A randomized phase I/IIa study to evaluate the safety and efficacy of SNK01 (non-genetically modified autologous natural killer cells with enhanced cytotoxicity) plus pembrolizumab in patients with stage IV non-small cell lung cancer.
3037
Background: Despite the increased promise of checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of lung cancer, the overall response rate is approximately 30% with up to 30% moderate to severe side effects. Natural killer (NK) cells have recently been implicated in antitumor response to immune checkpoint inhibitors. SNK01 is a novel non-genetically modified autologous natural killer cell therapy with enhanced cytotoxicity which has been found to have tumoricidal effects against several lung cancer cell lines. Methods: 18 patients with Stage IV NSCLC (PD-L1+, EGFR-, ALK-) who all failed prior frontline platinum-based therapy were randomized 2:1 to Pembrolizumab every three weeks +/- 6 weekly infusions of SNK01 at either 2 x 109 or 4 x 109 cells per infusion. Primary endpoint is safety and secondary endpoints are objective response rate (ORR), progression-free survival (PFS), overall survival (OS), time to progression (TPP), and quality of life (QoL). Results: 14 patients have been enrolled up to date and 9 have completed treatment. Median age is 69 (52-73). Two patients discontinued treatment prior to receiving their first dose of SNK01 due to Grade 3 toxicity to Pembrolizumab. Three patients have completed therapy with Pembrolizumab alone and all had progressive disease. Three patients have completed Pembrolizumab with 2 x 109 SNK01 and three patients have completed Pembrolizumab with 4 x 109 SNK01. Of patients receiving full combination therapy, there have been no adverse events or any reported toxicity while overall QoL has been improved. The week 9 overall response rate in the combination group is 66% using iRECIST (3/6 cPR, 1/6 PR). All remaining planned patients are currently being enrolled and a full update will be presented. Conclusions: These preliminary results demonstrate that combination therapy with Pembrolizumab and SNK01 is very safe and even appears to reduce checkpoint associated toxicity while increasing overall tumor response compared to Pembrolizumab monotherapy alone in Stage IV NSCLC patients who have failed prior platinum-based treatment.
