Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults 18–75 with AIHA or Evans syndrome who have failed at least three lines of therapy and meet study criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who do not respond to HY001N or who experience safety concerns may not see benefit.
A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.
What this trial studies
This is a Phase 1 interventional study conducted in Chinese hospitals to evaluate the safety and tolerability of HY001N cell injection in adults with refractory autoimmune hemolytic anemia (AIHA) or Evans syndrome after failure of ≥3 lines of therapy. The study will also explore the recommended Phase II dose and gather preliminary data on efficacy, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and immunogenicity. A total of 9 to 12 participants will be recruited at a single center (Institute of Hematology & Blood Diseases Hospital, Tianjin). Primary endpoints focus on safety and dose determination, while secondary endpoints assess responses (CR/CRi/PR) and biological characteristics. Eligible adults aged 18–75 with AIHA or Evans syndrome who meet specified treatment failure criteria may enroll after informed consent.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, participants may experience improvements in hemoglobin levels and hemolytic markers, potentially reducing anemia symptoms.
How similar studies have gone: This is a first-in-class Phase 1 study; prior data on HY001N in AIHA are not specified, so outcomes are not yet established in this setting.

Inclusion Criteria:
1. Participant and/or participant's legal representative fully understand and voluntarily sign informed consent forms;
2. Aged 18 to 75 years, regardless of gender;
3. Participants with autoimmune hemolytic anemia or Evans syndrome after Failure ≥3 lines of therapy. The Failure of ≥3 lines of therapy meet all the following conditions: Hemoglobin less than 10g/dL and symptoms of anemia;
For participants diagnosed warm AIHA, or mixed AIHA, or Evans syndrome:
Failure of first-line corticosteroid therapy; Failure of second-line rituximab therapy; Failure of any one or more of the third-line treatments (splenectomy, cyclosporine, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, fludarabine, bortezomib, etc.)
For participants diagnosed cold AIHA (cold agglutinin disease):
Failure of first-line rituximab therapy; Failure of second-line rituximab ± Bendamostine/fludalabine; Failure of third-line therapy (bortezomib, Sutimlimab, Pegcetacoplan, Eculizumab, etc.)
4. Women of childbearing age must have a negative blood pregnancy test within 7 days prior to the initiation of conditioning. Any male or female subject of reproductive potential must agree to use effective contraception throughout the study period and for at least 2 year following the infusion of CAR T-cells. In the judgment of the investigator, a subject of reproductive potential refers to having the biological capacity to conceive or father a living child and being sexually active. Women who considered infertile (i.e., meeting at least one of the following criteria): Has undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy, or Medically confirmed ovarian failure, or is medically confirmed as postmenopausal (defined as at least 12 consecutive months of amenorrhea without pathological or physiological causes).
5. Laboratory tests of adequate organ function: Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤3×ULN; Coagulation profile: INR ≤ 1.5×ULN and aPTT ≤ 1.5×ULN; Serum creatinine ≤1.5×ULN or CCr ≥ 60mL/min; and have a minimum level of pulmonary reserve defined as the blood oxygen saturation in a non-oxygenated state is \> 91%.

Exclusion Criteria:
1. History of lymphoproliferative neoplasms
2. Secondary AIHA caused by drugs or infection
3. Pregnancy or lactation

5. History of new thrombotic event or organ infarction in the past 6 months
6. Diagnosis of the active stage of connective tissue disease
7. Had other inherited or acquired hemolytic diseases
8. Have active infections, such as sepsis, bacteremia, fungemia, uncontrolled pulmonary infection and active tuberculosis, etc.

10. Received major surgery within 4 weeks before screening that was assessed by the researcher as unsuitable for enrollment
11. Have malignant tumors within 5 years before enrollment, except tumors with negligible risk of metastasis or death and curable tumors, such as adequately treated cervical carcinoma in situ, cutaneous basal cell carcinoma, etc.
12. Have any of the following cardiovascular diseases: a. Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤45%, b. presence of active heart disease or congestive heart failure (New York Heart Association \[NYHA\] Class III or IV)), c. severe arrhythmias requiring treatment (except atrial fibrillation, paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia), d. QTcB interval
