Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age ≥ 18 years, no gender restrictions;
  • Clinically diagnosed with relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphoma, malignant B- cell lymphoma (according to the Lugano (2014) criteria, with at least one evaluable tumour lesion, defined as: Lymph node lesions with a longest diameter exceeding 1.5 cm, or extranodal lesions with a longest diameter exceeding 1.0 cm), including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL-NOS), encompassing activated B-cell (ABC)/grossly centre B-cell (GCB) subtypes, primary mediastinal (thymic) large B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL), transformative follicular lymphoma (TFL), high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBCL) with MYC and BCL2 and/or BCL6 rearrangements,follicular lymphoma (FL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), marginal zone lymphoma (MZL)

    1. Relapsed B-cell lymphoma is defined as disease progression following ≥2 systemic therapies;
    2. Refractory disease is defined as failure to achieve complete remission (CR) on first-line therapy, or best response to first-line therapy being disease progression (PD), or best response after at least 4 cycles of first-line therapy being stable disease (SD)(e.g., 4 cycles of R-CHOP), or best response after at least 6 cycles being partial remission (PR) with biopsy-confirmed residual disease or disease progression within ≤6 months of treatment.
  • Cytologically or histologically confirmed CD19-positive tumour cell immunophenotyping;
  • Expected survival exceeding 3 months;
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0-2;
  • Major organ function meeting the following criteria: Echocardiogram showing left ventricular ejection fraction ≥50%; serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × upper limit of normal (ULN); alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3 × ULN; total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 × ULN;
  • Negative pregnancy test for women of childbearing potential; both male and female subjects must agree to use effective contraception during treatment and for 1 year thereafter;
  • Toxicity from prior antineoplastic therapy ≤ Grade 1 (per CTCAE version 5.0) or acceptable to the inclusion/exclusion criteria;
  • No significant hereditary disorders;
  • Ability to comprehend trial requirements and procedures, with willingness to participate in the clinical study as directed;
  • Signing of the trial informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Presence of central nervous system (CNS) involvement or clinically significant history of CNS disorders, such as epilepsy and cerebrovascular disease;
  • Pregnant or lactating women, or women unwilling to use effective contraception during treatment and for 1 year post-treatment;
  • Unremitted other malignancies;
  • Patients with primary immunodeficiency or autoimmune diseases requiring immunosuppressive therapy;
  • Patients who received allogeneic immune cell therapy within 6 months prior to enrolment, or donor lymphocyte infusion within 6 weeks prior to enrolment;
  • Confirmed serum reactivity positive for anti-FMC63 and DSA;
  • Patients participating in other clinical trials within 4 weeks prior to enrolment;
  • Uncontrolled infectious diseases or other serious conditions, including but not limited to infections (Human Immunodeficiency Virus, acute or chronic active hepatitis B or C), congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, arrhythmias, or conditions deemed to pose unpredictable risks by the treating physician;
  • History of stroke or intracranial haemorrhage within 3 months prior to enrolment;
  • Major surgery or trauma within 28 days prior to enrolment, or unresolved significant adverse events;
  • History of allergy to any component of the cell product;
  • Inability to comprehend or unwillingness to sign the informed consent form;
  • Other reasons deemed by the investigator to render the patient unsuitable for the clinical trial.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Adult patients with relapsed/refractory CD19-positive B-cell lymphoma

A conditional chemotherapy regimen of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide will be administered, followed by investigational therapy, QH103 Cells

Interventions:

Biological: QH103 Cell Injection Drug: Fludarabine Drug: Cyclophosphamide

Biological: CD 19-CAR T cell Following lymphodepletion with chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine) patients will be treated with dose escalation (3+3) : dose 1 (3×10^8 CAR+cells) ,dose 2 (6× 10^8 CAR+cells).
Other Names:
  • CD19CAR-γδT cell injection
Eligible subjects will undergo lymphodepletion chemotherapy 5 to 3 days prior to cell infusion. The recommended lymphodepletion regimen comprises cyclophosphamide (500-1000 mg/m² administered 3 days).
Eligible subjects will receive lymphodepletion chemotherapy 5 to 3 days prior to cell infusion. The recommended lymphodepletion regimen comprises fludarabine (30-40 mg/m² administered 3 days).

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
