Exclusion Criteria: Have a serious history of Drug allergy or allergic constitution; Fungi, bacteria, viruses, or other infections that are uncontrollable or require intravenous medication treatment exist or are suspected; Central nervous system disease caused by SLE or not (including epilepsy, psychosis, organic encephalopathy syndrome, cerebrovascular accident, encephalitis, central nervous system Vasculitis); Individuals with relatively serious heart diseases, such as angina pectoris, myocardial infarction, heart failure, and arrhythmia; Subjects with congenital immunoglobulin deficiency; Other malignant tumors (excluding non Melanoma skin cancer, cervical cancer in situ, bladder cancer cancer and breast cancer that have survived for more than 5 years without disease); Subjects with end-stage renal failure; Have received any of the following SLE treatments: 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; Having mental illness and severe cognitive impairment; Those who have participated in other clinical trials within the first 3 months of enrollment; Pregnant or intending to conceive women; Patients who are unsuitable for being included into this study as deemed by the investigator due to other reasons.
