Donor CAR-T cells aim to reset a misguided immune system
NCT ID NCT07811622
First seen Sep 10, 2026 · Last updated Sep 11, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers are testing a new cell therapy called CHT105 in up to 24 adults with relapsed or refractory autoimmune diseases, including immune thrombocytopenia (ITP). CHT105 uses donor-derived CAR-T cells engineered to target two markers, CD19 and CD70, on immune cells. The goal is to see whether this one-time infusion is safe and can produce lasting responses by resetting the immune attack. Participants receive a single dose or multiple doses at different dose levels, and researchers track side effects, response rates, and how long the cells persist.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- an allogeneic CAR-T cell therapy targeting CD19 and CD70, called CHT105
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could offer a one-time, off-the-shelf cell therapy that resets the immune attack in hard-to-treat autoimmune diseases, without waiting for a patient's own cells to be engineered.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early, small study of 24 people with no control group, so safety and benefit are far from proven. CAR-T therapy carries risks such as cytokine release syndrome and immune complications, and donated cells may be rejected or fade over time.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Age ≥18 and ≤65 years (inclusive), no restriction on gender; 2. Positive expression of CD19/CD70 on peripheral blood B-cells as determined by flow cytometry; 3. Key organ functions shall meet the following requirements: 1). Bone marrow function: a. Absolute neutrophil count ≥1×10⁹/L (no colony-stimulating factor therapy within 2 weeks prior to testing, except for neutropenia caused by underlying disease); b. Hemoglobin ≥60 g/L; 2). Liver function: ALT ≤3×ULN (except for ALT elevation due to underlying disease); AST ≤3×ULN (except for AST elevation due to underlying disease); TBIL ≤1.5×ULN (except for TBIL elevation due to underlying disease); 3). Renal function: Creatinine clearance (CrCl) ≥30 mL/min (calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault formula, except for decreased CrCl caused by underlying disease); 4). Coagulation function: International Normalized Ratio (INR) ≤1.5×ULN; Prothrombin Time (PT) ≤1.5×ULN; 5). Cardiac function: Good hemodynamic stability; 4.Female subjects of child-bearing potential and male subjects with partners of child-bearing potential must use medically-accepted contraceptive measures or practice abstinence during study treatment and for at least 6 months after the end of study treatment. Female subjects of child-bearing potential must have a negative serum HCG test result within 7 days prior to study enrollment and shall not be lactating; 5.Voluntarily participate in this clinical study, provide signed informed consent, have good compliance, and be willing to comply with follow-up procedures. 6.Diagnosed with relapsed/refractory immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) according to the 2009 International Working Group (IWG) consensus criteria; 7.latelet count \<50×10⁹/L on at least two consecutive occasions. In addition, peripheral blood smear findings shall support the diagnosis of ITP, with no evidence indicating alternative causes of thrombocytopenia (e.g., pseudothrombocytopenia, myelofibrosis). Physical examination findings shall reveal no diseases other than ITP that may cause thrombocytopenia; 8.Subjects shall have received one or more prior therapies for ITP (including but not limited to glucocorticoids, immunoglobulins, azathioprine, danazol, cyclophosphamide and/or rituximab); 9.Subjects must have either a response to one prior ITP therapy (platelet count \>50×10⁹/L) within the past 3 years, or bone marrow findings consistent with ITP, to rule out myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) or other alternative causes of thrombocytopenia; 10.Subjects shall have Prothrombin Time (PT) not exceeding ±3 seconds relative to the normal reference range (or the International Normalized Ratio \[INR\] within 80%-120% of the normal range); activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) not exceeding ±10 seconds relative to the normal reference range; and no history of hypercoagulable state. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Subjects with a severe history of drug allergy or allergic diathesis; 2. Presence or suspicion of uncontrolled or treatable fungal, bacterial, viral or other infections; 3. Subjects with intolerable cardiac function; 4. Subjects with congenital immunoglobulin deficiency; 5. History of malignant neoplasm within the past 5 years; 6. Subjects with end-stage renal failure; 7. Subjects positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg), or positive for hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) with peripheral blood HBV DNA titer above the upper limit of detection; subjects positive for hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody with detectable peripheral blood HCV RNA; subjects positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody; subjects with positive syphilis test; 8. Presence of psychiatric disorders and severe cognitive impairment; 9. Participation in another clinical trial within 3 months prior to enrollment; 10. Use of disease-modifying immunosuppressive agents within five half-lives prior to enrollment, or use of biological agents (including but not limited to mycophenolate mofetil, methotrexate, leflunomide, belimumab, etc.) within 4 weeks prior to enrollment; 11. Female subjects who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant; 12. Subjects whom the investigator considers ineligible for enrollment for any other reason.
