Safety and Efficacy Study of hAESCs Therapy for aGVHD

Inclusion Criteria: 1. The subject or his/her guardian agrees to participate in this clinical trial and signs the informed consent form (ICF), indicating that he understands the purpose and procedures of this clinical trial and is willing to participate in the study; 2. Age≥ 18 years old, gender is not limited; 3. The first occurrence of refractory aGVHD diagnosed by modified Glucksberg criteria with an overall clinical score of III.\~IV., if other causes can be ruled out by clinical diagnosis, etc., no biopsy is required to confirm the diagnosis, but the following conditions must be met at the same time: 1. Patients with hematologic malignancies who have undergone transplantation from any hematopoietic stem cell source (bone marrow, peripheral blood, umbilical cord blood) and have myeloablative pretreatment before hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia are preferred); 2. Refractory aGVHD refractory to second-line drug therapy: those who have been treated with at least one second-line drug (anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody, ruxolitinib, etc.) after hormone resistance, and the aGVHD symptoms still progress or do not improve; Note: Hormone-resistant aGVHD is defined as disease progression (PD) (aGVHD exacerbation (at least one-grade increase in aGVHD in at least one target organ) (with or without improvement in aGVHD in other organs) within 3\~5 days of intravenous methylprednisolone at an initial dose of 2 mg/kg/d or equivalent hormone therapy (with or without improvement in aGVHD in other organs) or no response (NR) within 5\~7 days of treatment (no improvement or worsening in aGVHD severity in any target organ);14 days do not reach CR (disappearance of symptoms in all organs, i.e., aGVHD has an overall score of 0); 4. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score ≤ 2; 5. The functions of important organs meet the following conditions: 1. Cardiac function: left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50%; 2. Liver function: aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤3× upper limit of normal (ULN). If elevated AST and ALT are associated with aGVHD, AST and ALT ≤5× ULN; 3. Renal function: creatinine (Cr) ≤1.5×ULN, or creatinine clearance (Ccr) ≥30 mL/min/1.73m2 (according to Cockcroft and Gault formula); 4. Oxygen saturation at the end of the finger ≥92%; 6. When the subject or his/her spouse is a woman of childbearing age, the subject agrees to use effective contraception during the trial (the subject uses non-drug contraception). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Being treated in another therapeutic clinical trial within 4 weeks before study treatment infusion; 2. Subjects with a history of other parenchymal organ transplantation; 3. Subjects who have received mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) or hAESCs therapy or other stem cell therapy (except hematopoietic stem cells) within 6 months before study treatment infusion; 4. Previous receipt of live virus or attenuated vaccination within 4 weeks before study treatment infusion; 5. Positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) and/or hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) and hepatitis B virus (HBV) deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) test higher than the upper limit of normal (if HBsAg, hepatitis B e antigen (HBeAg) and HBcAb are positive, HBV DNA test is not required and can be directly excluded); positive hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody; positive human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody; positive syphilis antibody test; Note: The above virological tests can accept laboratory test results within 1 month before enrollment. 6. Known allergic reaction to any of the ingredients used in the treatments involved in this study, including hAESCs, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and BAT); 7. Known lung diseases such as pulmonary fibrosis, interstitial lung disease, acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, active lung infection, etc., which are not controlled; 8. Severe hepatic vein occlusive disease; 9. Pregnant or lactating females; 10. Subjects judged by the investigator to have difficulty completing all visits or operations required by the study protocol (including follow-up periods), or insufficient compliance with participation in this study; 11. In the opinion of the investigators, the patient has any underlying or current medical or psychiatric condition that would interfere with the treatment and evaluation of the subject, including but not limited to medically controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure \>160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure \>100 mmHg), uncontrolled infection, pulmonary hypertension, clinically significant (e.g., active) cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebrovascular accident (within 6 months before signing informed consent), myocardial infarction (within 6 months before signing informed consent), Unstable angina, congestive heart failure with NYHA class III or IV, or severe arrhythmias that cannot be controlled with medication or have a potential impact on study treatment; ECG results showing clinically significant abnormalities or QTcF ≥480 ms.
