Blood transfusion and growth factors should not be used to meet these requirements within 7 days before the inclusion and exclusion screening. o Liver function: Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2× the upper limit of normal (ULN), and total bilirubin ≤ 2× the upper limit of normal (ULN). o Coagulation function: INR ≤ 1.5×ULN, prothrombin time (PT) ≤ 1.5×ULN. o Cardiac function: Good hemodynamic stability, left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 40%. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Previous history of CAR-T cell or other genetically modified T-cell therapies, or previous major organ transplantation. 2. Use of B-cell targeted drugs (such as rituximab) within 2 months before screening. 3. Allergy or intolerance to lymphodepletion drugs, tocilizumab, or life-threatening allergic reactions, hypersensitivity reactions, or intolerance to the CT1190B preparation or its excipients, or a history of other severe allergies such as anaphylactic shock. 4. Use of corticosteroids ≥ 10 mg/day of prednisone (or equivalent drug) within 10 days before the infusion of CT1190B. 5.

Use of JAK inhibitors (tofacitinib, baricitinib tablets, ruxolitinib, etc.) within 3 days before the infusion of CT1190B. 7. Vaccination with live-attenuated vaccines, inactivated vaccines, or RNA vaccines within 1 month before screening. 8. Diagnosis of cancer within 2 years before signing the ICF.
