Brief Summary:
This is a Phase 1, open-label study to explore the safety, tolerability, and preliminary clinical activity of agenT-797, an unmodified, allogeneic iNKT cell therapy, in participants with relapsed/refractory (r/r) solid tumors, as well as define the recommended phase II dose in solid tumors. This Phase 1 study will also explore the safety, tolerability, and preliminary clinical activity of agenT-797 in combination with approved immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs), including pembrolizumab and nivolumab, in participants with r/r solid tumors.

Layout table for study information
Study Type : Interventional  (Clinical Trial)
Estimated Enrollment : 30 participants
Allocation: Non-Randomized
Intervention Model: Sequential Assignment
Masking: None (Open Label)
Primary Purpose: Treatment
Official Title: A Phase 1, Open-Label Study of the Safety, Tolerability and Preliminary Clinical Activity of Allogeneic Invariant Natural Killer T (iNKT) Cells (agenT-797) as a Single Agent and in Combination With Approved Immune Checkpoint Inhibitors in Patients With Relapsed/ Refractory Solid Tumors
Actual Study Start Date : January 28, 2022
Estimated Primary Completion Date : December 2022
Estimated Study Completion Date : December 2023

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




Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. 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).

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. Number Of Dose-limiting Toxicities [ Time Frame: Baseline through first 14 days after administration ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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) ]
  6. 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) ]

Criteria

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
