Immune cell therapy takes on Hard-to-Treat cancers
NCT ID NCT07410676
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests a new treatment called EBNK-001, made from donor immune cells (natural killer cells), in people with advanced solid tumors that have not responded to standard therapies. Participants receive the cells after chemotherapy to prepare the body, along with low-dose interleukin-15 to support the cells, and some also get the drug pembrolizumab. The goal is to see if this combination is safe and can shrink tumors.

Inclusion Criteria: * Age ≥18 years. * Histologically confirmed advanced/metastatic solid tumor that is relapsed/refractory after standard therapy (or no standard therapy available). * Measurable disease per RECIST v1.1 (or iRECIST if applicable). * ECOG performance status 0-1 (or 0-2 as allowed). * Adequate organ function (thresholds modeled on NK protocols): * Platelets ≥ 75,000/µL; hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL; ANC ≥ 1,000/µL (unsupported by growth factors/transfusions as defined). * eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73m². * AST/ALT ≤ 3× ULN. * Oxygen saturation ≥ 90% on room air (with PFT requirements if indicated). * LVEF ≥ 40% (by ECHO/MUGA/CMR). * If brain metastases are present, they must be stable for a defined period (example: ≥3 months) and not requiring escalating steroids. Exclusion Criteria: * Pregnant or breastfeeding. * Any condition requiring systemic immunosuppression (e.g., \>5 mg prednisone/day or equivalent) during dosing window (topical/inhaled may be allowed). * Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic immunosuppression. * Uncontrolled bacterial, fungal, or viral infection. * Receipt of investigational agent within 28 days before first study drug. * Live vaccine within 6 weeks prior to lymphodepletion. * Known HIV positivity or active hepatitis B/C with detectable viral load (protocol may allow chronic asymptomatic hepatitis depending on risk plan). * Known allergy to investigational product components (example: albumin/human or DMSO). * Any medical/social condition likely to interfere with study compliance or increase risk.
