Brief summary: This is a Phase 1, open-label, single-arm study to evaluate tolerability, safety and efficacy of RJMty19 in adult subjects with r/r B-NHL.

Detailed description: The study was based on an accelerated titration and "3+3" design with a dose-escalation phase and a dose-expansion phase, and was designed to assess the safety, maximum tolerated dose, pharmacokinetic profile, and initial efficacy of RJMty19 in subjects with r/r B-NHL after second-line treatment or above.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

1. Voluntarily sign an ICF and expect to complete the subsequent follow-up.
2. Aged 18 to 65 years (including cut-offs), regardless of gender.
3. B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma diagnosed as CD19-positive by cytology or histopathology according to WHO 2022 criteria, including pathologically confirmed (1) diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, non-specific type (DLBCL, NOS); (2) follicular lymphoma histopathologically graded as grade 3b (FL3b); (3) follicular lymphoma with diffuse large B-cell transformation; (4) primary mediastinal large B-cell lymphoma (PMBCL); (5) high-grade B-cell lymphoma (HGBCL).
4. Relapsed/refractory B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, provided one of the following conditions is met:

   1. Definition of relapse: Relapse after achieving remission (PR and CR) with second-line or higher therapy;
   2. Definition of refractory:

      * No response to second-line or more therapy: The best efficacy of last therapy is PD or SD (SD requires at least 2 cycles of treatment);
      * Recurrence (must have biopsy-proven recurrence) or progression within 12 months of autologous stem cell transplantation (ASCT) . If salvage therapy, no response to last therapy (SD or PD).
5. Subjects must have received adequate treatment in the past, which should include the following treatments:

   1. Anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody, unless the investigator determines that the tumor is CD20 negative;
   2. Chemotherapy containing anthracycline drugs;
   3. For subjects with transformed follicular lymphoma (tFL) who have been previously treated with follicular lymphoma (FL) chemotherapy and with transformation to DLBCL show refractory to chemotherapy.
6. ECOG performance status 0 to 1.
7. The presence of a measurable lesion that meets one of the following criteria:

   1. The long axis of the lymph node lesion exceeds 15 mm in length (the short axis is measurable);
   2. The long and short axes of the extralymph node lesion exceed 10 mm in length.
8. ALaboratory results within 7 days prior to Lymphodepletion need to meet the following criteria:

   1. Coagulation function:

      * Activated partial thromboplastin time ≤ 1.5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN);
      * Prothrombin time (PT) ≤ 1.5 times ULN;
   2. Liver function:

      * Glutathione aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN);
      * Glutamic aminotransferase (ALT) ≤ 5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN);
      * Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times ULN, unless the subject has documented Gilbert syndrome;
      * Subjects with Gilbert-Meulengracht syndrome with total bilirubin ≤ 3.0 times ULN and direct bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times ULN may be included.
   3. Renal function:

      * Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 times ULN or a creatinine clearance ≥ 60 ml/min;
   4. Complete blood count (No blood transfusion treatment received within 7 days prior to examination):

      * Haemoglobin ≥ 80 g/L;
      * Absolute neutrophil count (ANC) ≥ 1.0 x 10\^9/L;
      * A platelet count ≥ 50 x 10\^9/L;
   5. Cardiopulmonary function:

      * Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥ 45%;
      * Oxygen saturation ≥ 91%;
9. Female subjects with of childbearing potential should have a negative pregnancy test during the screening period. Any male and female subjects of childbearing potential must agree to use an effective contraception method for at least six months from the time that they sign the informed consent form until the end of the cell infusion. Female subjects without childbearing potential (meeting at least 1 of the following criteria) is described below:

   1. Have undergone a hysterectomy or bilateral oophorectomy;
   2. Medically recognised ovarian failure;
   3. Medically recognised as post-menopausal (at least 12 consecutive months of menopause without pathological or physiological cause).

3. Patients with B-cell non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with active central nervous system invasion.
4. Patients with positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) or hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) and peripheral blood hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA titres not within the normal reference range, positive hepatitis C virus (HCV) antibody and peripheral blood HCV RNA ,positive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), or positive for cytomegalovirus (CMV) DNA, or positive syphilis test.
