- Coagulation function:
- International Normalized Ratio (INR) ≤ 1.5 × ULN,
- Prothrombin time (PT) ≤ 1.5 × ULN.
- Cardiac function: good hemodynamic stability, left ventricular Ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 55%;
- Female patients of childbearing potential and male patients whose female sexual partners are of childbearing age should adopt medically recognized contraceptive measures or abstain from sex within at least 6 months after infusion of BRL-301; female patients of childbearing age should have a negative serum HCG test result within 7 days before study enrollment and be not breastfeeding;
- Willing to participate in this clinical study, sign an ICF, and complete follow-ups, with good compliance.
Exclusion
- Have a serious history of Drug allergy or allergic constitution;

- Corticosteroid (defined as prednisone or equivalent\>20 mg/day) of therapeutic dose were used before enrollment or within 72 hours before BRL-301 infusion.
- 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.
- Had received anti CD20 monoclonal antibody (such as Rituximab) within 4 weeks before screening, tetaximab within 6 weeks, or belizumab within 12 weeks.
- Previous CAR-T cell or other genetically modified T Cell therapy.
- 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;
