ONC-PluReceptor NK cells with Epcoritamab and Tafasitamab and Lymphodepletion Chemotherapy for the Treatment of Recurrent or Refractory B-Cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

Trial Status: active

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.
