 months), and the long-term follow-up period (5 years). The DLT observation period is 28 days after receiving SYS6020 injection. The participants wil
