Study Summary

This trial is testing a new therapy called NKX019 (allogeneic CAR NK cells targeting CD19) to see if it is safe and tolerable for patients with relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL).

Who is the study for?
Adults with certain B-cell cancers like non-Hodgkin lymphoma, chronic lymphocytic leukemia, or acute lymphoblastic leukemia that have come back or didn't respond to treatment can join. They must have had at least two prior treatments (one for some cases), be in fairly good health, and not pregnant. People with active brain cancer, recent other cancer treatments, or specific types of lymphoma aren't eligible.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing NKX019, a new type of cell therapy using modified natural killer cells aimed at CD19 on cancer cells. It's an early-phase study to see if it's safe and how well patients tolerate it. All participants receive the same experimental treatment without a comparison group.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to immune response such as fever and fatigue, organ inflammation due to targeted cell destruction by the therapy, infusion-related reactions from the actual process of receiving the cells intravenously.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: NKX019 - CAR NK cell therapyExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
All subjects will receive fludarabine/cyclophosphamide lymphodepletion followed by 3 weekly doses of NKX019 on Day 0, 7, and 14 of a 28-day cycle. Combination cohorts (if opened) will additionally receive rituximab with each cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are individuals currently being accepted to partake in this clinical trial?

"This research study, which was initially published on August 20th 2021, is still actively searching for participants. Recent updates to the information were made January 19th 2022."

Answered by AI

What are the principal aims of this research?

"According to the study sponsor, Nkarta Inc., one of the primary objectives being evaluated is safety and tolerability during a 28-day period post first dose. Additionally, NKX019's half life reduction rate, duration of persistence in peripheral blood, and objective response rate will be analyzed as secondary outcomes. To measure such metrics, Lugano classification (with LYRIC refinement for NHL cases) 2018 iwCLL guidelines for CLL/SLL patients, Version 1.2020 NCCN criteria for B-ALL sufferers and consensus criteria from 6th International Workshop on Waldenström Macroglobulinem"

Answered by AI

What is the scale of this experiment in terms of participant numbers?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrial.gov displays that this research, initially published on August 20th 2021 is actively recruiting volunteers. 60 participants need to be sourced from 3 distinct medical sites."

Answered by AI

Has the regulatory body given clearance to NKX019?

"NKX019's safety score is assessed to be 1 due to its Phase 1 designation, as there is only minimal data proving its efficacy and security."
