Brief Summary
A Study of Metabolically Armed CD19 CAR-T Cells Therapy for Patients With Relapsed and/or Refractory CD19-positive B cell Hematological Malignancies
Detailed Description
This is a single arm, open-label study. This study is indicated for relapsed or refractory CD19-positive B cell Hematological Malignancies.
- Main research objectives:

- •For participants who had failed prior CD19-CAR T cell therapy: at least 30-days has elapsed since participant received last CD19-CAR T cell therapy.
- •Presence at least one measurable lesion at baseline, as per the initial assessment, staging and response assessment recommendations for Hodgkin's and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (2014 edition).
- •Life expectancy ≥ 12 weeks.
- •Organ function:
- •Complete blood count (CBC) test results should meet the following criteria within 24 hours before apheresis (Avoid blood/platelet transfusion, cell growth factors (except recombinant erythropoietin) and other supportive treatments within 7 days prior to the test):
- •Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC) ≥ 0.5×10^9 /L (except for those receiving bridging chemotherapy).
- •Platelet (PLT) ≥ 25×10^9 /L.
- •Hemoglobin (Hb) ≥ 70.0 g/L
- •Blood biochemistry:
- •Serum creatinine (Scr) ≤ 1.5× Upper limit of normal (ULN), or Creatinine Clearance (Ccr) ≥ 40 mL/min (calculated using the Cockcroft-Gault formula).
- •Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 2.5×ULN.
- •Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 2.5×ULN.
