New treatment option for Cancer
Official title EBNK-001 Allogeneic NK Cells With Low-Dose IL-15 ± Pembrolizumab in Advanced Solid Tumors
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT07410676
What this study is testing
What is EBNK-001 + IL-15 + Pembrolizumab?
EBNK-001 + IL-15 + Pembrolizumab is an investigational medicine, given as an once-weekly infusion into a vein, being studied as a potential treatment for cancer.
Also referred to as Pembrolizumab, IL-15.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- This Phase 1/2 study evaluates the safety, tolerability, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of EBNK-001 (allogeneic NK cells) given after lymphodepleting cyclophosphamide/fludarabine (CY/FLU) and supported with low-dose IL-15, administered either alone or in combination with pembrolizumab in adults with advanced/metastatic solid tumors. The study will determine a recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D) and explore signals of clinical activity using RECIST-based response criteria.
