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
This is a phase 1a, open-label, single center study evaluating the safety and efficacy CAR19.20.22 in subjects with r/r B-cell malignancies. The study will comprise dose-escalation. The dose-escalation will use a modified 3+3 design. Up to 12 subjects will be enrolled and treated at the sequential dose-escalation levels and evaluated. Infusion of CAR19.20.22 will be staggered to allow observations of acute and subacute toxicities.

To evaluate the safety and tolerability of CAR19.20.22 CAR T-cells
Time frame: From date of enrollment assessed up to 24 months
Efficacy Overall Response Rate in participants
Effect on the disease: Number of patients with clinical responses: Overall Survival (OS); Progression-Free Survival (PFS); Overall Response Rate (ORR)
Time frame: From date of enrollment assessed up to 24 months
Change in CAR19.20.22 T-cell function assessed by multicolor ELISPOT assay using CD19/CD22 protein targets.
Function will be assessed using in-house multicolor ELISPOT assays performed on leukapheresis product, starting T-cells, final CAR T-cell product, and post-infusion blood samples. To evaluate the functionality of the CAR T-cells over time using our in-house developed multicolor enzyme-linked immune absorbent spot (ELISPOT) assays using beads covered with CD19 and CD22 recombinant proteins as targets.
Time frame: From date of enrollment assessed up to 24 months
Persistence of CAR19.20.22 T-cells in peripheral blood measured by qPCR vector copy number and flow cytometry enumeration of CD19 and CD22 CAR-expressing T-cells."
PK/PD persistence will be evaluated using qPCR to quantify vector copy number and flow cytometry to enumerate CD19 and CD22 CAR-expressing T-cells. Pharmacokinetics/Pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) - In vivo duoCAR T-cell persistence in peripheral blood samples by qPCR to measure vector copy number or Flow Cytometry to enumerate CD19 CAR or CD22 CAR expressing T-cells.
Time frame: From date of enrollment assessed up to 24 months
Incidence of antibodies to CAR19.20.22 T-cells
Incidence of antibodies to CAR19.20.22 measured in serum samples (up to 24 months). Serum samples will be tested for anti-CAR antibody responses.
Time frame: Up to 24 months
Cytokine levels in plasma post-infusion
Cytokines such as IL-6 and IFN-γ will be measured by multiplex immunoassays.
Time frame: Up to 24 months
Persistence of CAR19.20.22 T-cells
Enumeration of CAR T-cells from blood samples using flow cytometry.
Time frame: Up to 24 months
Phenotype of CAR19.20.22 T-cells
Phenotypic analysis of CAR T-cells from blood samples using flow cytometry.
Time frame: Up to 24 months
Number of CAR19.20.22 T-cell products manufactured that meet release criteria at Day 8
Feasibility will be assessed by counting the number of autologous CAR T-cell products that successfully meet pre-specified release criteria at Day 8 of manufacturing.
Time frame: At day 8 of manufacturing post-leukapheresis.
