This phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, best dose and how well giving ONC-PluReceptor NK cells with epcoritamab and tafasitamab and lymphodepletion chemotherapy for patients with B-cell non-hodgkin lymphoma that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent) or that does not respond to treatment (refractory). ONC-PluReceptor NK cells are collected from umbilical cord blood and infused into a patient, and may help the patient's bone marrow make more healthy cells and platelets and may help destroy any remaining cancer cells. Epcoritamab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Tafasitamab is a monoclonal antibody. A monoclonal antibody is a type of protein that can bind to certain targets in the body, such as molecules that cause the body to make an immune response (antigens). Tafasitamab binds to CD19 antigen which is found on the surface of most B cells (a type of white blood cell) and some lymphoma cells. This may help the immune system kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy, with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, are given prior to the NK cells and helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new cells to grow. Giving ONC-PluReceptor NK cells with epcoritamab and tafasitamab and lymphodepletion chemotherapy may be safe, tolerable and/or effective in treating patients with recurrent or refractory B-cell non-hodgkin lymphoma.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To establish the safety and recommended phase II dose (RP2D) of umbilical cord blood (CB)- derived natural killer (NK) cells transduced with ONC-PluReceptor (CD3 complex/IL-15) in combination with epcoritamab and tafasitamab for patients with relapsed/refractory (R/R) CD19/CD20-positive B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To evaluate the overall response rate (ORR), complete response (CR) rate and partial response (PR) rate of patients treated at the RP2D.
II. To evaluate the duration of response (DOR).
III. To evaluate the progression-free survival (PFS) rate.
IV. To evaluate the overall survival (OS) time.
V. To quantify the persistence of infused donor NK cells in the recipient.
VI. To conduct comprehensive immune reconstitution studies.
OUTLINE: This is a phase I dose-escalation study of cord blood-derived TCR-CD3 complex/IL-15-expressing natural killer cells (ONC-PluReceptor NK cells) in combination with epcoritamab and tafasitamab followed by a phase II study.
CYCLE 1: Patients receive epcoritamab subcutaneously (SC) on day -49, -42, -35, -28, -1 and day +20, tafasitamab intravenously (IV) on day on day -2 and day +19, and cyclophosphamide IV and fludarabine on day -5 to -3. Patients receive ONC-PluReceptor NK cells IV on day 0. Treatment is given in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. Patients undergo restaging at day +28 and patients with no response may receive cycle 2, patients undergo restaging again at day +100 and patients with active disease may receive cycle 2.
CYCLE 2: Patients receive fludarabine and cyclophosphamide IV on days -5 to -3, tafasitamab IV on day -2 and +19 and epcoritamab SC on day -1 and day +20. Patients receive ONC-PluReceptor NK cells IV on day 0. Treatment is given in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
Patients undergo urine sample collection, chest x-ray, and echocardiography (ECHO) or multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan during screening, and computed tomography (CT) scan, positron emission tomography (PET) scan, bone marrow aspiration and biopsy, and blood sample collection throughout the study.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up at day +180, month 9 and month 12.
