Using GIC-102 NK cells to treat advanced solid tumors and blood cancers

An Open-label, Multi-center, Dose-escalation and Expansion, Phase 1/2a Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, PK/PD, and Preliminary Anti-tumor Activity of GIC-102 Monotherapy in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors, R/R Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, and Multiple Myeloma

Phase1; Phase2 Interventional GI Cell, Inc. · NCT05880043

This study is testing a new cell therapy called GIC-102 to see if it can safely help people with advanced solid tumors and certain blood cancers.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the safety and effectiveness of GIC-102, an allogeneic natural killer (NK) cell therapy, in patients with advanced solid tumors and relapsed/refractory hematologic malignancies. It consists of a dose-escalation phase to determine the maximum tolerated dose followed by a dose expansion phase. The trial is open-label and non-randomized, focusing on evaluating pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and antitumor effects. Participants will receive GIC-102 monotherapy to assess its potential as a treatment option for these challenging cancers.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 19 and older with advanced solid tumors or relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma or multiple myeloma.

Not a fit: Patients with significant cardiovascular disease, active infections, or other primary malignancies may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new therapeutic option for patients with advanced cancers that are difficult to treat.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies using NK cell therapies have shown promise, indicating potential for success with this novel approach.
