Brief Summary

Open-label, Phase 1 Study of CD19 t-haNK as a Single Agent and in Combination With an IL-15 Superagonist (N-803) and Rituximab in Subjects With Relapsed/Refractory Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma. Up to 20 subjects will be enrolled and randomized 1:1 to 1 of 2 cohorts, as outlined below. The initial 3 subjects will be sequentially enrolled in a staggered fashion, with a 7 day interval between each subject to enable the capture and monitoring of any acute and subacute toxicities.

Study Arms (2)

Arm A

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects in both cohorts will initially receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by a single 4-week cycle of the CD19 t-haNK single-agent regimen. Following a 1-week rest period, subjects will then receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by a single 4-week cycle of CD19 t-haNK in combination with rituximab

Biological: CD19t-haNK suspensionDrug: CyclophosphamideDrug: FludarabineDrug: Rituximab

Arm B

EXPERIMENTAL

Subjects in both cohorts will initially receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by a single 4-week cycle of the CD19 t-haNK single-agent regimen. Following a 1-week rest period, subjects will then receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by a single 4-week cycle of CD19 t-haNK in combination with rituximab (cohort A) or in combination with rituximab and N-803 (cohort B).

Interventions

Derived from the parental NK-92 (aNK) cell line, CD19 t-haNK is a human, allogeneic, NK cell line that has been engineered to express a CAR targeting CD19. Similar to the haNK cell line, CD19 t haNK has also been engineered to produce endoplasmic reticulum-retained IL 2 and the high-affinity (158V) variant of the Fcγ receptor (FcγRIIIa/CD16a), and thereby has enhanced CD16-targeted ADCC capabilities. CD19 t-haNK is similar to PD L1 t-haNK, differing only in the CAR that is expressed (CD19 vs PD-L1).

Arm AArm B

Rituximab is a genetically engineered chimeric murine/human monoclonal IgG1 kappa antibody directed against the CD20 antigen. Rituximab has an approximate molecular weight of 145 kD and has a binding affinity for the CD20 antigen of approximately 8.0 nM.

Also known as: Rituxan
Arm AArm B
N803DRUG

nogapendekin alfa inbakicept (also known as ALT-803; recombinant human superagonist interleukin-15 (IL-15) complex \[also known as IL 15N72D:IL-15RαSu/IgG1 Fc complex\])

Also known as: Anktiva
Arm B

Cyclophosphamide is a synthetic antineoplastic drug chemically related to the nitrogen mustards. The chemical name for cyclophosphamide is 2-\[bis(2-chloroethyl)amino\]tetrahydro-2H-1,3,2-oxazaphosphorine 2-oxide monohydrate and has the molecular formula C7H15Cl2N2O2P•H2O and a molecular weight of 279.1.

Also known as: Cytoxan
Arm AArm B

Fludarabine phosphate is a fluorinated nucleotide analog of the antiviral agent vidarabine, 9-β-D-arabinofuranosyladenine (ara-A) that is relatively resistant to deamination by adenosine deaminase. The chemical name for fludarabine phosphate is 9H-Purin-6-amine, 2-fluoro-9-(5-0-phosphono β-D-arabino-furanosyl) (2-fluoro-ara-AMP). The molecular formula of fludarabine phosphate is C10H13FN5O7P and it has a molecular weight of 365.2.

  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status of 0 to 1.
  • Expected survival \> 12 weeks.
  • Willing and able to have central line placed for study drug infusions.
  • Stated willingness to comply with study procedures.
  • Able to attend required study visits and return for adequate follow-up, as required by this protocol.
  • Agreement to practice effective contraception for female subjects of child-bearing potential and nonsterile males.

Nonsterile male subjects must agree to use a condom while on study and for up to 5 months after the last dose of study drug. Effective contraception includes surgical sterilization (eg, vasectomy, tubal ligation), two forms of barrier methods (eg, condom, diaphragm) used with spermicide, intrauterine devices (IUDs), and abstinence.

You may not qualify if:

  • Known hypersensitivity to any component of the study medication(s), including anaphylactic reaction to sulfur-containing medications.
  • Known allergy to albumin (human) or dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).
  • Serious uncontrolled concomitant disease that would contraindicate the use of the investigational drug used in this study or that would put the subject at high risk for treatment-related complications.
  • History of significant autoimmune disease OR active, uncontrolled autoimmune phenomenon: such as systemic lupus erythematous, Wegner's glomerulonephritis, autoimmune hemolytic anemia, idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura requiring steroid therapy defined as \> 20 mg of prednisone or equivalent daily.
  • History of allogeneic hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) or allogeneic chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T therapy within 6 months of day 1 or require ongoing systemic graft versus host disease (GvHD) therapy.
  • Anti-CD19 or anti-CD20 antibody treatment within 4 weeks of cell infusion.
  • Live vaccine \< 6 weeks prior to starting lymphodepleting chemotherapy.
  • History of receiving allograft organ transplant requiring immunosuppression.
  • Subjects post solid organ transplant who develop high grade lymphomas or leukemias.
  • Known lymphomatous involvement of the CNS, including the parenchyma or leptomeninges.
  • Nonmalignant CNS disease (eg, stroke, epilepsy, vasculitis, or neurodegenerative disease).
  • History of or active inflammatory bowel disease (eg, Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis).
  • Inadequate organ function, evidenced by the following laboratory results:
  • ANC \< 1000 cells/mm3.
