Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Bone marrow examination shows increased or normal megakaryocytes.
  1. Basic normal function of important organs:

  • Absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) ≥0.5×10^9/L; absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥1×10^9/L; hemoglobin (Hb) ≥60 g/L; platelet count ≥10×10^9/L.

  • Blood oxygen saturation >92%.

  1. Meet the standards for apheresis or venous blood collection, and have nocontraindications to cell collection.
  1. Men of reproductive potential and women of childbearing age must agree to useeffective contraception from the signing of the informed consent form until 1year after the use of the study drug. Blood pregnancy tests for women ofchildbearing age must be negative at screening and before cell infusion, andthey must not be breastfeeding.
  1. The participant or their guardian agrees to participate in this clinical trialand signs the informed consent form (ICF), indicating their understanding ofthe purpose and procedures of this clinical trial and their willingness toparticipate in the study.

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Thrombocytopenia caused by myelodysplastic syndromes, early aplastic anemia,atypical aplastic anemia, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura, etc.
  1. Bone marrow examination during the screening period suggests myelofibrosis MF≥2 (European consensus scoring standard Thieleja2005) or bone marrow examinationindicates the presence of primary diseases other than ITP that can causethrombocytopenia.
  1. Allergic history to any component in the cell product.
  1. Suffering from any of the following heart diseases:
  • Congestive heart failure of NYHA class III or IV.

  • Myocardial infarction or coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or coronarystent implantation within ≤6 months before signing the ICF.

  • Clinically significant ventricular arrhythmias, or history of unexplainedsyncope (excluding vasovagal syncope or dehydration).

  • Severe non-ischemic cardiomyopathy history.

  1. Malignant tumors within the past 3 years before screening, except for thefollowing: malignant tumors that have been treated radically and have no knownactive disease for ≥3 years before enrollment; or well-treated non-melanomaskin cancer with no evidence of disease.
  1. Symptomatic deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism within the past 6 monthsor currently requiring anticoagulant therapy.
  1. Participation in other interventional clinical studies within 1 month beforescreening.
  1. Vaccination with attenuated live vaccines within 4 weeks before screening.
  1. Stroke or epileptic seizure within 6 months before signing the ICF (excludingold lacunar cerebral infarction).
  1. The following treatments before CAR-T reinfusion: immunosuppressive treatmentwithin 3 days; use of prednisone (or equivalent drugs) at a dose >10mg/daywithin 3 days.
  1. The following treatments before CAR-T reinfusion: treatment with B-celldepleting agents such as rituximab within 24 weeks (unless B cells haverecovered); immunoglobulin reinfusion treatment within 4 weeks.
  1. Positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) and peripheral blood hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA titer detectionexceeds the normal range; positive for hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody andperipheral blood hepatitis C virus (HCV) RNA titer detection exceeds the normalrange; positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody; positivesyphilis test.
  1. Other conditions deemed unsuitable for participation in the study by theresearcher.

Study Description

This investigator-initiated clinical study aims to evaluate PRG-1801, a BCMA-targeted CAR-T cell therapy, in patients with relapsed refractory immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). The study employs a dose-escalation design to assess safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy.

Approximately 1 sites are planned to be selected for the clinical trial. The subjects, who sign the informed consent forms and been screened by inclusion/exclusion criteria, will be assigned into 35×10^6, 100×10^6, and 300×10^6 CAR-T cells groups in order of sequence. And the subjects will undergo leukapheresis, lymphodepletion pre-treatment, and a single infusion of PRG-1801. Dose escalation will follow 3 + 3 design and 3-6 subjects in each group will complete a single dose. Within the same dose group, the next subject will be administered after the previous subject has completed at least 14 days of safety observation. After the last subject in each dose group has completed the dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) assessment window of 28 days after single dose, the enrollment and treatment for the next dose group may be initiated after the Safety Review Committee (SRC) agrees to enter the next dose group based on clinical safety data assessment.

When DLT occurs in 1 of 3 subjects in a dose group, 3 additional subjects in the same dose group will be required (up to 6 subjects in the dose group have completed DLT assessment): if no DLT occurs in the additional 3 subjects, dose escalation will continue; if 1 of the 3 additional subjects experiences one DLT, dose escalation will be discontinued; if more than 1 of the 3 additional subjects experiences DLTs, dose escalation will be discontinued, and 3 additional subjects will be required to be enrolled at one lower dose level for DLT assessment. After the end of escalation for the maximum dose group, if no MTD is observed, the highest dose level is defined as the MTD
