to evaluate the safety and efficacy of GR1803 in the treatment of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus

Autoimmune diseases refer to a common category of diseases caused by the immune system reacting to self-antigens, leading to tissue damage. Autoimmune diseases encompass a wide variety of conditions, such as systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE), Sjögren's syndrome (SS), systemic sclerosis (SSc), inflammatory myopathies (IM), ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV), and antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). They affect the quality of life, while in severe cases, they can be life-threatening. Additionally, they impose a heavy economic burden on society. Current treatments for autoimmune diseases include glucocorticoid, immunosuppressants, and biologics. B cell-driven humoral immune abnormalities are a central pathogenic mechanism in many autoimmune diseases. When autoreactive B cells are excessively activated, they produce large amounts of autoantibodies and immune complexes. These antibodies and immune complexes can cause damage to various tissues and organs, leading to the development of multiple autoimmune diseases. Therefore, targeting B cells to treat autoimmune diseases is an attractive therapeutic strategy. Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR)-T cells targeting the B cell surface molecule CD19 have achieved significant clinical progress in acute lymphoblastic leukemia and B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma, with several CD19 CAR-T therapies approved for marketing worldwide. Increasingly, clinical studies are exploring the use of CD19 CAR-T cells for the treatment of autoimmune diseases, and their therapeutic efficacy has been demonstrated. In this study, the investigators used γδ T cells as carrier cells to investigate the safety and efficacy of universal CAR-γδ T cells in the treatment of autoimmune diseases.

* To determine the most common clinical characteristics in patients with childhood -onset systemic lupus erythematosus. * To detect prevalence of low bone mineral density in patients with childhood -onset systemic lupus erythematosus.
NCT01716312
Background: * Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE or lupus) is an autoimmune disease, which means the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue resulting in inflammation and tissue damage. SLE can involve almost any organ and its symptoms can range in severity from mild to life-threatening; symptoms also vary from person to person. Current treatments for lupus are not effective for some people. Medications used to treat lupus can have serious side effects. * Omalizumab is a drug that has been used to treat severe allergic asthma. It helps to prevent allergic reactions by reducing some antibodies in the blood. These antibodies are also present in some people with Lupus. Researchers want to see if omalizumab is a safe and effective treatment for people with Lupus. Objectives: \- To test the safety of omalizumab for people with lupus. Eligibility: \- Individuals at least 18 years of age who have moderately active Lupus even with standard treatments. Design: * Subject screening will take place at the NIH Clinical Center and will include a medical history, a physical exam, blood and urine laboratory tests, an assessment of Lupus disease activity. Some participants may require some additional testing. All eligible persons who are interested in enrolling will be asked to come back to the NIH within 2 weeks to begin the study. * The study will be conducted in three phases, with a total of 15 study visits over 38 weeks. Two visits will be overnight hospital stays. The rest will be outpatient visits. During each visit the participants will be monitored by doing a physical exam, assessment of their lupus disease activity, review of any treatment related side effects, blood and urine testing. * For the first phase, participants will have infusions (under their skin) of either omalizumab or a placebo. They will have an overnight hospital stay for the first infusion and then an outpatient safety monitor visit 2 weeks after. If subjects safety measures are good they will return in 2 weeks and receive the second dose. They will then get three more doses every 4 weeks which will be given during outpatient visits to the NIH. * In the second phase, which begins at the 16th week of the study, all participants will receive omalizumab. This means that subjects who had been getting omalizumab will continue receiving it and subjects who had been receiving the placebo will now begin getting omalizumab. They will have an overnight hospital stay for this infusion and will return in 2 weeks for a safety monitor visit. If subjects safety measures are good they will return in 2 weeks and receive the next dose. They will then get three more doses every 4 weeks which will be given during outpatient visits to the NIH. * The third phase will be a final series of visits which will take place at week 32 and week 36. During these visits subjects will have a physical exam which includes disease activity assessment, blood and urine tests. No medication will be given during these visits. * All subjects will be given information, instruction and medications for possible allergic reactions to omalizumab. * Throughout the study other tests and procedures will be performed as needed.
