Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Aged 14-78 years old (including 14 and 78 years old).

2. Clinical diagnosis of CD19+ B-cell hematological malignancies, including acute lymphoblastic leukemia, chronic lymphocytic leukemia and lymphoma.

3. Refractory/Relapsed B-cell malignancies:

A. Refractory/relapsed B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia, meeting one of the following criteria:

i. Recurrence within 6 months after first remission. ii. Primary refractory disease which cannot achieve complete remission (CR) after 2 cycles of standardized chemotherapy regimen.

iii. Failure to achieve CR or relapse after one line or multiple lines of salvage chemotherapy.

iv. Not suitable for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), or abandon HSCT due to various restrictions, or relapse after HSCT.

B. Refractory/relapsed B-cell lymphoma, meeting 1 of the first 4 items plus item 5: i. Tumor shrinkage less than 50% or disease progression after 4 cycles of standard chemotherapy.

ii. Achieved CR after standard chemotherapy, but relapsed within 6 months. iii. 2 or more relapses after CR. iv. Not suitable for HSCT, or abandon HSCT due to various restrictions, or relapse after HSCT.

v. Subjects must have received adequate treatment in the past, including anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody and combination chemotherapy with anthracyclines.

4. Having a measurable or evaluable lesion:

A. Patients with lymphoma require a single lesion≥15mm or 2 or more lesions≥10mm.

B. Patients with leukemia require persistent positive or positive relapse of bone marrow MRD.

5. The toxicity related to previous treatments had returned to < 1 level at enrollment (except for low grade toxicity such as alopecia).

6. Patients have good main organs functions:

A. Liver function: ALT/AST < 2.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN) and total bilirubin≤ 1.5 times ULN; B. Renal function: Creatinine clearance rate ≥ 60ml/min. C. Pulmonary function: Indoor oxygen saturation ≥ 95%. D. Cardiac Function: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50%, no clinically-significant ECG findings.

7. Estimated survival time≥3 months.

8. Patient or his or her legal guardian voluntarily participates in and signs an informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Central nervous system is involved in leukemia and lymphoma.

2. Known HIV positive patients.

3. CNS diseases, such as epilepsy, cerebral ischemia / hemorrhage, dementia, cerebellar diseases or any CNS related autoimmune diseases.

4. NYHA class III or higher cardiac failure, or with malignant arrhythmia.

5. Myocardial infarction, angioplasty or stent placement, unstable angina or other clinically significant heart history within 12 months before enrollment.

6. Patients who need immediate treatment to control tumor progression or relieve tumor burden.

7. Active autoimmune diseases requiring systemic immunosuppressive therapy.

8. History of symptomatic deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism within 6 months before enrollment.

9. Severe immediate hypersensitivity to any drug to be used in this study.

10. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

11. Other unsuitable conditions in the researchers' opinion.
