    \^Childbearing potential defined as not being surgically sterilized (men and women) or have not been free from menses for \> 1 year (women only).
23. A complete liver evaluation (which includes ultrasound elastography, MRI of the liver and a hepatology consult) may be done if needed based on PI's recommendation.
24. Evaluation of acquired hemochromatosis (indicated through MRI of the liver and elevated levels of Ferritin) is recommended for participants who have undergone multiple transfusions and prior alloHCT.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Autologous/allogeneic stem cell transplant within 100 days at the time of enrollment.
2. Immunosuppressant medications within 1 months prior to protocol enrollment.
3. Concurrent use of systemic steroids or chronic use of immunosuppressant medications. Recent or current use of inhaled steroids is not exclusionary. Physiologic replacement of steroids (prednisone ≤ 7.5 mg /day or equivalent) is allowed
4. Auto-immune disease or active GVHD within 4 months prior to protocol enrollment requiring systemic immunosuppressant therapy.
5. Class III/IV cardiovascular disability according to the New York Heart Association (NYHA) Classification.
6. Subjects with clinically significant arrhythmia or arrhythmias not stable on medical management within 2 weeks of enrollment.
7. Any abnormal liver enzyme levels (as defined ≥ULN in ALT, AST, Bilirubin and Alkaline Phosphatase levels) at time of enrollment
8. . Subjects with a known history or prior diagnosis of optic neuritis or other immunologic or inflammatory disease affecting the central nervous system, including seizure disorder.
9. History of allergic reactions attributed to compounds of similar chemical or biologic composition to study agent.
10. Known bleeding disorders (e.g., von Willebrand's disease) or hemophilia.
11. History of venous occlusive disease (VOD), or GvHD.

    a. Subjects with a history of the following GvHD may still be included in the study: i. Resolved Grade 2 or less steroid-sensitive acute skin GvHD ii. Grade 1 gastro-intestinal (GI)-GvHD developed within 100 days post prior alloHCT.

    iii. Limited chronic GvHD
12. History of stroke or intracranial hemorrhage within 6 months of enrollment.
13. History of other malignancies, except for malignancy surgically resected (or treated with other modalities) with curative intent, basal cell carcinoma of the skin or localized squamous cell carcinoma of the skin; non-muscle invasive bladder cancer; malignancy treated with curative intent with no known active disease present for ≥ 3 years.
14. Clinically significant uncontrolled illness.
15. Active systemic uncontrolled infection requiring antibiotics.
16. Known history of immunodeficiency virus (HIV) or hepatitis B or hepatitis C infection.
17. Females only: Pregnant or breastfeeding.
18. Any other condition that would, in the investigator's judgment, contraindicate the subject's participation in the clinical study due to safety concerns with clinical study procedures.
19. Prospective participants who, in the opinion of the investigator, may not be able to comply with all study procedures (including compliance issues related to feasibility/logistics).

主要终点：Incidence of adverse events · Toxicity will be graded per Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0, Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) and neurotoxicity which use the American Society for Transplantation and Cellular Therapy Consensus Criteria (ASTCT) and Graft versus Host Disease (GVHD) criteria. Toxicities will be followed from the start of lymphodepletion until the end of the study. · Up to 1 year post treatment
次要终点：Disease response；Minimal residual disease (MRD)；B cell frequency；Severity of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) in recipients of prior allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation；Progression-free survival (PFS)；Overall survival (OS)
