This Phase 1/2 study evaluates the safety, feasibility, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of allogeneic donor-derived CAR-NK cells in participants with advanced solid tumors. The CAR target antigen is selected for each participant after tumor profiling using a tissue biopsy and/or liquid biopsy. Participants will receive either a single-target or dual-target CAR-NK product based on the antigen profile.
This is an open-label, biomarker-driven adoptive cell therapy study.
Screening / Target Selection (Precision Step):
Participants undergo tumor antigen profiling using:
Tissue biopsy (preferred when safely feasible), and/or Liquid biopsy (e.g., circulating tumor DNA plus circulating tumor cells/exosome protein assay, as available in the platform).
Antigen profiling determines eligibility and assigns participants to:
Single-target CAR-NK if one antigen meets positivity thresholds, or Dual-target CAR-NK if two antigens meet thresholds or if heterogeneity is suspected.
Pre-specified target menu :
TROP2, Mesothelin (MSLN), B7-H3 (CD276), HER2, EGFR, GD2, Claudin18.2, GPC3, PSMA ("Target menu" can be expanded in amendments.)
Cell Source / Manufacturing Concept:
NK cells are obtained from a healthy allogeneic donor (unrelated or partially matched per site policy).
Donor NK cells are collected by leukapheresis, activated/expanded, and genetically modified to express:
a single CAR (Arm A) or a dual CAR / dual-target construct (Arm B). Final product is cryopreserved and released after sterility/identity/potency testing.
Conditioning & Treatment:
Participants receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by CAR-NK infusion(s). Many CAR-NK solid-tumor trials use conditioning regimens such as fludarabine and cyclophosphamide before infusion.
Optional cytokine support (e.g., low-dose IL-2) may be used per protocol to support NK persistence, consistent with approaches used in some CAR-NK studies.
Follow-up:
Intensive safety monitoring during the first 28 days. Tumor imaging at protocol-defined intervals. Correlative studies including CAR-NK persistence and ctDNA dynamics.
