Immune cells from cord blood aim to wipe out hidden colon cancer

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Periodic abstinence (e.g., calendar, ovulation, symptothermal, or postovulation methods) and withdrawal are not acceptable methods of contraception. Exclusion Criteria: * Received treatment for the studied cancer within 28 days prior to initiation of study treatment * Received treatment with an investigational therapy within 28 days prior to initiation of study treatment * Has a history of severe allergic-, anaphylactic-, or other hypersensitivity reactions to chimeric- or humanized antibodies or fusion proteins * Has a known hypersensitivity to biopharmaceutical agents produced in Chinese hamster ovary cells * Has a known allergy or hypersensitivity to any component of the expanded CB-NK cells formulation * Has a known allergy or hypersensitivity to any component of the cetuximab formulation * Has active- or a history of autoimmune disease or immune deficiency, including, but not limited to, myasthenia gravis, myositis, autoimmune hepatitis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, antiphospholipid antibody syndrome, Wegener granulomatosis, Sjögren's syndrome, Guillain-Barré syndrome, or multiple sclerosis, with the following exceptions: • Patients with a history of autoimmune-related hypothyroidism who are on thyroid- replacement hormone are eligible for the study. * Patients with controlled Type 1 diabetes mellitus who are on an insulin regimen are eligible for the study. * Patients with eczema, psoriasis, lichen simplex chronicus, or vitiligo with dermatologic manifestations only (e.g., patients with psoriatic arthritis are excluded) are eligible for the study provided all of following conditions are met: * Rash must cover \<10% of body surface area * Disease is well controlled at baseline and requires only low-potency topical corticosteroids * No occurrence of acute exacerbations of the underlying condition requiring psoralen plus ultraviolet A radiation, methotrexate, retinoids, biologic agents, oral calcineurin inhibitors, or high potency or oral corticosteroids within the previous 12 months * Had prior allogeneic stem cell or solid organ transplantation * Has history of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, organizing pneumonia (e.g., bronchiolitis obliterans), drug-induced pneumonitis, idiopathic pneumonitis, or evidence of active pneumonitis on screening chest computed tomography scan • History of radiation pneumonitis in the radiation field (fibrosis) is permitted. * Had a positive HIV test at screening * Has active hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection (chronic or acute), defined as having a positive hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) test at screening • Patients with a past or resolved HBV infection, defined as having a negative HBsAg test and a positive total hepatitis B core antibody (HBcAb) test and negative HBV DNA test at screening, are eligible for the study. * Has active hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, defined as having a positive HCV antibody test followed by a positive HCV RNA test at screening • The HCV RNA test will be performed only for patients who have a positive HCV antibody test. * Has active tuberculosis * Had a severe infection within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment, including, but not limited to, hospitalization for complications of infection, bacteremia, or severe pneumonia * Had treatment with therapeutic oral or intravenous (IV) antibiotics within 2 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment • Patients receiving prophylactic antibiotics (e.g., to prevent a urinary tract infection or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease exacerbation) are eligible for the study. * Has significant cardiovascular disease, such as New York Heart Association cardiac disease (Class II or greater), myocardial infarction, unstable arrhythmia, unstable angina, or cerebrovascular accident within 3 months prior to initiation of study treatment * Had a major surgical procedure, other than for diagnosis, within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment, or anticipates needing a major surgical procedure during the course of the study * Received treatment with a live, attenuated vaccine within 4 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment, or anticipates needing such a vaccine during the course of the study, or up to 5 months following the anticipated dose of expanded CB-NK cells. * Had a malignancy other than the disease under study within 5 years prior to receipt of expanded CB-NK cell therapy. • Allowed are (1) those with a negligible risk of metastasis or death and with expected curative outcome (such as adequately treated carcinoma in situ of the cervix, basal or squamous cell skin cancer, or ductal carcinoma in situ treated surgically with curative intent); or (2) those undergoing active surveillance per standard-of-care management (e.g., chronic lymphocytic leukemia Rai Stage 0) * Has any other disease, metabolic dysfunction, physical examination finding, or clinical laboratory finding that contraindicates the use of an investigational drug, may affect the interpretation of the results, or may render the patient at high risk from treatment complications * Had treatment with any immune checkpoint blockade therapy, including antiCTLA-4, antiPD-1, or antiPD-L1 therapeutic antibodies, within 4 weeks or five half-lives of the drug prior to initiation of this study * Received treatment with systemic immunostimulatory agents (including, but not limited to, interferon and interleukin 2) within 4 weeks or five half-lives of the drug (whichever is longer) prior to initiation of study treatment * Received treatment with systemic immunosuppressive medication (including, but not limited to, corticosteroids, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, methotrexate, thalidomide, and antiTNF- agents) within 2 weeks prior to initiation of study treatment, or anticipates needing systemic immunosuppressive medication during the course of the study, with the following exceptions: * Patients who received low-dose immunosuppressant medication are eligible for the study. * Patients with active immunological disease requiring more than 10 mg of steroids daily are eligible for the study. * Patients who received mineralocorticoids (e.g., fludrocortisone), corticosteroids for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or asthma, or low-dose corticosteroids for orthostatic hypotension or adrenal insufficiency are eligible for the study. * Is pregnant or breastfeeding, or intends to become pregnant during the study • Women of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test result within 14 days prior to initiation of study treatment.
