Study summary

QUILT-3.055 is a Phase 2b, open-label, multicohort study investigating combination immunotherapies in patients with advanced solid tumors who have previously been treated with PD-1/PD-L1 checkpoint inhibitors. The study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NAI (nogapendekin alfa inbakicept) in combination with other agents like checkpoint inhibitors and cell therapies across various cancer types and treatment settings. The study includes multiple cohorts based on prior therapies and cancer types, with a focus on assessing overall response rate (ORR), overall survival (OS), and other measures of anti-tumor activity and immune response.

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(23)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

PD-1, PD-L1 and checkpoint inhibitors

PD-1, PD-L1 and CTLA-4 are proteins that act as brakes on the immune system. Checkpoint inhibitors, such as pembrolizumab or nivolumab, block them so the immune system can attack a cancer.

PD-L1 can also be measured in a tumour sample. Some scores count stained tumour cells only (TPS); others also count certain immune cells (CPS). The study names the score and the minimum it uses.

Adjuvant and neoadjuvant

Neoadjuvant treatment is given before the main treatment (usually surgery), often to shrink a tumour. Adjuvant treatment is given after it, to lower the chance of the cancer coming back.

HER2

HER2 is a protein, made from the ERBB2 gene, that drives the growth of some cancers. A study may look for a level of the protein, extra copies of the gene, or a particular change in it.

In breast cancer, protein tests are read as HER2-positive, HER2-low or HER2-negative; other cancers use their own rules. Check which test result the study requires.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

RECIST

The standard rules for measuring tumours on CT or MRI scans, to tell whether a cancer is shrinking, stable or growing during treatment.

“Measurable disease per RECIST 1.1” usually means at least one tumour 10 mm or more at its longest on a CT scan, or a lymph node 15 mm or more across its short axis.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Autoimmune disease

A condition in which the immune system attacks the body’s own tissues, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, psoriasis, type 1 diabetes or inflammatory bowel disease.

Immunotherapy studies often leave out active autoimmune disease, and some name exceptions, such as thyroid disease on replacement hormone. Check the exceptions this study lists.

Immunosuppression

A weakened immune system. It can come from an illness, such as HIV or some blood cancers, or from medicines that turn the immune system down, for example after an organ transplant or for an autoimmune disease; steroids at higher doses count.

Read whether the line is about a condition or about medicines, and which medicines and doses it means.

Corticosteroids (steroids)

Anti-inflammatory medicines such as prednisone, prednisolone and dexamethasone — not the anabolic steroids used for muscle.

Studies differ in what they allow: check which steroid medicines, routes (tablets, injections, creams, inhalers, eye drops) and doses this study accepts.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Absolute neutrophil count (ANC)

The number of neutrophils, white blood cells that help fight infection, in a given amount of blood. Too few raises the risk of infection.

It is a count, not a percentage of the white cells. Limits are written in units that mean the same: ≥ 1.5 × 10⁹/L is ≥ 1,500 per mm³ (µL). Each lab has its own reference range.

Platelets

Blood cells that help blood clot. Too few raises the risk of bleeding and bruising. A usual adult range is about 150–400 × 10⁹/L (150,000–400,000 per µL); each lab has its own reference range.

Bilirubin

A yellow substance made when red blood cells are broken down, which the liver clears. A high level can mean a problem with the liver or the bile ducts.

Criteria often allow more for people with Gilbert’s syndrome, a harmless inherited condition that raises bilirubin.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

Hemoglobin (Hb)

The protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. A low level is anaemia, which can cause tiredness and breathlessness. Measured in g/dL or g/L (9 g/dL is 90 g/L).

Creatinine clearance (CrCl)

How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.

Child-Pugh class

A score of how well the liver works in people with liver disease such as cirrhosis: class A is mild, B moderate and C severe.

Clinically significant

Judged by the study doctor to matter for your health or for the study. It is a doctor’s decision, so ask the study team if you are unsure whether something counts.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. ORR, defined as Investigator-assessed CR + PR per RECIST v1.1.

    ORR reflects tumor shrinkage and is the key measure of antitumor activity.

