CD70 CAR Engineered IL15-Transduced Cord Blood-Derived NK Cells and Lymphodepleting Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Advanced Renal Cell Carcinoma, Mesothelioma and Osteosarcoma

Trial Status: active

This phase I/II trial test the safety, efficacy, and best dose of allogeneic anti-CD70-CAR-IL-15-transduced cord blood-derived natural killer cells (CAR.70/IL15-transduced CB-derived NK cells) and whether they work in treating patients with renal cell carcinoma, mesothelioma, or osteosarcoma that may have spread from where it first started to nearby tissue, lymph nodes, or distant parts of the body (advanced). Immune system cells (such as NK cells) are made by the body to attack foreign or cancerous cells. NK cells from the donor may react against the cancer cells in the patient's body, which may help to control the disease. The NK cells are separated from a donor's umbilical cord blood. These separated NK cells will then be grown in the lab to increase the number of NK cells that can be given to the patient by vein. In this study, the NK cells given are called CAR.70/IL15-transduced CB-NK cells. Giving lymphodepleting chemotherapy before CAR.5/IL15-transduced CB-NK cells helps kill cancer cells in the body and helps make room in the patient's bone marrow for new blood-forming cells (stem cells) to grow. Giving patients an NK cell infusion may help to control the disease.
