Intraperitoneal FT536 with Lymphodepleting Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Patients with Recurrent Ovarian, Fallopian Tube, and Primary Peritoneal Cancer
This phase I trial tests the safety, side effects and best dose of FT536, given in the abdomen (intraperitoneally), with lymphodepleting chemotherapy for the treatment of patients with ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer that has come back after a period of improvement (recurrent). FT536 is a type of genetically engineered cell product, make from a healthy human donor, that is made up of “natural killer” or NK cells. NK cells are a type of immune blood cell that are known to attack cancer cells. Lymphodepleting chemotherapy with fludarabine and cyclophosphamides is given prior to infusion with FT536 to allow the engineered cancer-targeting immune cells to dominate.
Inclusion Criteria
- Recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer, fallopian tube, or primary peritoneal cancer meeting one of the following minimal prior treatment requirements (no limit to the maximum number of prior treatments). * Platinum resistant: may receive FT536 as 2nd line (as 1st salvage therapy). Platinum resistant is defined as disease that has responded to initial chemotherapy but demonstrates recurrence within a relatively short period of time (< 6 months) following the completion of treatment. * Platinum sensitive: may receive FT536 as 3rd line therapy (as 2nd salvage therapy). Platinum sensitive is defined as the recurrence of active disease in a patient who has achieved a documented response to initial platinum based treatment and has been off therapy for an extended period of time (≥ 6 months)

- Agrees to undergo a tumor biopsy if feasible at the time the catheter is placed and removed – Accessible tumor for biopsy is not required for eligibility
- If history of brain metastases must be stable for at least 3 months after treatment – A brain CT scan or MRI is only required in patients with known brain metastases at the time of enrollment or in those with clinical signs or symptoms suggestive of brain metastases
- Must agree to and sign the consent for the companion Long-Term Follow-Up study (CPRC# 2021LS077) to fulfill the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommended 15 years of follow up for a genetically modified cell product
- Voluntary written consent prior to the performance of any research related procedures
- RETREATMENT: Achieved clinical benefit from the 1st treatment course (stable disease, partial response [PR] or complete response [CR] based on RECIST) when comparing baseline CT scan and the CT scan performed around day 36
- RETREATMENT: A functioning IP catheter
- RETREATMENT: No unacceptable toxicity (experienced toxicity that met the definition of a dose-limiting toxicity [DLT] and/or toxicity that caused a dose to be skipped during the first course of FT536)
- RETREATMNET: All acute treatment related adverse events have resolved to ≤ grade 1 or baseline (except for grade 2 lymphopenia), whichever is higher
- RETREATMENT: No decline in GOG performance status from baseline as recorded at the day 36 visit assessment
- RETREATMENT: Continues to meet laboratory requirements for first treatment
- RETREATMENT: Voluntary written consent using the retreatment consent (CPRC# 2023LS185R) prior to any retreatment activities
Exclusion Criteria
- Pregnant or breastfeeding or planning on becoming pregnant in the next 6 months. If of childbearing potential (have a uterus and ovaries) and engaged in heterosexual intercourse, must have a negative pregnancy test (serum or urine) within 14 days before the 1st CY/Flu.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:
I. To determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of FT536 monotherapy when administered via intraperitoneal (IP) catheter in patients with recurrent ovarian, fallopian tube, and primary peritoneal cancer.
SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:
I. To characterize the toxicities associated with IP FT536 when administered as monotherapy.
II. To estimate progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) at 6 months and 12 months from the 1st dose of FT536.
III. To gain preliminary efficacy information based on Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST) 1.1 of this treatment combination.
CORRELATIVE OBJECTIVES:
I. To characterize the pharmacokinetics (PK) of FT536 monotherapy in the peritoneal fluid, peripheral blood and tumor biopsy samples.
II. To assess the association of PK in the peritoneal fluid of FT536 monotherapy in patient population with safety and anti-tumor activity.
III. To assess tumor microenvironment.
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study.
Patients undergo placement of a peritoneal port/catheter on day -6 or earlier, receive lymphodepletion chemotherapy with fludarabine intravenously (IV) over 1 hour and cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours on days -5 and -4. Starting at least 48 hours, but no more than 7 days after the last dose of fludarabine, patients receive FT536 IP over 2 hours on days 1, 4 and 8 in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. If patients have clinical benefit, they may receive an additional cycle of treatment. Patients undergo computed tomography (CT) scan with or without positron emission tomography (PET) and blood sample collection throughout the study and may undergo magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), echocardiography (ECHO), and multigated acquisition (MUGA) scan during screening. Additionally, patients may undergo tissue biopsy during screening and on study.
After completion of study treatment, patients follow up at days 15, 22, 29, 36, every 3 months up to 1 year then yearly for up to 15 years.