    Time frame: Evaluated from the first dose of study drug and repeated at each scheduled disease-assessment visit for up to 24 months (or until progression/death), with the time-to-response summarized using Kaplan-Meier methods

  2. Prolongation of OS with NAI therapy by ALC response, where: - OS is defined as the time from first study drug administration to death resulting from any cause. - ALC response is defined as achievement or maintenance of an on-treatment ALC ≥ 1,000 cells/μ

    OS is the gold-standard efficacy endpoint; the protocol explores whether an ALC rise predicts a survival benefit.

    Time frame: Measured from the date of the first study-drug administration to the date of death (any cause) and followed for up to 24 months after the last dose (or until death), allowing the correlation with on-treatment ALC changes

Secondary outcomes

  1. ALC response to NAI therapy

    Defined as achieving a mean on-treatment absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) ≥ 1,000 cells/µL.

    Time frame: From the date of first study-drug administration until the earlier of death or the planned end of follow-up, assessed up to 24 months.

  2. Prolongation of therapy

    Measured as the time on NAI treatment, analyzed according to whether the participant attained the ALC response described above.

    Time frame: From the date of first study-drug administration until the earlier of death or the planned end of study follow-up, assessed up to 24 months after the last dose of study drug.

  3. Overall survival (OS) for all patients and subgroups

    Defined as the time from the first study-drug administration to death from any cause.

    Time frame: From the date of first study-drug administration until the earlier of death or the planned end of study follow-up, assessed up to 24 months after the last dose of study drug.

  4. Disease-specific survival (DSS)

    Time from first study drug administration to death resulting from cancer.

    Time frame: From the date of first study-drug administration until the earlier of death or the planned end of study follow-up, assessed up to 24 months after the last dose of study drug.

  5. Progression-free survival (PFS)

    Time from the first study-drug administration to either documented disease progression or death from any cause, whichever occurs first

    Time frame: From the date of first study-drug administration until the earlier of death or the planned end of study follow-up, assessed up to 24 months after the last dose of study drug.

  6. Time to response

    The interval from the first dose of study drug to the first documented objective tumor response (CR or PR)

    Time frame: From the date of first study-drug administration until the earlier of death or the planned end of study follow-up, assessed up to 24 months after the last dose of study drug.

  7. Duration of response (DoR)

    Time from the date of documented response (CR or PR) until disease progression or death.

    Time frame: From the date of first study-drug administration until the earlier of death or the planned end of study follow-up, assessed up to 24 months after the last dose of study drug.

  8. Disease Control Rate (DCR):

    measures the percentage of patients with stable disease (SD), partial response (PR), or complete response (CR). It indicates the proportion of patients who experience benefit from the treatment in terms of disease stabilization or tumor shrinkage.

    Time frame: Assessed at the end of each 6-week cycle (each cycle = 42 days) through 2 years (up to Cycle 17)

  9. Quality of life (QoL) - Assessed in cohorts 1-5 only.

    Assesses patient well-being using standardized questionnaires like EORTC QLQ-C30/LC13 or FACT PRO (module-specific), each with varying scales where higher scores generally indicate better functioning (but may also mean more symptoms).

    Time frame: From the date of first study-drug administration until the earlier of death or the planned end of study follow-up, assessed up to 24 months after the last dose of study drug.

  10. Physical examinations

    A full physical exam is conducted to assess any new or worsening clinical findings.

    Time frame: Baseline (screening), Day 1 (first dose), and prior to every subsequent NAI dose (e.g., every 2 weeks), then at each post-treatment safety visit (Week 12, Week 24, Week 36, Week 48, and at end-of-study visit)

Other outcomes

  1. Incidence of TEAEs and SAEs

    All treatment-emergent adverse events and serious adverse events are recorded and graded using the NCI Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0.

  2. Laboratory tests

    Routine hematology, chemistry, and other safety-related labs are performed to detect treatment-related abnormalities.

    Time frame: Baseline, Day 1, on-treatment (prior to each dose; every 2 weeks), and at each post-treatment safety visit (Week 12, Week 24, Week 36, Week 48, and end-of-study)

  3. Vital signs

    Blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, temperature, and weight are recorded.

    Time frame: Baseline, Day 1, before each NAI infusion (typically every 2 weeks), and at all scheduled safety follow-up visits (Week 12, Week 24, Week 36, Week 48, and final study visit)

  4. ORR (Objective Response Rate)

    Cohorts 1-5 (irRECIST) Proportion of participants achieving a confirmed complete or partial response per immune-related RECIST.

