Overview
This is a first-in-human trial to investigate the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and antitumor effects of GIC-102 in patients with advanced solid tumors, relapsed/refractory non-hodgkin lymphoma, and multiple myeloma.
Description
This is a first-in-human, open-label, non-randomized, dose-escalation phase 1 trial to determine the safety profile and identify the maximum tolerated dose of GIC-102 in patients with advanced solid tumors, relapsed/refractory non-hodgkin lymphoma, and multiple myeloma.
GIC-102 is an "off-the-shelf" allogeneic natural killer cells isolated from non-HLA-related healthy donor. Natural killer cells are innate immune cells that show strong cytolytic function against physiologically stressed cells such as tumor cells and virus infected cells.
Patients will receive at least 2 cycles of GIC-102 (each cycle is 3 treatments at a frequency of once a week, and 28 days is defined as one cycle). After treatment period, patients will undergo follow up for survival every 8 weeks for up to 6 months.
