An Exploratory Clinical Study Evaluating the Safety and Efficacy of Intravenous Anti-CD20/CD30-CAR-T Cell Infusion in Relapsed/Refractory Lymphoma Patients.

This study is a single-center,open-label,single-dose clinical trial of anti-CD20/CD30-CAR-T cell therapy in relapsed/refractory B-cell tumor patients after lymphocyte depletion pre-treatment.

In this study phase,a traditional "3+3"trial design is employed for dose escalation.

This study is a single-center, open-label, single-dose clinical trial of anti-CD20/CD30-CAR-T cell therapy in relapsed/refractory lymphoma patients after lymphocyte depletion pre-treatment.

The study aims to include patients with CD20/CD30 double-positive relapsed/refractory lymphomas, CD20-positive relapsed/refractory B-cell lymphomas (including patients who have relapsed after anti-CD19-CAR-T cell therapy), and CD30-positive Hodgkin lymphoma. Participants will undergo screening, peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMC) collection, and lymphocyte depletion pre-treatment before receiving a single infusion of anti-CD20/CD30-CAR-T cells.

Throughout the study, efficacy assessments will occur at baseline and at 4 weeks post-treatment, and subsequently at 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 12 months, until disease progression (PD), relapse, change of treatment regimen, death, intolerable toxicity, investigator decision, or voluntary withdrawal (whichever comes first).

Safety evaluations of anti-CD20/CD30-CAR-T cell therapy will be conducted according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE, version 5.0) by laboratory tests, 12-lead electrocardiograms, vital signs, and physical examinations. Additionally, blood samples will be collected to assess cellular pharmacokinetics and explore the effects of cellular therapy on ferritin, C-reactive protein, and related cytokines.

The study is designed as an exploratory research project, subject to implementation conditions at the research center. Dose escalation during this study phase will follow a traditional "3+3" trial design.