    Time frame: Assessed from the first dose onward at scheduled tumor-assessment visits (typically every 8-12 weeks) until progression, death, or study end (≈ 24 months).

  5. PFS (Progression-Free Survival)

  11. Tmax - Time to maximum plasma concentration of the investigational agent

    Time elapsed from the start of the infusion to the occurrence of Cmax, expressed in hours. Determined from the same plasma-sampling schedule used for Cmax.

    Time frame: Assessed on Cycle 1 Day 1 (each cycle = 28 days) and Cycle 2 Day 1. Sampling schedule on each study day: pre-dose, end-of-infusion, 0.5 hour, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, and 24 hours post-dose

  12. AUC₀-t - Exposure (area under the plasma-concentration-time curve) from time 0 to the last quantifiable concentration

    Time frame: Assessed on Cycle 1 Day 1 (each cycle = 28 days) and Cycle 2 Day 1. Sampling schedule on each study day: pre-dose, end-of-infusion, 0.5 hour, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, and 24 hours post-dose

  13. AUC₀-τ - Steady-state exposure over one dosing interval

    Area under the plasma-concentration-time curve over a full dosing interval (τ) at steady state, calculated by the linear-trapezoidal method using pre-dose and post-dose samples collected on Cycle 2 Day 1 (or the first cycle where steady state is confirmed). Units: ng · h · mL-¹.

    Time frame: Assessed on Cycle 2 Day 1 (each cycle = 42 days). Intensive sampling: pre-dose, end-of-infusion, 0.5 hour, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours, 8 hours, 24 hours post-dose. Sparse samples at weeks 12, 24, 36, 48, 60, 72, 84 (up to 24 months).

  14. t½ - Terminal elimination half-life of the investigational agent

    The time required for the plasma concentration to decline by 50 % during the terminal phase, calculated by log-linear regression of the last ≥3 measurable concentrations from the intensive sampling (typically 4 h, 8 h, 24 h) on Cycle 1 Day 1. Reported in hours.

    Time frame: Determined from the same Cycle 1 Day 1 intensive sampling. No additional time points are required; the parameter is reported once per participant. The overall data-collection window for the participant is up to 24 months from first dose

  15. ORR (Objective Response Rate)

    Cohort 6 (iRECIST) Proportion of participants who achieve a confirmed complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) as assessed by the investigator using iRECIST criteria.

    Time frame: Assessed from the first study-drug administration onward at scheduled tumor-assessment visits (typically every 8-12 weeks) and reported at the end of the follow-up period (up to the study's planned closure, e.g., ~24 months).

  16. PFS (Progression-Free Survival)

    Cohort 6 (iRECIST) Time from the first dose of study drug to the first occurrence of disease progression (per iRECIST) or death from any cause, whichever comes first.

    Time frame: From Day 1 of first study-drug administration to first documented disease progression (per irRECIST/iRECIST) or death from any cause, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 24 months.

  17. Time to response

    Cohort 6 (iRECIST) - Interval between the first study-drug administration and the date of the first documented objective response (CR or PR) per iRECIST.

    Time frame: From Day 1 of first study-drug administration to the date of first confirmed complete or partial response, assessed up to 24 months

  18. DCR (Disease-Control Rate)

    Cohort 6 (iRECIST) - Proportion of participants who achieve CR, PR, or stable disease (SD) according to iRECIST.

    Time frame: Assessed at each tumor-assessment visit (baseline, Week 8 ± 1, Week 16 ± 2, Week 24 ± 2, and thereafter every 12 weeks) through 24 months

  19. DoR (Duration of Response)

    Cohort 6 (iRECIST) Time from the date of the first documented response (CR or PR) until disease progression (per iRECIST) or death, whichever occurs first.

    Time frame: From the date of first confirmed response to subsequent disease progression or death, whichever occurs first, assessed up to 24 months.

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Dec 2018 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Aug 2029, 128 months after the start.

Of 317 industry-sponsored phase 2 interventional studies under Carcinoma, Non-Small-Cell Lung, half reached primary completion within 37 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 24 and three quarters within 59. This study's planned 128 months is above that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 1,047 studies reached it within 48 months; a quarter within 30 and three quarters within 76.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jan 14, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
