Clinical Trial Summary

The present study is a multi-center, single-arm, open, phase I/IIa clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EBViNT Cell when administered to patients with Epstein-Barr (EBV) positive malignancies The present study investigates with 5 parts; Part1-phase I: IP single therapy on ENKL and solid tumors Part2-phase I: IP + lymphodepletion on solid tumors Part 3&5- Phase IIa: IP single therapy on each ENKL and solid tumors Part 4- Phase IIa: IP + lymphodepletion on solid tumors


Description:

The present study is a multi-center, single-arm, open, phase I/IIa clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of EBViNT Cell when administered to patients with Epstein-Barr (EBV) positive tumors After proving the safety through Part 1 and part 2, the efficacy and safety would be studied through part 3~5. - If CTCAE grade 3 or higher adverse drug events (ADR) do not occur in the three subjects: Begin enrollment for phase IIa - If a CTCAE grade 3 or higher ADR occurs in one of the three subjects: Enroll three more subjects (up to six subjects in total) and assess whether any CTCAE grade 3 or higher ADR occurs - If a CTCAE grade 3 or higher ADR does not occur in the three additional subjects (1/6): Begin enrollment for phase IIa - If a CTCAE grade 3 or higher ADR occurs in at least one of the three additional subjects (more than 2/6): Begin enrollment for phase IIa at 7.0x10^8 cells, the maximum dose from phase I - If a CTCAE grade 3 or higher ADR occurs in two of the three subjects: Begin enrollment for phase IIa at 7.0x10^8 cells, the maximum dose from phase I Subjects participating in the present study will undergo 1) an EBV epitope screening test followed by 2) an eligibility assessment for clinical trial enrollment. Subjects who are administered with the investigational product will be monitored until progressive disease (PD) is confirmed or for 24 weeks (main observation period of 4 weeks + monitoring for 20 weeks) to evaluate the product's safety and efficacy, and will undergo immunological assessment. Radiological tests for tumor assessment will be conducted at the enrollment visit, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 16 weeks, and 24 weeks and assessed by the Independent Radiology Review Committee (IRRC) using the Lugano criteria. To eliminate pseudo-progression, progressive disease (PD) will be determined by considering immunological tests, a quantitative EBV DNA assay, and intermediate response (IR) under LYRIC. Biopsies may be performed to achieve this.

Patients who test positive for anti-HIV antibodies 7. Patients deemed unsuitable to participate in the clinical trial by an investigator based on active infection (HBV, HCV) test results Enrollment Criteria (Visit 2) 1. Persons who have been found to be capable of production in the epitope screening test 2. Patients who have failed standard treatment or conventional chemotherapy and who meet any one of the following 1. Patients who have relapsed/progressed after 1 or more chemotherapies, and for whom standard treatment does not exist or cannot be performed 2. Intolerable patients for whom anticancer treatment cannot be performed or a minimum of one full cycle cannot be completed in a first-line chemotherapy 3. Patients who are refractory to first-line chemotherapy 3. Persons with evaluable lesions 1. Lymphoma: Persons with at least 1 lesion with long axis > 15 mm or 18FDG-PET-CT avid 2. Solid tumor: Persons with at least 1 measurable lesion based on RECIST 1.1 4. Persons with appropriate liver, renal, and bone marrow function (two retests are permitted for borderline results, and corrections such as transfusion are permitted) Exclusion criteria (Visit 2) 1. Where central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma or uncontrolled CNS metastasis is present (patients with brain metastasis that has been treated and is stable [stable for at least 30 days based on radiology records] may be enrolled) 2. Persons who have received surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy in the 3 weeks prior to the investigational product administration 3. Persons who have been administered any other investigational product in the 3 weeks prior to the investigational product administration 4. Persons who have not recovered from the toxicity of any previous treatment to Grade 1 or lower based on NCI CTCAE v5.0 (however, clinically insignificant toxicities such as alopecia are excluded) 5. Patients who have received immunosuppressants, including steroids, in the 10 days prior to blood collection (Visit 2) for production of the study drug (however, local steroids and steroids for inhalers are permitted, and steroid equivalent to 20 mg/day of prednisolone may be administered at the investigator's discretion) 6. Patients with the following (but not limited to) clinically significant cardiovascular comorbidities as determined by the investigator : Uncontrolled hypertension (i.e., systolic pressure > 180 mmHg and/or diastolic pressure > 100 mm/Hg), unstable angina, pulmonary embolism, cerebrovascular disease, valvular disease, congestive heart failure (NYHA severity classification Grade III or IV), or myocardial infarction or serious cardiac arrhythmia within the 24 weeks prior to the enrollment visit 7. Patients with findings of autoimmune or inflammatory disease, whose abnormal results from an autoimmune response test have been deemed clinically significant by an investigator
