NCT07551778

Brief Summary

This is a prospective, open-label, exploratory clinical study to evaluate the safety and preliminary efficacy of allogeneic natural killer (NK) cell injection combined with standard maintenance therapy in patients with locally advanced or metastatic solid tumors. The study consists of three cohorts: Cohort 1 (advanced non-squamous NSCLC with NK cells + PD-(L)1 inhibitor + pemetrexed), Cohort 2 (advanced colorectal adenocarcinoma with NK cells + cetuximab/bevacizumab + capecitabine), and Cohort 3 (lymphodepletion exploration cohort with fludarabine + cyclophosph preconditioning followed by NK cells + PD-(L)1 inhibitor + pemetrexed).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT)

    Incidence of DLT defined as: Grade 4-5 CRS or ICANS related to NK cells; Grade 3 CRS/ICANS not resolving to ≤Grade 2 within 7 days; Grade ≥3 non-hematologic toxicity not resolving to Grade 2 or baseline; Grade 4 hematologic toxicity not resolving to Grade 2 or baseline within DLT observation period

    During the first treatment cycle (21 days for Cohorts 1&3, 14 days for Cohort 2)

  • Adverse Events (AE)

    Incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events assessed by NCI-CTCAE v5.0

    From first dose through 30 days after last dose

Secondary Outcomes (7)

  • Progression-Free Survival (PFS)

    From enrollment until disease progression or death, up to 2 years

  • Objective Response Rate (ORR)

    From enrollment until disease progression or death, up to 2 years

  • Duration of Response (DOR)

    up to 24 months

  • Disease Control Rate (DCR)

    Up to 2 years

  • Circulating Tumor DNA (ctDNA) Changes

    Baseline, every 6 weeks during treatment (up to approximately 12 months), and at end of treatment, up to 12 months

  • +2 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Age 18-75 years, either gender
  • Cohort 1 \& 3: Histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced unresectable or metastatic non-squamous NSCLC (Stage IIIB-IV) without known actionable driver gene mutations (including but not limited to: EGFR sensitizing mutations, ALK rearrangement, ROS1 rearrangement, BRAF V600E mutation, KRAS mutation)
  • Cohort 1 \& 3: Previously received 4-6 cycles of first-line induction therapy with PD-(L)1 inhibitor combined with pemetrexed plus platinum, with radiographic assessment of non-progressive disease (CR, PR, or SD per RECIST 1.1)
  • Cohort 2: Histologically or cytologically confirmed locally advanced unresectable or metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma (unresectable Stage III or Stage IV per AJCC 8th edition)
  • Cohort 2: Previously received 6-9 cycles of first-line induction therapy with cetuximab or bevacizumab combined with FOLFOX or FOLFIRI, with radiographic assessment of non-progressive disease (CR, PR, or SD per RECIST 1.1)
  • Prior neoadjuvant/adjuvant chemotherapy allowed if disease recurrence or metastasis occurred \>6 months after last chemotherapy dose
  • At least one measurable lesion per RECIST 1.1 (except patients who achieved CR during induction therapy): non-lymph node lesion ≥1.0 cm in longest diameter, or lymph node lesion ≥1.5 cm in short diameter; lesions treated with local therapy (radiation or interventional) cannot be target lesions unless progression is documented
  • Adequate bone marrow and organ function:
  • ANC ≥1.5×10⁹/L; Platelet \>90×10⁹/L; Hemoglobin \>9 g/dL
  • Liver function: Total bilirubin \<1.5×ULN; ALT and AST \<3×ULN (\<5×ULN if liver metastases present)
  • Renal function: Serum creatinine ≤1.5×ULN
  • Coagulation: PT, APTT, INR \<1.5×ULN
  • ECOG performance status 0-1
  • Life expectancy ≥3 months
  • Non-pregnant, non-lactating; women of childbearing potential must have negative serum pregnancy test within 7 days before cell infusion and agree to use reliable contraception during study and for 6 months after last infusion; men with partners of childbearing potential must agree to use reliable contraception
  • +1 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Prior treatment with other cellular therapy products (DC, CIK, T cells, NK cells, CAR-T, etc.) except this product
  • Other malignancies within 5 years before screening (completely resolved carcinoma in situ and slowly progressing malignancies as determined by investigator excluded)
