About this study

Official title: A Phase Ι & IIa, Open-label Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of the Combination Therapy of Allogeneic PB103 and Standard Cancer Treatment in the IIIB/IV or Recurrent Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) Patients

Objectives: To determine the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of allogeneic PB103 in patients with IIIb/IV or refractory non-small-cell lung cancer

Read the detailed description

PB103 is allogeneic NK cells derived from a healthy donor. In this phase I/IIa trial, patients with IIIb/IV and refractory non-small cell lung cancer will be enrolled for testing the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of PB103 (NK cells). For assessment of safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of PB103, three-dose levels of PB103 will be administered to enrolled patients based on the 3+3 dose-escalation design. MTD is defined as one dose level below the dose at which dose-limiting toxicities (DLT) is observed in <33% of the participants. DLT is defined as grade 4 toxicities (hematological toxicities), grade 3 toxicities (non-hematological toxicities), or acute GvHD more than grade 2. Once MTD is determined, 12 patients at MTD dose will be enrolled for assessment of safety and efficacy of PB103 at phase IIa.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing donor-derived NK cell infusion in people with Non-small Cell Lung Cancer, run by Precision Biotech Taiwan Corp. at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 14 inclusion and 20 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Chia Hua Lin, Ph.D. (+886-2-2740-0678, julielin@precisionthera.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

safety of PB103 (time frame: one year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Feb 2025.
