Inflammatory bowel disease patients who failed from at least two types of biologics or suffered refractory after at least twice surgery are defiened as difficult-to-treat IBD. It is reported a low five-year suvival rate around 15% of difficult-to-treat IBD patients. Cell therapy is a promising new strategy in auto-immune diseases beyond malignant cancers. Inbalanced immune microenvironment contribute to IBD and cell therapy should be a brighting selection of difficult-to-treat IBD. CNK-UT009 is an universal cellular immunotherapy targeted to auto-reactive T cells whose safety and effect were proved in patients with GVHD and type 1 diabetes mellius. Here, we conducted a single-arm open-label exploratory clinical study of CNK-UT cell therapy on difficult-to-treat IBD patients, mainly to explore the safety and define the maximum tolerated dose. Besides, the preliminary effect would also be evaluated.

CNK-UT009 is a type of independent development universal cell therapy agent, the reagent would be injected intravenously. We set three preset dose levels (3\*7E positive cells/kg 、6\*7E positive cells/kg 和 1\*8E positive cells/kg) with a tapering dose of 1.5\*7E positive cells/kg. Total cells would be divided into several parts and be given in the cycle of two weeks, adjusted by the tolerance and adverse effects of our patients.
maximum tolerant dose(MTD)
indicate the safty
Time frame: 12 weeks after first injection
rate of DLT(dose-limiting toxicity)
indicate the safety

adverse effects of CNK-UT009
rate of TRAE(treatment related adverse effect), rate of TEAE(treatment emergent adverse effect)
Time frame: 12 weeks
pharmacokinetics of CNK-UT009
take blood samples to analyse the CNK-UT009 cell counts and draft the pharmacokinetics of CNK-UT009
