What the trial is, and whether it could suit you
This study is an open-label, multiple-dose escalation, Investigator-Initiated Trial (IIT) clinical trial designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CC312 in adult patients with relapsed and refractory autoimmune diseases. The trial also assesses pharmacokinetics (PK) and preliminary efficacy.
CC312 is a trispecific T cell engager (TriTE) that targets the B cell surface antigen CD19, the T cell antigen CD3, and the T cell co-stimulatory molecule CD28. Given its mechanism of action, which is similar to the "biopharmaceutical version" of CAR-T, there is a higher risk of cytokine release syndrome (CRS) at the onset of infusion administration. Therefore, a lower priming dose will be administered before the therapeutic dosing phase to mitigate this risk and ensure safety, followed by a therapeutic dose to achieve and maintain efficacy.
The study is divided into three dose groups, wi

๐ Eligibility rules (as published)
Inclusion Criteria:
* Subjects who fully understand the objectives, nature, methods of the study, and possible adverse reactions, voluntarily participate as subjects, and sign the informed consent form (ICF).
* Age โฅ18 years (inclusive, based on the time of signing ICF), male or female.
* For SLE:
1. Subjects who are diagnosed with SLE according to the 2019 European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR)/1997 American College of Rheumatology (ACR) diagnostic classification criteria;
2. SLEDAI-2000 score of โฅ 8 points and at least one BILAG grade A or two BILAG grade B under standard treatment conditions;
3. Meet one of the following conditions: antinuclear antibody (ANA) determined to be positive during the screening period, or anti-dsDNA antibodies higher than normal levels at screening, or anti-Sm antibodies higher than normal levels at screening;
4. Before the first dose of the investigational drug, subjects must have received at least one of the following standard treatments for 12 weeks, and the dose must have been stable for at least 30 days (dose reduction is allowed and dose increase is not allowed ). Standard treatment regimen refers to the stable use of any of the following (alone or in combination): a. Antimalarial (hydroxychloroquine) monotherapy; b. Antimalarials in combination with oral corticosteroids (OCS, e.g., prednisone or other hormones at equivalent doses) and/or immunosuppressants (including mycophenolate mofetil, cyclophosphamide, leflunomide, methotrexate, tacrolimus, ciclosporin, azathioprine, Tripterygium wilfordii); c. OCS and/or immunosuppressant combination therapy. If the subject is receiving OCS (e.g., prednisone or other hormones at equivalent doses), the following criteria must be met: at screening and during the screening period, the maximum dose of OCS is 30 mg/day of prednisone (or other hormones at equivalent doses); other drugs and traditional Chinese medicines that affect immunity may be continued at the discretion of the investigator.
* For IIM:
1. According to the 2017 EULAR/ACR Classification Criteria, diagnosed as possible or definite IIM-possible IIM: with a score of 5.5 points without biopsy; definite IIM: with a score of 6.7 points with biopsy;
2. Meeting one of the following criteria: During or before the screening period, confirmed to have at least one positive myositis-specific autoantibody (MSA), myositis-associated autoantibody (MAA), or ANA;
3. Conventional treatment is ineffective or the disease relapses after remission. Conventional treatment is defined as: the use of glucocorticoids (prednisone \>1 mg/kg/d or equivalent dose) and/or at least one immunomodulatory drug: such as antimalarial drugs, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, tacrolimus, ciclosporin, and/or biological drug products: such as rituximab and belimumab.
* For IIM:

2. Meets one of the following criteria: positive ANA confirmed during or before the screening period, or at least one positive SSc-related antibody profile (such as Scl70, Th/To, RP11/12, U3RNP autoantibodies);
3. Conventional treatment is ineffective or the disease relapses after remission. Conventional treatment is defined as: using glucocorticoids (prednisone \> 0.5 mg/kg/d or equivalent dose) and cyclophosphamide, and any of the following immunomodulatory drugs: such as antimalarial drugs, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, methotrexate, leflunomide, tacrolimus, ciclosporin, and/or biological agents: such as rituximab and belimumab, with a cumulative treatment duration \> 6 months.
