Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of CAR-T Cells in the Treatment of R/R Neuromyelitis Optica
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
This is a single-arm, open-label, single-center, phase I study. The primary objective is to evaluate the safety of CD19 CAR-T therapy for patients with relapsed or refractory Neuromyelitis Optica, and to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of CD19 CAR-T in patients.
