Modified Immune Cells (AFM13-NK) and A Monoclonal Antibody (AFM13) in Treating Patients With Recurrent or Refractory CD30 Positive Hodgkin or Non-Hodgkin Lymphomas

NCT04074746

Description:

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of modified umbilical cord blood immune cells (natural killer [NK] cells) combined with the antibody AFM13 (AFM13-NK) and AFM13 alone in treating patients with CD30 positive Hodgkin lymphoma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as AFM13, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving AFM13 loaded with NK cells followed by AFM13 alone may kill more cancer cells and decrease cancer growth in patients with CD30 positive AFM13-NK Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

Purpose

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of modified umbilical cord blood immune cells (natural killer [NK] cells) combined with the antibody AFM13 (AFM13-NK) and AFM13 alone in treating patients with CD30 positive Hodgkin lymphoma or non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has come back (recurrent) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as AFM13, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving AFM13 loaded with NK cells followed by AFM13 alone may kill more cancer cells and decrease cancer growth in patients with CD30 positive AFM13-NK Hodgkin and Non-Hodgkin lymphomas.

Detailed Description

      PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

      I. To establish the safety and recommended phase II dose of umbilical cord blood (CB)-derived
      natural killer (NK) cells preloaded with the bispecific antibody AFM13 (AFM13-NK), followed
      by intravenous anti-CD30/CD16A monoclonal antibody AFM13 (AFM13) in patients with
      refractory/relapsed CD30-positive lymphoid malignancies.

      SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

      I. To assess the overall response rate (ORR), complete response (CR) rate and partial
      response (PR) rate.

      II. To evaluate the duration of response. III. To evaluate the event-free survival (EFS)
      rate. IV. To evaluate the overall survival (OS) time. V. To quantify the persistence of
      infused donor CB AFM13-NK cells in the recipient.

      VI. To conduct comprehensive immune reconstitution studies.

      OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of AFM13-NK.

      Patients receive standard of care fludarabine intravenously (IV) over 1 hour and standard of
      care cyclophosphamide IV over 30-60 minutes on days -4 to -2, AFM13-NK IV over 4 hours on day
      0, and then AFM13 IV over 4 hours on days 7, 14, and 21.

      After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at 28 days, 8 weeks, 100 and
      180 days and then every 3-6 months for 2 years.
