Summary:
This study is a single-arm, open-label early exploratory clinical trial designed to

Detailed description:
This study is a single-arm, open-label early exploratory clinical trial designed to
evaluate the safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of GC012F injection in
subjects with refractory GMG. Additionally, the study aims to assess the pharmacokinetic
(PK), pharmacodynamic (PD) characteristics, and immunogenicity of GC012F injection in
subjects.
The trial consists of several phases: screening period, apheresis day, baseline period,
lymphodepletion period, pre-infusion assessment period, GC012F infusion period, safety
and efficacy follow-up period, long-term follow-up period, and study discontinuation
visit (if applicable).
Qualified subjects will undergo apheresis and receive the infusion after the production
of CAR-T products. Subjects will undergo lymphodepletion before CAR-T cell infusion and
assessment before infusion. Subjects meeting the cell infusion criteria will receive
CAR-T cell infusion according to the dose specified in the protocol. Dose adjustments may
occur based on safety and clinical efficacy for subjects in the same group or subsequent
trial groups.
