Who can take part

You may be able to join if

  • 1. Male or female, ≥ 18 years old.
  • 10. Life expectancy of ≥ 3 months as assessed by the Investigator.
  • 11. Central venous access or willingness to have one.

  • 13. A woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) may be enrolled if she has a negative serum pregnancy test at Screening visit and is willing to use a highly effective method of birth control (Pearl index of ≤ 1 required) resulting in a low failure rate (e.g., hormonal contraception, intrauterine device, total sexual abstinence, or sterilization) for at least 12 months after LD chemotherapy. Male patients must also practice a highly effective method of birth control and should not father a child or donate sperm for at least 6 months after end of LD chemotherapy.
  • 2. Willing and able to give written informed consent.

You likely can't join if

  • 1. Active CNS involvement (including PCNSL) is excluded from dose escalation cohorts. However, these individuals may be enrolled to established safe dose cohorts (i.e., backfill cohorts, dose expansion) with Sponsor approval.
  • 7. History of graft versus host disease (GvHD) or post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder.
  • 8. Presence of autoantibodies against La/SS-B or presence or history of autoimmune diseases associated with such antibodies.

  • 13. Active or residual HBV, HCV, or syphilis.
  • 14. Active HIV disease. Individuals with positive HIV history may be included with Sponsor approval after Phase Ia dose escalation if: • Ongoing antiretroviral treatment for ≥ 6 months • Adherence to antiretroviral treatment per Investigator judgement and leading to good treatment response • Good treatment response, defined by absence of clinical symptoms (including infectious and constitutional), normal blood CD4+ count (at least 500 cells /μL), and undetected HIV RNA (≤ 50 copies /mL).

  • 2. Willing and able to give written informed consent.
  • 3. Have histologically confirmed R/R B-NHL or CLL, per WHO classification, expected to express CD19 and/or CD20, have received, deemed ineligible for, or have declined standard therapies reimbursed by their health care system, have received a minimum of 2 treatment lines, and have a clinical need for systemic treatment. • Large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) (including e.g., diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), High-grade BCL (HGBL), transformed LBCL from indolent lymphoma or CLL, Primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL) – but not primary CNS lymphoma (PCNSL)) • Follicular lymphoma (FL) • Marginal zone lymphoma (MZL) • Mantle cell lymphoma (MCL) • Chronic lymphocytic leukemia/Small lymphocytic leukemia (CLL/SLL)
  • 4. For lymphomas (including SLL), measurable disease with at least 1 bi-dimensional measurable lesion (CT/MRI), longest diameter > 1.5 cm for nodal, > 1 cm for extra-nodal within a month of the treatment start, and after any anti-lymphoma therapies. Previously radiated lesions are eligible only if there is documented progression on the site after radiation therapy. Only MRD positivity is not considered eligible.
  • 5. For CLL, indication for treatment per iwCLL 2018 guideline and objectively measurable disease (e.g., lymphocytosis or measurable lesion, including lymphadenopathy, splenomegaly, and extra-nodal lesions, but not e.g., autoimmune manifestations only, or MRD positivity).
  • 6. Fresh or archival biopsy sample available (obtained after last systemic treatment line), or willingness to provide one for retrospective CD19/CD20 expression analysis.
