Brief Summary:
This is a single arm, open-label, multi-center, Phase 1 study to determine the safety and tolerability of an experimental therapy called NKX019 (allogeneic CAR NK cells targeting CD19) in patients with relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL)

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Lymphoma, Non-Hodgkin B-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Large B-cell Lymphoma Mantle Cell Lymphoma Indolent Lymphoma Waldenstrom Macroglobulinemia Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Small Lymphocytic Lymphoma Aggressive Lymphoma Large-cell Lymphoma Biological: NKX019 Phase 1

Detailed Description:

This is a dose-finding study of NKX019 and will be conducted in 2 parts:

Part 1: dose finding utilizing a "3+3" enrollment schema and safety lead-in to confirm dose for NKX019 in combination with rituximab expansion cohorts (as applicable) Part 2: dose expansion to further evaluate safety and tolerability, cellular kinetics, pharmacodynamics and anti-tumor response in expansion cohorts of patients with large B cell lymphoma (LBCL), mantle cell lymphoma (MCL), indolent lymphoma (IL), Waldenström macroglobulinemia (WM), CLL/ small lymphocytic lymphoma (SLL), and B-ALL.

Arms and Interventions
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Arm Intervention/treatment
Experimental: NKX019 - CAR NK cell therapy
All subjects will receive fludarabine/cyclophosphamide lymphodepletion followed by 3 weekly doses of NKX019 on Day 0, 7, and 14 of a 28-day cycle. Combination cohorts (if opened) will additionally receive rituximab with each cycle.
 Biological: NKX019
NKX019 is an investigational allogeneic CAR NK product targeting CD19 on cells. The starting dose of NKX019 in Part 1 is 3 × 10^8 NK cells (6 × 10^6/kg for patients < 50 kg) administered as 3 weekly doses. Part 2 (dose expansion cohorts) will use the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) of NKX019 as determined in Part 1.


Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability] [ Time Frame: 30 days after last dose of NKX019 ]
    Incidence, nature, and severity of treatment related adverse events will be evaluated. An adverse event is any unfavorable and unintended sign including clinically significant abnormal laboratory findings, symptom or disease.

  2. Proportion of subjects experiencing dose-limiting toxicities of NKX019 [ Time Frame: 28 days from first dose of NKX019 ]
    DLTs are defined as adverse events attributable to NKX019 treatment that occur during Cycle 1 and meet protocol-specified criteria

  3. Objective response rate to NKX019 in Part 2 [ Time Frame: Primary assessment: 28 days after the first dose of NKX019 followed up to 2 years after the last dose of NKX019] ]
    Percentage of subjects with complete and partial response. Response to treatment will be assessed based on: Lugano classification with LYRIC refinement for subjects with NHL (except CLL/SLL and WM); 2018 iwCLL guidelines for subjects with CLL/SLL; Version 1.2020 NCCN for subjects with B-ALL; consensus criteria from the 6th International Workshop on Waldenström Macroglobulinemia for subjects with WM.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Assessment of NKX019 half-life [ Time Frame: Time Frame: 28 days from first dose of NKX019 ]
    Time required for 50% reduction from maximum amount of circulating NKX019

  2. NKX019 duration of persistence [ Time Frame: Followed up to 2 years after last dose of NKX019 ]
    Testing NKX019 in peripheral blood every 3 months after dosing to determine persistence

  3. Evaluation of host immune response against NKX019 [ Time Frame: Followed up to 2 years after last dose of NKX019 ]
    Serum samples will be measured for antibodies against NKX019

  4. Objective response rate to NKX019 in Part 1 [ Time Frame: Primary assessment: 28 days after first dose of NKX019 followed up to 2 years after last dose of NKX019 ]
    Percentage of subjects with complete and partial response. Response to treatment will be assessed based on: Lugano classification with LYRIC refinement for subjects with NHL (except CLL/SLL and WM); 2018 iwCLL guidelines for subjects with CLL/SLL; Version 1.2020 NCCN for subjects with B-ALL; consensus criteria from the 6th International Workshop on Waldenström Macroglobulinemia for subjects with WM.
