10. WOCBP must have a negative high-sensitivity serum β-hCG pregnancy test at screening and again before the first dose of cyclophosphamide/fludarabine.
11. Subjects of reproductive potential must use effective contraception for ≥12 months after completing study therapy.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Subjects with any of the following conditions are ineligible for this trial:

  1. Any malignancy other than B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma ever diagnosed or treated, except:

     * Malignancy that received curative therapy and has shown no evidence of active disease for ≥2 years before enrolment; or
     * Adequately treated non-melanoma skin cancer with no current evidence of disease.
  2. Prior anti-cancer therapy within the stated windows (before lymphodepletion):

     * CNS prophylaxis (e.g., intrathecal methotrexate and/or cytarabine) within 7 days;
     * Cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 14 days;
     * Small-molecule targeted or epigenetic therapy within 14 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer;
     * Monoclonal antibody, bispecific antibody, or antibody-drug conjugate within 21 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is shorter;
     * Investigational drug or invasive investigational device within 28 days (if the therapy is also investigational, the 28-day wash-out applies);
     * Autologous haematopoietic stem-cell transplant or CD19-directed autologous CAR-T therapy within 100 days.
  3. Any autologous cellular or gene therapy other than CD19-directed autologous CAR-T.
  4. Any allogeneic cellular (including CAR-T) or gene therapy.
  5. Prior allogeneic haematopoietic stem-cell transplantation.
  6. Positive donor-specific antibody (DSA).
  7. At least one of the following high-risk features:

     * Sum of the product of perpendicular diameters (SPD) of all measurable lesions ≥100 cm²;
     * Bulky disease: single mass ≥7.5 cm; mediastinal mass with maximum diameter \>1/3 of thoracic diameter;
     * Obstructive/compressive emergency (e.g., bowel obstruction, vascular compression) requiring urgent intervention at screening.
  8. Active CNS involvement (symptomatic or positive CSF/imaging); subjects with prior CNS disease now in remission (asymptomatic with negative CSF and imaging) are eligible.
