Route of administration: Intravenous injection. Lymphodepletion conditioning: Lymphodepletion will be conducted several days prior to ssCART-19 cells infusion. A combination of fludarabine and cyclophosphamide will be used for lymphodepletion.

Biological: ssCART-19; Drug: Fludarabine; Drug: Cyclophosphamide

Interventions

ssCART-19 BIOLOGICAL

Split-Dose of ssCART-19 cells will be infused, and classic "3+3" dose escalation will be applied.

ssCART-19 Cells

Fludarabine DRUG

Fludarabine is used for lymphodepletion.

• Adequate organ function at screening defined as: a.Left ventricular ejection fraction ≥ 50% by echocardiogram. b.Creatinine ≤1.5× upper limit of normal (ULN), or creatinine clearance ≥ 60 mL/min (Cockcroft and Gault). c.ALT and AST≤3×ULN, total bilirubin ≤2×ULN. d.dyspnea (CTCAE v5.0) ≤ grade 1 (shortness of breath during moderate activity) and blood oxygen saturation \> 91% without oxygen inhalation as determined by investigators.
• Vascular conditions for apheresis.
• Females of childbearing potential who have a negative pregnancy test by blood human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) (immunofluorescence) during the screening period and who agree to use effective contraception for at least 1 year after the infusion; male subjects whose partner is a female of childbearing potential must agree to use an effective barrier method of contraception for at least 1 year after the infusion and to refrain from sperm donation
• The estimated survival time is more than 3 months

You may not qualify if:

• Isolated extra-medullary disease relapse (except central nervous system infiltration).
• Presence of other tumors that have not been eradicated within 5 years prior to screening that the investigator assesses may have a potential impact on the tumor.
• Has past or at screening CNS diseases other than this disease, such as epilepsy, cerebrovascular ischemia/hemorrhage, dementia, cerebellar diseases or any CNS-related autoimmune diseases.
• Has had treatment with any prior anti-CD19 therapy, except for leukemia cells with a positive proportion of CD19 ≥80%.
• Therapeutic systemic doses of hormone were stopped \< 72 hours prior to apheresis. However, the following physiological replacement doses of hormone are allowed: \< 10 mg/day prednisone or equivalent amounts of other steroid hormones.
• Received donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) within 6 weeks prior to ssCART-19 infusion
• Radiotherapy before ssCART-19 infusion:Non-CNS site of radiation completed \< 2 weeks prior to ssCART-19 Infusion; CNS directed radiation completed \< 8 weeks prior to ssCART-19 infusion.
