Summary

This trial will test if it's safe to give patients their own genetically modified T cells, which have been changed to target the B cell surface antigen CD19.

Who is the study for?
Adults with certain types of B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma that have relapsed or didn't respond to previous treatments can join. They should not be eligible for stem cell transplant, must have tried at least two systemic therapies, and still show CD19 positive cells. Key organ functions need to be within normal ranges, they shouldn't have other active cancers or severe illnesses, and women who can get pregnant must agree to use contraception for a year after treatment.
What is being tested?
The trial is testing genetically modified T cells that target CD19 on the surface of B cells. Patients will receive Cyclophosphamide and Fludarabine as part of the preparation before getting these anti-CD19 CAR-T cells infused into their bloodstream.
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include immune system reactions leading to symptoms like fever and fatigue (cytokine release syndrome), nerve damage symptoms (neurotoxicity), allergic reactions during infusion, low blood cell counts increasing infection risk, and potential harm to organs such as liver or kidneys.

Apheresis (1 day): Autologous lymphocytes/ mononuclear cell collection will be collected through standard apheresis procedures as per University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) institutional practices CAR-T cell manufacturing (estimated \~13-14 days) Lymphodepleting chemotherapy: 3 days of immunosuppressive chemotherapy. Cyclophosphamide given at a dose of 300 mg/m2/IV and fludarabine given at 30 mg/m2 /IV on days -5, -4, and -3. CAR-T cell infusion (1 day): The infusion of CAR-T cells targeting CD19 will occur over 5-30 minutes.
