Study 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 5 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), Cohort 3 (lymphodepletion exploration cohort with fludarabine + cyclophosph preconditioning followed by NK cells + PD-(L)1 inhibitor + pemetrexed), Cohort 4 (advanced HCC with NK cells + VEGF + PD-(L)1), and Cohort 5 (advanced GC with NK cells + PD-(L)1 + S-1).

Read the detailed description

This study is designed as a prospective cohort study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of allogeneic NK cell injection combined with standard maintenance therapy in advanced solid tumor patients.

Study Design:

Cohort 1: Advanced non-squamous non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) without driver gene mutations, receiving NK cells + PD-(L)1 inhibitor + pemetrexed as first-line maintenance therapy (3-week cycles) Cohort 2: Advanced colorectal adenocarcinoma, receiving NK cells + cetuximab/bevacizumab + capecitabine as first-line maintenance therapy (2-week cycles) Cohort 3: Lymphodepletion exploration cohort for advanced non-squamous NSCLC, receiving fludarabine + cyclophosphamide preconditioning followed by NK cells + PD-(L)1 inhibitor + pemetrexed (3-week cycles) Each cohort includes a safety lead-in phase (3 patients) followed by an expansion phase (3-6 patients). Dose-limiting toxicity (DLT) will be assessed during the first cycle.

Cohort 4 :advanced HCC with NK cells + VEGF + PD-(L)1 (3-week cycles). Cohort 5 :advanced GC with NK cells + PD-(L)1 + S-1 (2-week cycles).

  9. Life expectancy ≥3 months
  10. 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
  11. Voluntary informed consent and able to comply with follow-up

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Prior treatment with other cellular therapy products (DC, CIK, T cells, NK cells, CAR-T, etc.) except this product

  3. Symptomatic moderate to severe third-space effusion requiring therapeutic drainage
  4. Gastrointestinal perforation, fistula, or intra-abdominal abscess within 6 months
  5. As assessed by the investigator, intrahepatic tumor mass occupies more than 50% of the entire liver, or tumor thrombus invades major blood vessels (such as the main portal vein, superior mesenteric vein, or inferior vena cava), leading to complications such as portal hypertension or related clinical risks.
  6. Significant cardiovascular disease history including
  7. Arterial or venous thrombotic events within 6 months before enrollment (CVA, DVT, PE, etc.)
  8. Active infection (viral, bacterial, fungal) currently being treated, or any infection requiring IV antibiotics for ≥7 days within past 6 weeks, or oral antibiotics within past 1 week
  9. Active autoimmune disease or history of severe autoimmune disease requiring long-term immunosuppression
  10. Participation in other interventional clinical trials within 3 months
