What to Expect as a Participant

You will actively receive the study intervention — which may be a drug, biologic, device, or procedure.

Phase 1 is the earliest stage of human testing — safety and dosage are the primary focus. Visits are frequent and medical supervision is intensive. You will be among the first people to receive this treatment.

Significant clinical evidence of dementia or mental status changes; 2. History of any other central nervous system (CNS) disorders or neurodegenerative diseases, such as epilepsy, seizure, paralysis, aphasia, stroke, severe brain injury, dementia, Parkinson's disease, and psychosis; 3. Mental disorders or psychosocial conditions that place patients at unacceptable risk. * 14.Positive results in any of the following tests: 1. Positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody; 2. Positive for hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg); or positive for hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) with hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) above the lower limit of detection of the assay; 3. Positive for hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody with HCV ribonucleic acid (RNA) above the lower limit of detection of the assay; 4. Positive for antibodies against human T-cell lymphotropic virus types I and II; 5. Positive for syphilis antibody. As the immunosuppression included in this study may pose an unacceptable risk, those with active HIV infection, hepatitis B (positive for HBsAg), or HCV infection (positive for anti-HCV antibodies) are excluded. Subjects are allowed to have a previous history of hepatitis B or C, provided that viral load is shown to be below the limit of detection by quantitative polymerase chain reaction and/or nucleic acid testing. Hepatitis B surface antibodies produced following hepatitis B vaccination are not considered evidence of prior infection. * 15.Administration of a live attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to apheresis; * 16.Receipt of a different investigational drug in a clinical trial within 4 weeks prior to apheresis, or the time interval from the last dose of the investigational drug in the previous drug clinical trial to the informed consent form (ICF) signing date is still within 5 half-lives of that drug (whichever is longer); * 17.Splenectomy within 12 months prior to the signing of ICF; * 18.Prior therapy targeting CD19 and/or BCMA, or CAR T product therapy against any target; * 19.Within 4 weeks prior to the apheresis, the trial participants had received treatment with targeted B-cell therapies, including but not limited to rituximab, ofatumumab, or orelizumab; * 20.Patients treated with siponimod and ozanimod within 1 month prior to apheresis; * 21.Patients treated with fingolimod within 6 weeks prior to apheresis; * 22.Patients treated with teriflunomide within 3 months prior to apheresis; * 23.Patients treated with dimethyl fumarate therapy within 2 weeks prior to apheresis; * 24.Major surgery within 8 weeks before the signing of ICF or planned surgery during the study (except for subjects scheduled for surgery under local anesthesia, provided that the surgery will not be performed within 2 weeks after infusion); * 25.Previous history of organ transplantation; * 26.History of neuromyelitis optica spectrum disorder or myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein antibody-related disease, or neurological diseases suspected of MS at screening; * 27.History of CNS or spinal cord tumors, metabolic or infectious spinal cord lesions, hereditary progressive CNS diseases, sarcoidosis, or non-MS progressive neurological diseases that interfere with study assessments; * 28.CNS disorders, such as cerebrovascular ischemia/hemorrhage, dementia, previous or current spinal cord lesions, cerebellar diseases unrelated to MS, or other diseases deemed by the investigator to potentially interfere with neurotoxicity assessment; * 29.History of seizures, even if seizures have been well controlled with antiepileptic drugs; * 30.MS lesions or symptoms that have the potential to increase the risk of neurotoxicity, including but not limited to tumor-like lesions (≥ 3 cm in diameter within 5 years prior to screening) or depressed level of consciousness, and/or the presence of active, clinically significant concomitant CNS pathological changes other than MS, which may impact interpretation of study results or complicate identification or assessment of neurotoxicity; * 31\. Any contraindications to lumbar puncture (LP), including but not limited to: 1. Known or suspected structural abnormalities of the lumbar vertebra that, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with the conduct of LP or increase the risk of the procedure to the trial participant ; 2. Risk of increased or uncontrollable bleeding, including but not limited to vascular abnormalities or tumors at or around the LP site, coagulation cascade disorders, abnormal platelet function, or abnormal platelet counts; 3. Trial participants who are taking an anticoagulant (e.g., warfarin) or an antiplatelet agent (low-dose aspirin \[100 mg/day or less\] is permitted) do not meet the inclusion criteria unless the investigator considers it safe for the patient to temporarily discontinue the anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy for LP; * 32.Trial participants who are unwilling or unable to undergo MRI per protocol requirements, such as those who are unable to undergo MRI due to claustrophobia, or those with clear contraindications to MRI (e.g., metal implants, metal foreign bodies in the body, cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators, etc.); * 33.Circumstances that, as judged by the investigator, may hinder the subject's full participation in the study or confuse the study results, or render participation in this study not in the trial participant's best interests. * 34.Based on the Columbia-Suicidality Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS), participants have current suicidal intent, i.e., "yes" to question 4 (active suicidal ideation with intent to act but no specific plan) or question 5 (active suicidal ideation with specific plan and intent) on the C-SSRS or have a current history of suicidal behavior。
