Brief summary: This is an open-label, single arm study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of treatment with CT032 CAR-CD19 T in patients with relapsed and/or refractory non-Hodgkin's B cell lymphoma (R/R B-NHL).

Detailed description: This study is a single-arm, open label, phase I/II clinical trial to evaluate the safety, efficacy and cellular kinetics of CT032 CAR-CD19 T cells in patients with R/R B-NHL. The study is composed of two stages, Phase I stage is for dose escalation and recommendation of phase 2 dose, and Phase II stage is to verify the efficacy and safety of the dose proposed.

8. subject has adequate organ function at screening;
9. Women of childbearing age must undergo a serum pregnancy test with negative results before screening and lymphodepletion preconditioning with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, and are willing to use effective and reliable method of contraception for at least 1 year after T cell infusion;
10. Male subjects who have an active sex life with a woman with reproductive potential must be willing to use very effective and reliable methods of contraception for at least 1 year after T cell infusion.

Exclusion Criteria:

If the subject meets any of the following criteria, he or she cannot participate in this trial:

6. Any uncontrollable active infection, including but not limited to active TB patients
7. subjects who had received a therapeutic dose of systemic steroid drugs (prednisone \>20mg/days or equivalent doses of other hormones) or other immunosuppressants within 7 days before PBMCs collection, with the exception of those who had recently or currently used inhaled steroids;
8. Known to have active autoimmune diseases, including but not limited to psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc., that need long-term immunosuppressive therapy;
9. Patients with refractory hyponatremia and/or hypokalemia;
10. Known or existing primary or metastatic central nervous system lymphoma, or any other central neurological disease or clinically significant neurological examination with abnormal results (such as seizures, cerebrovascular ischemia/hemorrhage, dementia, etc.);
11. Within 6 months prior to signing the ICF, there were any of the uncontrolled cardiovascular, cerebral vascular disease, diabetes and pulmonary embolism, or other disease at discretion of investigators that participating in this clinical trial may harm the health of the subjects;
12. Oxygen absorption before PBMCs collection to maintain blood oxygen saturation \>95% (finger vein oxygen);
13. According to the investigator, any serious or uncontrollable systemic disease, systematic comorbidities, other serious concurrent diseases (such as hemophagocytic syndrome, etc.), special circumstances of the tumor may make the subjects inappropriate to enter the study or non-compliant to the protocol, or produce significant interference to correct evaluation of study drug safety, toxicity, and validity;
