Overview
This study is testing Allo-QuadCAR01-T, a new off-the-shelf CAR-T therapy for people with hard-to-treat B-cell cancers. Unlike current CAR-T treatments that use a patient's own cells, this therapy uses donor cells that are ready to use, which can save time and reduce costs. It targets two proteins, CD19 and CD20, to lower the chance of relapse and uses gene editing to make it safer. The trial has three parts: first to find a safe dose, then to confirm it, and finally to test how well it works in patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Patients will get one infusion after chemotherapy to prepare their body. The main goal is to check safety and see how many patients have a complete response by Week 13. About 160 patients will take part, and researchers will follow them for up to 15 years.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:

- ECOG performance status 0-1 (able to carry out daily activities).
- Adequate organ function (heart, liver, kidneys).
- HLA B/C match with donor cells.
- No active uncontrolled infections.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Active CNS involvement (including PCNSL) in dose escalation cohorts; may be allowed in later cohorts with Sponsor approval.
- Prior CAR-T within 3 months of screening, or ≥Grade 3 ICAHT from prior CAR-T.
- Autologous stem cell transplant within 3 months.
- Prior allogeneic stem cell transplant or solid organ transplant.
- Prior therapy with dual CD19/CD20 CAR-T.
- Severe hypersensitivity to trial agents or similar compounds.
- History of GvHD or post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder.
- Presence of La/SS-B autoantibodies or related autoimmune diseases.
- Other malignancy that may interfere with trial, except:
- Curatively treated basal/squamous skin cancer or cervical carcinoma in situ
- Low-grade, early-stage prostate cancer (Gleason ≤6, Stage 1-2) with no therapy needed
- Adjuvant endocrine therapy for non-metastatic breast cancer (≥2 years)
