Study Summary

This trial tests a new type of cancer treatment that assesses safety, how it works in the body, and how effective it is. It will be done in two parts to determine the best dose level.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for individuals with CD19+ cancers, such as Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Participants must have proper kidney and liver function, no active graft-versus-host disease or need for immunosuppression post-transplant, stable breathing capacity, and evidence of active cancer within the last 12 weeks. They should not be on dialysis or have severe heart issues.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests TmCD19-IL18 CAR T cells to find a safe dose level and assess its safety, tolerability, manufacturing feasibility, pharmacokinetics (how the drug moves through the body), and initial effectiveness in treating CD19+ cancers using a two-phase approach: Dose-Finding followed by Dose Expansion.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not explicitly listed but may include typical reactions to CAR T-cell therapies like fever, fatigue, immune system reactions affecting different organs (cytokine release syndrome), neurological events among others.
