* Study participants must sign a written informed consent form approved by the Ethics Committee prior to the initiation of any screening procedures.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Previously diagnosed definite lymphoproliferative neoplasms; other malignant tumors within the past 5 years (excluding cured basal cell carcinoma of the skin, squamous cell carcinoma of the skin, superficial bladder cancer, breast carcinoma in situ, and cervical carcinoma in situ).
* Secondary AIHA caused by drugs or infection.
* Presence of active hepatitis or a history of severe liver disease or condition during the screening period:

  2. Hepatitis C: Anti-HCV positive and HCV RNA ≥ lower limit of quantification (LLoQ).
  3. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody positive.
  4. Active syphilis infection (excluding those with only positive syphilis-specific antibodies).

  4. Myocardial infarction within the past 6 months.
  5. Other cardiac diseases considered unsuitable for enrollment by the investigator.
* Undergone major surgery within the past 4 weeks that is deemed by the investigator as unsuitable for enrollment.
* Presence of active infection (e.g., sepsis, bacteremia, fungemia, uncontrolled pulmonary infection, active tuberculosis, etc.); active infection requiring intravenous anti-infective therapy within 7 days prior to screening.
* Receipt of CAR T-cell therapy within 6 months prior to screening, or positivity for ADA, or positivity for HAMA, or receipt of in vivo CAR T-cell therapy within the previous 6 months; or a history of severe immediate hypersensitivity reaction to any cellular product, excipients, or related drugs used in this study.
* Individuals with a history of epilepsy or other active central nervous system diseases (including but not limited to cerebrovascular accident, cerebral hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, severe traumatic brain injury, dementia, organic brain syndrome, etc.).
* Women with a positive pregnancy test or who are breastfeeding; women of childbearing potential and all male study participants who are unwilling or unable to use effective contraceptive methods during the study period and for at least 12 months after study drug infusion.
* Any other condition or circumstance that, in the investigator's opinion, would make the participant unsuitable for participation in this study.

• META 10-19 CAR T-Cell Therapy · EXPERIMENTAL · Participants will receive META 10-19 CAR T-cell infusion. Participants will be closely monitored for 24 hours after infusion. Hospitalization for a minimum of 14 days after infusion is recommended. The duration of hospitalization and observation will be determined based on the investigator's clinical assessment of the participant's condition.
