Brief Summary

The goal of this study is to treat patients diagnosed with relapsed or refractory positive B cell lymphoma - positive for 2 or more target antigens - with CAR19.20.22 CAR T-cells. Based on the preclinical characteristics of the LTG2950, CAR19.20.22 tri-specific CAR T-cells the Investigators have developed the following hypotheses to be tested in our phase Ia clinical trial. The Investigators hypothesize that these novel CAR T-cells will show:

• good safety and tolerability
• a high degree of efficacy
• very good persistence
• an acceptable level of exhaustion

• Age Groups: Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Age ≥ 18 years
• Histologically confirmed relapsed/refractory B cell Lymphoma. Histologies allowed: diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), primary mediastinal large B cell lymphoma (PMBCL), Follicular Lymphoma (FL), transformed follicular lymphoma (tFL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), marginal zone lymphoma (MZL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL)/small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), Richter's transformation with or without concurrent CLL, Burkitt's lymphoma.
