Allogeneic CARCIK-CD19 in Adults/Pediatric B-cell NHL or Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
Sponsor:

Matilde Tettamanti Menotti de Marchi Onlus Foundation

Brief Summary:

This is a single arm, open-label, multi-center, phase I/II study to determine the engraftment, safety and clinical activity of allogeneic CARCIK-CD19 cells in adult and pediatric patients with relapsed/refractory mature B-cell neoplasia expected to express CD19 i.e. B-cell NHL and CLL. CARCIK-CD19 will be produced from the peripheral blood of an at least haploidentical familial donor.
