Overview
Brief Summary
The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the safety and feasibility of escalating doses of autologous activated peripheral blood T lymphocytes (ATLs) genetically modified to express third-generation CARs (comprising the CD28 and CD137 (4-1BB) costimulatory domain) that target the CD19 molecule in patients with refractory or relapsed CD19+ lymphoid disease such as ALL or NHL including CLL, DLBCL, FL and/or MCL.
