Study arms

  • Experimental
    Participant

    The single, open label study arm includes 2 dose escalation cohorts: Cohort 1: Receives ACE1831 (Dose Level 1) with LDC depending on assignment Cohort 2: Receives ACE1831 (Dose Level 2) with LDC depending on assignment

    Drug: ACE1831 · Drug: Lymphodepleting chemotherapy

Interventions

  • DrugACE1831

    ACE1831 is allogeneic gamma delta T (gdT) cell therapy. Subjects will receive ACE1831 dose based on the assigned dose escalation cohort.

  • DrugLymphodepleting chemotherapy

    Subjects assigned to receive lymphodepleting preconditioning (LDC) will receive chemotherapy cyclophosphamide ahead of ACE1831 administration.
