Milestone! Symptoms completely disappeared, dual-antibody treatment of autoimmune diseases published in the New England Journal of Medicine

Targeting B cells and plasma cells is a key strategy for treating a variety of autoimmune diseases. In recent years, chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapy has made some progress in autoimmune diseases, and many patients who received CD19-targeted CAR-T therapy have achieved long-term drug-free remission. However, the long production process of this type of therapy, the need for patients to undergo pretreatment in advance, and the inability to flexibly adjust the dose of CAR-T cells after the start of treatment have limited its widespread application. In addition, for some patients, their disease may be caused by long-lived plasma cells that express B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) but not CD19. Therefore, even after receiving CD19-targeted CAR-T therapy, autoimmune antibodies such as antinuclear antibodies and polymyositis-scleroderma-associated antibodies (PM-Scl) still exist in patients. In view of the limitations of CAR-T therapy in the application of autoimmune diseases, researchers have set their ...
