Phase I/Ib Study of NK Expressing an Affinity-enhanced T-cell Receptor (TCR) Against the NY-ESO-1
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical research study is to find a recommended dose of donated NK cells that can be given along with chemotherapy to patients with advanced cancers. The safety and effects of this therapy will also be studied.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients with all cancer histology, with an HLA-A\*02:01, HLA-A\*02:05 or HLA-A\*02:06 positive and a positive expression of NY-ESO-1 (\>/= 50% tumor cells 2+ or 3+ by IHC) in the preenrollment tumor sample, for the dose escalation cohort. NY-ESO expression must be confirmed at MDACC prior to study entry. 2. Patients with histologically confirmed synovial sarcoma (cohort 1) or myxoid/round cell liposarcoma (cohort 2), with an HLA-A\*02:01, HLA-A\*02:05 or HLA-A\*02:06 positive and a positive expression of NY-ESO-1 (\>/= 50% tumor cells 2+ or 3+ by IHC) in the pre-enrollment tumor sample, for the expansion cohorts. Archival samples will be permitted for screening. NY-ESO expression must be confirmed at MDACC prior to study entry. 3. Patients must meet disease-specific eligibility criteria (see below). 4. Patients must have relapsed or become refractory to standard of care treatment and must have received at least one prior line of systemic therapy including either
