Trial summary

NK cells can persist and expand in vivo following adoptive transfer and may have a role in the treatment of late stage malignancies. NK also express an activating Fc receptor that mediates antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and production of immune modulatory cytokines in response to antibody-coated… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: A Phase I Trial of Combined Nimotuzumab With NK Cells Adoptive Transfer for the Treatment of Advanced Cancer

NK cells can persist and expand in vivo following adoptive transfer and may have a role in the treatment of late stage malignancies. NK also express an activating Fc receptor that mediates antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC) and production of immune modulatory cytokines in response to antibody-coated targets. Nimotuzumab, an monoclonal antibody against EGFR (epidermal growth factor receptor), may enhance the ADCC effect of NK cell. This study will evaluate the safety of combination of nimotuzumab and NK Cell in treating advanced cancer patients. Blood samples will also be collected for research purposes.

Read the detailed description

This is a phase I clinical study of expanded NK cells from autologous origin. The NK cell will be selected and expanded ex vivo and infused back into patients. Nimotuzumab will be used 24 hours before infusion. 21 advanced cancer patients are planned to receive two cycles of NK cells and Nimotuzumab treatment. Biomarkers and immunological markers are collected and analyzed as well.

Being tested
NK Cell adaptive transfer, Nimotuzumab

Study groups in NCT03554889
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Experimental GroupExperimentalPeripheral blood lymphocytes will be collected. The NK cell will be selected and expanded ex vivo, then adaptive transfer back into patients. A total of 5.0 x 10^8/L NK cells will be infused in one cycle.To avoid allergic reactions, 50 mg hydrocortisone was intramuscularly injected into patient 30 min before cells infusion every time. Best supportive care was also provided for patients. Nimotuzumab will be used 24 hours before infusion. Patients continued receiving treatment unless they had unacceptable adverse effects, or progressive disease confirmed by CT and PET-CT or they withdrew consent.
Receives: Biological: NK Cell adaptive transfer; Drug: Nimotuzumab

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events

    Number of Patients with Clinical or Biological Treatment-related Adverse Events and/or Dose Limiting Toxicities as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability of a Combination of Nimotuzumab and NK Cell as assessed by CTCAE v4.0

    Measured: 6 month

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Response Rate

    Response will be evaluated according to RECIST v1.1

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing NK Cell adaptive transfer and Nimotuzumab in people with Advanced Cancer and ADCC, run by Hangzhou Cancer Hospital at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 9 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jun 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Shixiu Wu, Doctor (+8657186826086, wushixiu@medmail.com.cn), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events (time frame: 6 month). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 13 Jun 2018.
