Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Part 1: Monotherapy with agenT-797
3+3 Dose escalation of agenT-797 will be administered as a single intravenous (IV) infusion.
|
Drug: agenT-797
agenT-797 is an off-the-shelf cell therapy consisting of ≥ 95% allogeneic human unmodified iNKT cells isolated from 1 healthy donor mononuclear cell apheresis unit and expanded ex vivo. |
Experimental: Part 2: agenT-797 in Combination with approved ICIs
Single prespecified dose of agenT-797 administered by IV infusion in combination with approved ICIs administered in accordance with manufacturer instructions and institutional guidelines as per standard of care
|
Drug: agenT-797
agenT-797 is an off-the-shelf cell therapy consisting of ≥ 95% allogeneic human unmodified iNKT cells isolated from 1 healthy donor mononuclear cell apheresis unit and expanded ex vivo. Drug: Approved ICIs Nivolumab and pembrolizumab |
- Number Of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) [ Time Frame: Baseline through 12 months ]This will be determined according to the National Cancer Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 (NCI CTCAE v5.0).
- Number Of Adverse Events (AEs) By The Dose Of iNKT Cell Therapy [ Time Frame: Baseline through 12 months ]This will be determined according to the NCI CTCAE v5.0.
- Number Of TEAEs By The Dose Of iNKT Cell Therapy [ Time Frame: Baseline through 12 months ]This will be determined according to the NCI CTCAE v5.0.
- Severity Grade Of AEs By Dose Of iNKT Cell Therapy [ Time Frame: Baseline through 12 months ]This will be determined according to the NCI CTCAE v5.0.
- Number Of Dose-limiting Toxicities [ Time Frame: Baseline through first 14 days after administration ]
- Persistence Of agenT-797 In Peripheral Blood Samples [ Time Frame: Baseline/Day 1 (pre-infusion, 5 minutes, 0.25, 0.5, 1, 2, and 4 hours after cell infusion), and on Days 2, 5, 8, 15, 22, and 29; Weeks 6, 8, and 12; and Months 6, 9, and 12 ]This will be measured as a length of time, through collection of peripheral blood mononuclear cells and analysis by flow cytometry.
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ]For solid tumors, this will be determined per Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 guidelines and for prostate cancer (not evaluable per RECIST 1.1), Prostate Cancer Working Group 3 (PCWG3) will be used.
- Duration Of Response (DOR) [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ]For solid tumors, this will be determined per RECIST 1.1 guidelines and for prostate cancer (not evaluable per RECIST 1.1), PCWG3 will be used.
- Progression-free Survival (PFS) [ Time Frame: Up to 12 months ]For solid tumors, this will be determined per RECIST 1.1 guidelines and for prostate cancer (not evaluable per RECIST 1.1), PCWG3 will be used.
- Incidence Of Panel-reactive Antibody [ Time Frame: Baseline/Day 1 (pre-infusion), Day 8, Day 15, Day 29, Week 8, Week 12, Month 6, and end of study visit (up to 12 months) ]
- Incidence Of Donor-specific Antibody [ Time Frame: Baseline/Day 1 (pre-infusion), Day 8, Day 15, Day 29, Week 8, Week 12, Month 6, and end of study visit (up to 12 months) ]

Ages Eligible for Study: | 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Histological or cytological evidence of relapsed or refractory solid tumor malignancy for which no standard therapy is available or standard therapy has failed

Exclusion Criteria:
- Concurrent invasive malignancy
- Brain and/or leptomeningeal metastases that are untreated or require current therapy
- Prior radiotherapy within 2 weeks of start of study treatment
