Purpose

This is a Phase 1/2a, nonrandomized, open-label, parallel assignment, single-dose, dose-escalation, and dose-expansion study to evaluate the safety and clinical activity of PBCAR20A in adult study participants with r/r B-cell NHL (Cohort A) or r/r CLL/SLL (Cohort B).

Detailed Description

      This is a multicenter, nonrandomized, open-label, parallel assignment, single-dose,
      dose-escalation, and dose-expansion study to evaluate the safety and tolerability, find an
      appropriate dose to optimize safety and efficacy, and evaluate clinical activity of PBCAR20A
      in subjects with relapsed/refractory (r/r) Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) or r/r Chronic
      Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL). Before initiating PBCAR20A,
      subjects will be administered lymphodepletion chemotherapy composed of fludarabine and
      cyclophosphamide. At Day 0 of the Treatment Period, subjects will receive a single
      intravenous (IV) infusion of PBCAR20A. All subjects are monitored during the treatment period
      through Day 28. All subjects who receive a dose of PBCAR20A will be followed in a separate
      long-term follow-up (LTFU) study for 15 years after exiting this study.

Dose Level 1 of PBCAR20A CAR T cellsExperimental1 x 10^6 CAR T cells per kg body weight. In this study, PBCAR20A, allogeneic anti-CD20 CAR T Cells, is used to treat patients with relapsed or refractory (r/r) Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL) or r/r Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) or Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma (SLL). Route of Administration: Intravenous infusion. Lymphodepletion Conditioning: Lymphodepletion will be conducted several days prior to PBCAR20A infusion. A combination of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide will be used for lymphodepletion.

Eligibility Criteria

        Key Inclusion Criteria*

        Criteria for NHL:

          -  r/r B-cell NHL that is histologically confirmed by archived tumor biopsy tissue from
             the last relapse and corresponding pathology report.

          -  Measurable or detectable disease according to the Lugano classification.

          -  Primary refractory disease or r/r disease after a response to 2 prior regimens.

        Criteria for CLL/SLL:

          -  Diagnosis of CLL with indication for treatment based on the iwCLL guidelines and
             clinically measurable disease or SLL with measurable disease that is biopsy-proven
             SLL.

          -  Previously failed/tolerant to at least 2 prior lines of systemic targeted therapy of
             known benefit.

        Criteria for both NHL and CLL/SLL:

          -  Study participant has an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) Performance Status
             score of 0 or 1.

          -  Study participant has adequate bone marrow, renal, hepatic, pulmonary, and cardiac
