Study Summary

This is a single-arm, open-label, multi-center, Phase 1 study to determine safety and tolerability of an experimental therapy called NKX101 (allogeneic CAR NK cells targeting NKG2D ligands) in patients with relapsed/refractory AML or intermediate, high and very high risk relapsed/refractory MDS.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • General:

  • ECOG performance status ≤2

  • Disease related:

  • For AML subjects:

  • Previously treated relapsed/refractory AML, including subjects with MRD+disease

  • Received at most 3 lines of previous anti-leukemia therapy

  • For subjects with targetable fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3)-mutated orisocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH)1/2 mutated disease, subjects must havereceived at least 1 prior respective targeted therapy and may receive upto 4 lines of prior therapy

  • White blood cell count of ≤25 × 10^9/L

  • For groups receiving NKX101 after lymphodepletion withfludarabine/cyclophosphamide +/- decitabine: Disease localized to the bonemarrow, as evidenced by ≤ 5% peripheral blasts and no evidence ofextramedullary disease

  • For groups receiving NKX101 after lymphodepletion with fludarabine/cyclophosphamide +/- decitabine, group receiving NKX101 afterlymphodepletion with fludarabine/ara-C: Additional subjects withspecifically high-risk genetic mutations may be enrolled. High riskgenetic mutation per ELN 2022 should be evaluated as per local assay anddiscussed with the Sponsor prior to study entry

  • For groups receiving NKX101 after lymphodepletion withfludarabine/cyclophosphamide +/- decitabine, group receiving NKX101 afterlymphodepletion with fludarabine/ara-C: Additional subjects who haverelapsed following HCT may be enrolled.

  • For MDS subjects:

  • Intermediate-, high-, or very high-risk MDS

  • Previously treated relapsed/refractory MDS

  • Received at least 1 and at most 3 lines of previous standard anti-MDStherapy

  • For groups receiving NKX101 after lymphodepletion with fludarabine/cyclophosphamide +/- decitabine: Additional subjects with specificallyhigh-risk disease may be enrolled. High-risk genetic mutation should beevaluated as per local assay

  • For group receiving lymphodepletion with fludarabine/cyclophosphamide +/-decitabine and NKX101: Additional subjects who have relapsed following HCTmay be enrolled.

  • Adequate Organ Function

  • Platelet count ≥30,000/uL (platelet transfusions acceptable)

  • Other:

  • Signed informed consent

  • Agree to use an effective barrier method of birth control

Exclusion

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Disease related:

  • Acute promyelocytic leukemia with t(15;17) (q22;q12); or abnormal promyelocyticleukemia/retinoic acid receptor alpha (APML-RARA) and AML arising from chronicmyelomonocytic leukemia (CMML)

  • Evidence of leukemic meningitis or known active central nervous system disease

  • Peripheral leukocytosis with ≥ 20,000 blasts/μL or other evidence of rapidlyprogressive disease that would preclude subject from completing at least 1cycle of treatment

  • Use of any anti-AML/MDS chemotherapeutic or targeted small molecule drug withinprotocol specified window prior to the first dose of NKX101

  • Presence of residual non-hematologic toxicity from prior therapies that has notresolved to ≤ Grade 1

  • Any hematopoietic cell transplantation within 16 weeks

  • Other comorbid conditions and concomitant medications prohibited as per studyprotocol

  • Other:

  • Pregnant or lactating female

Study Design

Total Participants: 61
Treatment Group(s): 1
Primary Treatment: NKX101 - CAR NK cell therapy
Phase: 1
Study Start date:
September 21, 2020
Estimated Completion Date:
July 31, 2039

Study Description

This is a dose-finding study of NKX101 and will be conducted in 2 parts:

Part 1: dose finding with two dosing regimens, utilizing modified "3+3" enrollment schema.

Part 2: dose expansion to further evaluate safety and tolerability, cellular kinetics, pharmacodynamics and anti-tumor response in expansion cohorts of patients with either AML or MDS.
