This study is an open-label, single-arm, prospective, multicenter, phase I/II clinical trial. It adopts the two-stage optimal design proposed by Bryant and Day to investigate the efficacy, safety, and in vivo pharmacokinetic characteristics of CD19/BCMA CAR-T cell therapy in the treatment of relapsed/refractory warm antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
With reference to the protocol by the team led by Georg Schett from Germany, a dosage of 1×10⁶ CAR⁺ cells per kilogram was selected, and it is planned to enroll 24 subjects with relapsed/refractory warm antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia (wAIHA). The two-stage optimal design proposed by Bryant and Day was adopted: Stage 1: A total of 8 participants will be enrolled, with the core objective of evaluating the tolerance to treatment-related toxicity. By monitoring safety events (including grade ≥2 cytokine release syndrome (CRS), immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), and grade 3-4 neutropenia lasting more than 28 days, etc.), it will be determined whether the number of such events is ≤ 5. Stage 2: A total of 16 participants will be enrolled, focusing on assessing treatment response, which requires that at least 4 participants achieve a definite therapeutic effect.

Eligible participants should receive preconditioning 5 to 3 days before CAR-T cell infusion. The recommended preconditioning regimen is fludarabine (30 mg/m²/day for 3 consecutive days) and cyclophosphamide (300 mg/m²/day for 3 consecutive days) (Flu/Cy). Thirty minutes before infusion, medications for preventing allergic reactions should be administered: 25 mg of promethazine hydrochloride or 12.5 mg of diphenhydramine, which can be given intramuscularly or orally. Adopting the two-stage optimal design proposed by Bryant and Day, it is planned to enroll 24 subjects with relapsed/refractory warm antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia, with a selected dosage of 1×10⁶ CAR⁺ cells/kg.
