Purpose

This is a single arm, open-label, non-randomized, dose-escalation, phase I study to determine the safety and efficacy of CNCT19 in adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse Non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Detailed Description

      This is a single arm, open-label, non-randomized, dose-escalation, phase I study to determine
      the safety and efficacy of CNCT19 in adult patients with relapsed or refractory diffuse
      Non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The study will have the following sequential phases: Screening,
      Pre-Treatment (Cell Product Preparation & Lymphodepleting Chemotherapy), Treatment and
