• 3. Participants with diffuse or limited cutaneous SSc and ILD must meet both of the following criteria: ILD, i.e. fibrosis on HRCT within 4 months of screening AND Progression of ILD by FVC or HRCT in previous 24 months
• 4. FVC ≥ 45% predicted, DLCO ≥ 40%
• 5. Exclude PAH defined as RVSP ≥ 45 mmHg or right atrial or ventricular enlargement or dilatation, or renal crisis within 1 year of enrollment
• 1. Diagnosis of AAV defined as either GPA or MPA according to the 2012 Chapel Hill Consensus Conference
• 2. Positive for PR3-ANCA or MPO-ANCA
• 3. Relapsed or refractory AAV after at least 1 standard-of-care immunosuppressive regimen in addition to steroids.
• 4. Severe disease (i.e., presence of one or more major AAV sign or symptom per the BVAS or ≥ 3 minor items, or at least the 2 renal items of proteinuria and hematuria due to vasculitis)
• 5. Adequate renal function: CrCl ≥ 30 mL/min
• 6. Proteinuria ≤ 8 g/24 hour
• 1. Meets the 2017 ACR/EULAR classification criteria (Lundberg 2017) for probable/definite IIM
• 2. Muscle weakness defined as Manual Muscle Testing (MMT)-8 score \< 142/150, and ≥ 2 of the following abnormal core set measures: (i) Patient global assessment VAS ≥ 2 cm (on 10-cm VAS), (ii) Physician global assessment VAS ≥ 2 cm (10-cm VAS), (iii) HAQ-DI \> 0.25 , (iv) Extra-muscular global activity VAS ≥ 2 cm (10-cm VAS)
• 3. Active disease defined as ≥ 1 of the following signs in the past 4 months: a) Elevated serum CK or aldolase levels ≥ 3 times ULN; b) Active myositis by muscle biopsy, muscle MRI, or EMG; c) Active DM rash and CDASI \>14; d) Active interstitial lung disease
• 4. Positivity for ≥ 1 myositis-specific antibody or myositis-associated antibody at screening
• 5. Inadequate response or intolerance/contraindication to glucocorticoids and to ≥ 2 immunosuppressants for 3 months/drug
• 1. Meets the 2009 criteria for diagnosis of stiff person syndrome (SPS) (Dalakas 2009): (a) Stiffness of the axial muscles, particularly the abdominal and thoraco-lumbar paraspinals, leading to hyperlordosis; (b) Superimposed painful spasms triggered by unexpected tactile or auditory stimuli; (c) Severe anxiety with task-specific phobias especially in anticipation of physically challenging tasks; (d) Electromyographic evidence of continuous motor unit activity of agonist and antagonist muscles; (e) Absence of other neurological findings that may suggest an alternative diagnosis; (f) Highly positive anti-GAD titer (\> 10,000 IU/mL in serum by ELISA or detectable in CSF)
• 2. Inadequate response or intolerance or contraindication to ≥ 1 treatment including chronic IVIG or other biologic
• 1. Presence of severe liver disease, Child-Pugh class B or C.
• 2. Prior treatment with any gene therapy, genetically modified cell therapy, or adoptive T cell therapy.
• 3. Autoimmune disease requiring prednisone higher than 0.5 mg/kg/day (or corticosteroid equivalent).
• 4. Subjects unwilling to participate in an extended safety monitoring period (LTFU protocol)
• 5. History of a clinically significant infection (including sepsis, pneumonia, bacteremia, fungal, viral and opportunistic infections) within 4 weeks prior to first dose of study drug which in the opinion of the Investigator may compromise the safety of the subject in the study.
