About this trial

This is phase 2 single arm study evaluating the safety and preliminary efficacy of M-CENK adoptive cell therapy and fixed dose of N-803 in combination with gemcitabine in participants with platinum-resistant high-grade ovarian cancer (HGOC).Up to 20 participants will receive M-CENK (IV) and N-803 (SC) in combination with gemcitabine (IV).

Participants will undergo an apheresis procedure for the collection of mononuclear cells (MNCs) at least 1 day prior to Cycle 1 for manufacturing of M-CENK. Starting in Cycle 1, participants will receive gemcitabine and starting in Cycle 2 they will also receive M-CENK and N-803, until no additional M-CENK is available or confirmed PD per iRECIST, unless the participant is potentially deriving benefit per Investigator's assessment.

Participants who complete the study treatment or discontinue study treatment will be followed for survival/disease status every 12 weeks (± 2 weeks) for up to 12 months after the last study treatment or until death, lost to follow-up, or withdrawal of consent.

Eligibility criteria

Qualifiers

≥18 years and <85 years old.

Able to understand and provide a signed informed consent that fulfills the relevant Institutional Review Board (IRB) or Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) guidelines.

Participants must be appropriate for single-agent therapy as the next line of therapy, as determined by the Investigator.

Participants must have received prior treatment with bevacizumab.

Disqualifiers

Participants with clear cell, mucinous, or sarcomatous histology, mixed tumors containing any of the above histologies, or low grade or borderline ovarian tumor.

Distant metastasis outside of the abdominopelvic cavity (e.g., central nervous system, pulmonary, osseous, etc.).

Have had anti-tumor chemotherapy or other investigational agents within 2 weeks prior to M-CENK cell infusion, or immunotherapy within 4 weeks prior, or those who have not recovered from adverse events due to agents administered more than two weeks prior. The intent of the language is to ensure that anti-tumor chemotherapy or other investigational agents are not administered to participants within the specified window since they can potentially affect M-CENK cell activity. Therefore, the washout period is defined by time from NK cell infusion and not patient enrollment. During eligibility confirmation from the study team is requested to confirm that according to the planned M-CENK cell dosing schedule, the washout period should be completed, based on each drug class.

Current bowel obstruction, history of bowel obstruction, or high risk for bowel obstruction (in the opinion of the investigator).
