Brief Summary

T effector cells and NK cells have mutual compensatory killing functions on various of cancer types. For those cancers that have no available targets for CAR-T cell generations, we established potent T cell-like NK cells (ITNK) with a specific conversion protocol for the T cells from the patient, to perform anti-cancer therapy, especially for those cancers that are lack of MHC-I molecule expression. We have finished pre-clinical investigations for the ITNK or CAR-ITNK cell therapy and scheduled to start a clinical phase I study.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The safety and tolerance of the ITNK cell immunotherapy

    A dose limiting toxicity is defined as any toxicity that is considered to be primarily related to the ITNK cells, which is irreversible, or life threatening or hematologic or non-hematologic Grade 3-5. Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events will be calculated as standard methods.

    2 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Percent of Patients with best response as either complete remission or partial remission.

    2 years

Study Arms (2)

ITNK cell therapy group

CAR-ITNK cell therapy group

EXPERIMENTAL

Patient-originated and induced T-to-natural killer (ITNK) cells with CAR-engineered, will be administrated to kill tumor cells.

Biological: ITNK cell therapy
