Clinical Trial Summary

Although the anti-CD19 CAR-T cell therapies have gained significant results in patients with relapsed and refractory B-cell hematologic malignancies. To make a further improvement, adapting the FasT CAR-T cells manufacture technology to shorten the manufacturing time and maintain the stemness of CAR-T cells. We launch such a clinical trial using CD19 targeted CAR-T cells for patients with relapsed and refractory B-cell NHL to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CD19 targeted CAR-T cell therapy.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

Subjects must meet the following criteria for inclusion in the study:

1. Male or female subjects between the ages of 18 and 70(including critical values);

2. Subjects histologically confirmed as diffuse diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), transformed follicular lymphoma (TFL), primary mediastinal B cell lymphoma (PMBCL) and mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) :

1. Refractory B-NHL :Subjects of which the best response to standard first-line treatment is PD,(those intolerant to first-line treatment will not be included in this study). Subjects of which the best response to at least four courses of first-line treatment is SD, with a duration of SD less than 6 months after the last treatment. Subjects of which the best response to the last course of second-line treatment or above treatments is PD or the best response to at least two courses of second-line treatment or above treatments is SD, with a duration of SD less than 6 months.

2. Relapsed B-NHL:The disease relapses confirmed by histopathology in subjects who achieved complete remission after standard systematic treatment and second-line treatment. Or the disease relapses confirmed by histopathology within 1 year after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (not limited to the previous therapeutic regimen) ; c) Previous treatment must include CD20 monoclonal antibody (except patients with CD20 negative B cell NHL) and anthracycline; d) Subjects with TFL must receive chemotherapyInclusion criteria: Subjects must meet the following criteria for inclusion in the study:

Relapsed B-NHL:The disease relapses confirmed by histopathology in subjects who achieved complete remission after standard systematic treatment and second-line treatment. Or the disease relapses confirmed by histopathology within 1 year after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (not limited to the previous therapeutic regimen) ; Subjects with TFL must receive chemotherapy before transformation and meet the above definition of relapse or refractory after transformation.
