7. Subjects with end-stage renal failure;
8. Have received any of the following SLE treatments:
1. Corticosteroid (defined as prednisone or equivalent\>20 mg/day) of therapeutic dose were used before enrollment or within 72 hours before BRL-301 infusion.
2. Use any other clinical study drugs for SLE within 4 weeks prior to enrollment. However, if the research treatment period is ineffective or the disease progresses, and at least 3 half-lives have passed before enrollment, enrollment is allowed.
3. Had received anti CD20 monoclonal antibody (such as Rituximab) within 4 weeks before screening, tetaximab within 6 weeks, or belizumab within 12 weeks.
4. Previous CAR-T cell or other genetically modified T Cell therapy.
9. Subjects with positive hepatitis B B surface antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) and HBV DNA titer in peripheral blood higher than the upper limit of detection; Patients with positive hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibodies and positive peripheral blood HCV RNA; People who are positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibodies; Those who have tested positive for syphilis;
10. Having mental illness and severe cognitive impairment;
11. Those who have participated in other clinical trials within the first 3 months of enrollment;
12. Pregnant or intending to conceive women;
13. Patients who are unsuitable for being included into this study as deemed by the investigator due to other reasons.
