Safety and Efficacy Evaluation of CD19-UCART

A Safety and Efficacy Study of CD19-UCART (Allogeneic Engineered T-cells Expressing Anti-CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor) in Patients With Relapsed or Refractory B-cell Hematologic Malignancies

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of ascending doses of CD19-UCART in patients with relapsed or refractory B-cell hematological malignancies.

CD19-UCART is a kind of "off-the-shelf" product originated from health donor's PBMC.This is a open-label, dose estilation study to evaluate the safety and anti-tumor efficacy of CD19-UCART in the treatment of relapsed or refractory B-cell hematological malignancies.

Inclusion Criteria:

2. No other serious cardiopulmonary diseases, and normal liver and kidney functions (except for subjects with tumor lesions in their liver and kidneys);
3. Failure of T cell isolation during autologous CART preparation or failure of CART amplification or failure to complete apheresis or disease progression resulting in patients not benefiting from autologous CAR-T cell therapy; Or: T cell percentage in PBMC of peripheral blood ≤ 10%; Or the disease is not effectively controlled within one month after autologous CAR-T transfusion, and the patient cannot receive CAR-T transfusion again;
4. Flow cytometry within two months demonstrated positive expression of CD19 in the tumor (positive rate 50%-90%; Or biopsy ≥ 50% within 6 months; Or obtaining a biopsy again);
