ImmunityBio Launches Phase 2 Trial of Chemotherapy-Free CAR-NK Cell Therapy for Indolent Lymphomas

ImmunityBio, Inc. has announced the launch of ResQ215B, a Phase 2 clinical study evaluating a novel, chemotherapy-free and lymphodepletion-free combination immunotherapy for patients with indolent B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL), including Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia. The outpatient trial investigates the use of ImmunityBio's off-the-shelf CD19-targeted high-affinity natural killer (NK) cell therapy (CD19 t-haNK) in combination with nogapendekin-alfa inbakicept (ANKTIVA®), an IL-15 superagonist, and the anti-CD20 monoclonal antibody rituximab. The regimen does not require lymphodepleting chemotherapy or inpatient hospitalization. Initial results from a chemotherapy-free cohort in Waldenström's Macroglobulinemia have been reported, with all four patients achieving clinical disease control. Two patients had complete remissions lasting at least 7 and 15 months, while the other two achieved stable disease. Further evaluation of the combination with ANKTIVA will be conducted in the ongoing Phase 2 study.
