About this trial
The goal of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of TGFBR-2 KO CD70 CAR NK (TRICK-NK) in combination with 2 doses of T-Dxd that can be given to participants who have advanced breast cancer. The safety of TRICK-NK will also be studied.
The goal of Part 1 (dose escalation) of this clinical research study is to find the highest tolerable dose of TRICK-NK (in combination with T-Dxd) that can be given to participants who have advanced breast cancer.
The goal of Part 2 (dose expansion) of this clinical research study is to learn if the dose of TRICK-NK found in Part 1 can help to control the disease.
The optional schedule optimization phase will test a shorter interval between the NK cell infusion and the first dose of T-Dxd.
Eligibility criteria
Qualifiers
Patients must have histologically confirmed breast cancer that is metastatic or unresectable and for which standard curative or palliative measures do not exist or are no longer effective.
Patients must have measurable disease, defined as at least one lesion that can be accurately measured in at least one dimension (longest diameter to be recorded for nonnodal lesions and short axis for nodal lesions) as ≥20 mm (≥2 cm) by chest x-ray or as ≥10 mm (≥1 cm) with CT scan, MRI, or calipers by clinical exam.
Age ≥18 years. Because no dosing or adverse event data are currently available on the use of TRICK-NK cells in patients <18 years of age, children are excluded from this study.
For patients with triple negative subtype (TNBC, ER<1%, PR 1%, HER2 negative per ASCO/ CAP 2018 guideline), must have received at least one dose of Sacituzumab govitecan or anti-TROP2 antibody drug conjugate (ADC)
Disqualifiers
Presence of clinically significant ongoing Grade ≥ 2 toxicity unequivocally associated with the previous anticancer treatment, as determined by the PI. Toxicities related to prior surgery, radiation, prior systemic immune checkpoint inhibitors and chemotherapy should be resolved to Grade 1 or below prior to lymphodepletion.
Presence of fungal, bacterial, viral, or other infection requiring IV antimicrobials for management or not responding to appropriate therapy. Note: Patients with simple urinary tract infection and uncomplicated bacterial pharyngitis are permitted if responding to active treatment.
Known active hepatitis B or C.
Known human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
