Safety and Effectiveness Study of Autologous Natural Killer and Natural Killer T Cells on Cancer
A Phase I Open Label, Single Site, Safety and Efficacy Study of the Effects of Autologous Natural Killer and Natural Killer T Cell Immunotherapy on Malignant Disease

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of natural killer (NK) cell and natural killer T (NKT) cell-based autologous adoptive immunotherapy in subjects with metastatic, treatment-refractory breast cancer, glioma, hepatocellular carcinoma, squamous cell lung cancer, pancreatic cancer, colon cancer or prostate cancer.

Phase 1
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
  • Breast Cancer
  • Glioma
  • Hepatocellular Cancer
  • Squamous Cell Lung Cancer
  • Pancreatic Cancer
  • Colon Cancer
  • Prostate Cancer
Biological: Autologous Natural Killer / Natural Killer T Cell Immunotherapy

The study drug is derived from ex vivo expansion of each subject's own white blood cells and is therefore autologous.

The current study proposes a 3-course treatment of doses administered at one week intervals with monitoring at each administration plus 2 weeks after the last dose. The total study time (apheresis through last follow-up) is estimated at 15 weeks.

  • If female of childbearing potential, subject is not pregnant, breast-feeding or planning a pregnancy during the study, and has a negative pregnancy test on screening visit.
  • Able to comprehend and sign an informed consent document and comply with the requirements of the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • No measurable malignant disease by CT scan or tumor markers.
  • Life expectancy of ≤ 24 weeks as measured by the Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status.
  • Age of less than 18 years or over 80 years of age.
  • Documented/confirmed positive testing for hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV, or CMV.
  • Prior or current history of autoimmune disease.
  • Pregnant or lactating women.
  • Leukocyte count < 3,000 /μL prior to leukapheresis.
  • Platelet count < 100,000/μL prior to leukapheresis.
  • Hemoglobin levels below 10.
  • PTT (prothrombin time) of < 12 seconds or > than 15 seconds.
  • aPTT (activated partial thromboplastin time) of < 25 seconds or > than 39 seconds.
  • Failure or refusal to sign informed consent for the study.
  • Culture fails to meet specifications for study.
  • Subject has any other medical condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, might significantly affect the ability to safely participate in the study or affect the conduct of the study.
