4. Disease duration of more than 6 months, with persistent disease activity or progression despite receiving conventional treatment for ≥ 2 months, or recurrence of disease activity after disease remission. Definition of conventional treatment: Use of glucocorticoids plus at least one of the following immunomodulators: cyclophosphamide, cyclosporine, and biological agents (including rituximab, etc.).
5. No systemic active infection (e.g., infectious pneumonia, pulmonary tuberculosis) within 2 weeks before leukapheresis.
6. Expected survival time of more than 3 months from the date of signing the informed consent form.
7. Peripheral blood routine meeting the following requirements simultaneously: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1000/μL; hemoglobin (HGB) ≥ 60 g/L; platelet count (PLT) ≥ 30,000/μL.

   Hepatic, renal, cardiopulmonary functions meeting the following requirements:
   1. Creatinine ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN);
   2. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 50%;
   3. Oxygen saturation \> 90%;
   4. Total bilirubin ≤ 4 × ULN;
   5. Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5 × ULN.
8. Studies in patients with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status score of 0-2.
9. Female study participants of childbearing potential (defined as all female participants who are physiologically capable of becoming pregnant) must agree to use highly effective contraceptive methods from at least 28 days before the start of lymphodepletion until 2 years after CAR-T cell infusion (including the period of study treatment with dose interruptions). Male participants whose partners are of childbearing potential must agree to use effective barrier contraceptive methods from the start of lymphodepletion until 2 years after CAR-T cell infusion, and must not donate semen or sperm throughout the study period.
10. Female study participants of childbearing potential must have a negative result in serum beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG) testing both at screening and within 48 hours before the first dose of lymphodepletion treatment.
11. Participants must voluntarily agree to participate in this study and sign the informed consent form. Vulnerable populations may be included in the study. If a study participant is unable to read or sign the informed consent form due to incapacity or other reasons, their legal guardian must act as a proxy to go through the informed consent process and sign the form. If a study participant is unable to read the informed consent form (e.g., illiterate participants), a witness must be present to observe the informed consent process and sign the form.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Concomitant diagnosis of any type of tumor, which is deemed unsuitable for participation in this study by the investigator.
2. A history of clinically significant central nervous system (CNS) diseases or pathological changes caused by non-autoimmune diseases prior to screening, including but not limited to: cerebrovascular accident, aneurysm, epilepsy, convulsions/seizures, aphasia, stroke, severe brain injury, dementia, Parkinson's disease, cerebellar disease, organic brain syndrome, or psychosis.
3. A history of major organ transplantation (e.g., heart, lung, kidney, liver) or hematopoietic stem cell/bone marrow transplantation.
4. Presence of IgA deficiency at screening (serum IgA level \< 10 mg/dL).
5. Presence of any of the following conditions at screening:

   1. Active hepatitis (hepatitis B virus deoxyribonucleic acid \[HBV-DNA\] or hepatitis C virus ribonucleic acid \[HCV-RNA\] test results above the lower limit of detection);
   2. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, known acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS), or syphilis infection.
6. A history of any of the following cardiovascular diseases within 6 months prior to screening: New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class III or IV heart failure, myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, uncontrolled or symptomatic atrial arrhythmia, any ventricular arrhythmia, or other heart diseases with significant clinical significance.
7. Having received any of the following treatments for autoimmune diseases:a) Use of therapeutic-dose corticosteroids (defined as prednisone or its equivalent \> 20 mg/day) within 7 days before leukapheresis;b) Use of any other investigational drugs for autoimmune diseases within 4 weeks before leukapheresis, except for cases where the drug was ineffective or disease progressed during the investigational treatment, and at least 3 half-lives have passed before leukapheresis (enrollment is permitted in such cases);c) Previous receipt of CAR-T cell therapy or other genetically modified T cell therapies.
8. A history of grade ≥ 2 bleeding within 30 days before screening, or long-term continuous treatment with anticoagulant drugs (e.g., warfarin, low-molecular-weight heparin, or factor Xa inhibitors, etc.).
9. Having undergone plasma exchange, plasmapheresis, hemodialysis, or intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) administration within 14 days before leukapheresis.
10. Use of any live vaccines for infectious diseases within 8 weeks before CAR-T cell infusion.
11. Pregnant or lactating women.
12. Known life-threatening allergic reactions, hypersensitivity reactions, or intolerance to the CAR-T cell preparation or its excipients (including DMSO).

• CD19/BCMA CAR-T Cell Therapy for Relapsed/Refractory Warm Antibody Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia · OTHER

This study is an open-label, single-arm, prospective, multicenter, phase I/II clinical trial. It adopts the two-stage optimal design proposed by Bryant and Day to investigate the efficacy, safety, and in vivo pharmacokinetic characteristics of CD19/BCMA CAR-T cell therapy in the treatment of relapsed/refractory warm antibody autoimmune hemolytic anemia.
