- RRMS patients must also meet at least one of the following: they have tried at least one MS disease-modifying therapy that did not work well enough; they have had at least 2 relapses in the past 2 years, or 1 relapse plus at least one new active lesion on MRI in the past 2 years, or at least one new active lesion on MRI in the past 6 months; or at least 2 active lesions visible on a brain MRI scan at the time of screening.
- Bone marrow function must meet minimum thresholds: a neutrophil count of at least 1×10⁹/L (without recent use of colony-stimulating factor medications) and a haemoglobin level of at least 60g/L.
- Liver function must be within acceptable ranges: ALT and AST each no more than 3 times the upper limit of normal, and total bilirubin no more than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal.
- Kidney function must show a creatinine clearance rate of at least 30 ml/minute (calculated using the Cockcroft/Gault formula).
- Blood clotting function must be within acceptable ranges: INR and prothrombin time each no more than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal.

- People with a history of severe drug allergies or who are known to have a generally allergy-prone constitution.
- People with active infections (such as fungal, bacterial, or viral infections) that are uncontrolled or currently require treatment.
- People with active tuberculosis at the time of screening.
- People with significant heart dysfunction (classified above Grade II on the NYHA scale) that would prevent them from tolerating the study's cell collection and reinfusion procedures.
- People with a condition where the immune system cannot produce enough antibodies from birth (congenital immunoglobulin deficiency).
- People who have had a malignant tumour (cancer) that has not been in full remission within the past five years.
- People with end-stage kidney failure.
- People who test positive for hepatitis B surface antigen, hepatitis B core antibody with detectable HBV DNA, hepatitis C antibody with detectable HCV RNA, HIV antibody, or syphilis.
