Use of any other clinical investigational drug for the treatment of SLE within 4 weeks prior to screening. However, treatment ineffectiveness or disease progression that has passed at least 3 half-lives prior to screening will allow enrollment; 9. History of grade ≥2 bleeding within 30 days prior to screening or need for long-term continuous treatment with anticoagulants (e.g., warfarin, low molecular heparin, or factor Xa inhibitors); 10. Plasma exchange, plasma separation, hemodialysis, intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) within 14 days prior to cell collection; 11.
