  1. Liver function: aspartate transaminase (AST) ≤ 3 times the upper limit of normal (ULN); alanine transaminase (ALT) ≤ 3 times ULN; total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times ULN, unless the subject has a record of Gilbert syndrome; subjects with Gilbert-Meulengracht syndrome with total bilirubin ≤ 3.0 times ULN and direct bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times ULN can be included;
  2. Renal function: serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 times ULN, or creatinine clearance rate ≥ 60 mL/min;
  3. Blood routine: absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.5×10⁹/L; absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) ≥ 0.1×10⁹/L; hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 80 g/L; platelet count (PLT) ≥ 50×10⁹/L.

• Women of childbearing age must be non-lactating and have a negative serum pregnancy test within 1 week before administration. In addition, all subjects (whether male or female) must agree to use contraception during the period of NK510 treatment starting from enrollment and within 3 months after the end of treatment.

• Those with allergies to the study drug or other medications used in the study protocol.

• Those with any of the following conditions: ① Having received autologous/allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation within 3 months; ② Having received ultraviolet irradiation therapy within 6 weeks; ③ Having received biologic agent therapy (excluding other medications used in the study protocol) within 4 weeks or 3 half-lives (whichever is longer); ④ Having undergone major surgery or received live vaccines within 4 weeks; ⑤ Having received experimental treatment (except for definite placebo control groups) within 4 weeks.

• Those with other active, known, or suspected autoimmune diseases.

• Presence of uncontrolled active bacterial, viral, fungal, mycobacterial, or other infections requiring treatment with intravenous antibiotics, antiviral drugs, or antifungal drugs within 14 days before lymphodepleting conditioning; however, prophylactic use of these drugs (including intravenous administration) is allowed.

• History of immunodeficiency, including positive HIV test results, or other acquired/congenital immunodeficiency diseases, or history of organ transplantation.

• History of severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, including but not limited to: severe cardiac rhythm or conduction abnormalities (e.g., ventricular arrhythmias requiring clinical intervention, third-degree atrioventricular block, etc.); QTc interval > 480 ms on 12-lead electrocardiogram at rest; acute coronary syndrome, congestive heart failure, aortic dissection, stroke, or other grade 3 or higher cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events within 6 months before administration; New York Heart Association (NYHA) cardiac function class ≥ II or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 50%.

• Failure to fully recover from major surgery or trauma within 2 weeks before administration.

• History of malignant tumors.

• Screening results of hepatitis B or C virological tests meeting any of the following:

  1. HBsAg positive, and peripheral blood HBV-DNA titer ≥ 1×10³ copies/mL or upper limit of normal;
  2. Anti-HCV positive.

• Those deemed unsuitable for participation in the study by the investigator.
