Overview

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.

    • Platelet≥50.000/mm3;
    • Hemoglobin>8.0 g/dl;
12. Subjects using the following drugs need to meet the following conditions:
    • Steroids: The therapeutic dose of steroids must be stopped 72 hours before JY231 infusion. However, physiological alternative doses of steroids are allowed;
    • Immunosuppression: Any immunosuppressive drug must be stopped at ≥4 weeks prior to enrollment;
    • Antiproliferative therapy other than lymphodepletion chemotherapy within two weeks of infusion;
    • Cluster of Differentiation 20(CD20) antibody-related therapy must be stopped within 4 weeks before infusion or 5 half-lives after the CD20 antibody;
    • CNS disease prophylaxis must be stopped 1 week before JY231 infusion (e. g. intrathecal methotrexate).
13. Reproductive men, sexual partners ensure effective contraception; fertile women,

    adopted effective contraception and agreed to use contraception throughout the study period.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Subjects with active cerebrospinal fluid malignant cells or brain metastases, or subjects with active central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma, or CNS leukaemia;
2. Subjects with a history of active CNS disease, such as seizures, cerebrovascular ischemia / hemorrhage, dementia, cerebellar disease, or any autoimmune disease associated with CNS involvement;
3. Subjects who have received other study drugs within 30 days before screening, or are still in the washout period;
4. Patients who have previously received any anti-CD19 / anti-Cluster of Differentiation 3(CD3) therapy or any other anti-CD19 therapy (except for those with normal T cell numbers and function and with CD19-positive tumors);
5. Patients who have been previously treated with any gene therapy product, including Chimeric Antigen Receptor T(CAR-T) therapy (except patients who do not have CAR-T cells in vivo and have normal T cell number and function and are with CD19 positive tumors);
6. Subjects with radiation therapy within 2 weeks prior to the infusion;
7. Subjects with active hepatitis B (defined as Hepatitis B Virus(HBV) DNA test value> 500 IU / mL) or hepatitis C (HCV RNA positive); subjects with HIV positive or treponema pallidum positive;
8. Subjects with uncontrolled acute life-threatening bacterial, viral, or fungal infection (e. g. positive blood culture 72 hours before infusion);
