About

This study is an investigator-initiated single center, single arm clinical study with a target population of patients with relapsed or refractory B cell lymphoma / leukemia. It is an early exploratory clinical study of the safety, tolerability and initial efficacy of JY231 injection in the treatment of relapsed or refractory B cell lymphoma / leukemia.

Full description

This open-label, single-arm study is designed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of in vivo CAR-T cell therapy in patients with relapsed/refractory B cell lymphoma/leukaemia. Upon enrolment, leukapheresis will be performed and patients will receive 3-5 days of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide lymphodepleting therapy followed by an intravenous infusion of the JY231 preparation. Following the infusion, subjects will be evaluated for safety and efficacy for up to 24 months to determine if the disease is under control.

Enrollment: 20 estimated patients

Sex: All

Ages: 12 to 75 years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers
