Dual-Target CAR-NK Cells in Recurrent or Refractory Epithelial Ovarian Cancer

Официальное название

A Phase 1/2, Open-Label, Dose-Escalation and Expansion Study of Dual-Target CAR-NK Cells (EB-DUALNK) Following Lymphodepleting Chemotherapy in Adults With Recurrent or Refractory Epithelial Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, or Primary Peritoneal Carcinoma

Обзор

This study evaluates the safety, tolerability, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of EB-DUALNK, a dual-target chimeric antigen receptor natural killer (CAR-NK) cell therapy, in adults with recurrent or refractory epithelial ovarian cancer. Candidates for targeting include GD2, MUC1, PSMA, and mesothelin. After baseline biomarker assessment (tumor antigen expression), the program will select the most suitable dual-target pair for clinical testing. Participants will receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by EB-DUALNK infusion and safety/response follow-up.

Подробное описание

EB-DUALNK is an investigational, genetically engineered NK-cell product designed to recognize tumor cells through two surface antigens. Dual targeting is intended to reduce antigen-escape and improve tumor recognition in heterogeneous solid tumors. Prior to first patient dosing, a biomarker assessment will review ovarian tumor expression patterns for GD2, MUC1, PSMA, and mesothelin (using immunohistochemistry and/or flow cytometry where feasible). The final dual-target pair will be chosen based on a pre-specified decision framework (antigen prevalence, co-expression, safety rationale, and manufacturing feasibility). The study includes a Phase 1 dose-escalation portion to identify the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and a Phase 2 expansion portion to further characterize safety and estimate preliminary efficacy at the RP2D.

Participants will receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide and fludarabine) followed by a single infusion of EB-DUALNK. Repeat dosing may be permitted in selected cohorts if protocol-defined safety criteria are met. Safety monitoring includes assessment of cytokine release syndrome (CRS), immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS), infusion reactions, infections, and organ toxicities. Efficacy assessments include radiographic response by RECIST v1.1 and CA-125 (where applicable). Correlative studies evaluate CAR-NK persistence, phenotype, cytokines, and relationships between antigen expression and clinical outcomes.

• Uncontrolled active infection (including uncontrolled HIV, HBV, or HCV) or active systemic fungal infection.
• Clinically significant cardiovascular disease (e.g., recent myocardial infarction, unstable angina, uncontrolled arrhythmia) or LVEF <50% .
• Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic immunosuppression within 14 days prior to lymphodepletion (physiologic steroid replacement permitted).
• History of organ transplantation or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
• Pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Any condition that, in the investigator's judgment, would compromise participant safety or compliance.
