What this study is testing

What is Dose Escalation Phase:CD19.CAR/28 and CD19.CAR/28137 T cells?

Dose Escalation Phase:CD19.CAR/28 and CD19.CAR/28137 T cells is an investigational medicine, given as an infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for non-hodgkin lymphoma.

Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.

What it's testing
Subjects on this study have a type of lymph gland cancer called Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, acute lymphocytic leukemia, or chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (these diseases will be referred to as "lymphoma" or "leukemia"). The lymphoma or leukemia has come back or has not gone away after treatment.
