摘要

Background

SAR445419 is an investigational, off-the-shelf, allogeneic NK cell therapy derived from donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells and expanded ex vivo using PM21 particles.

Methods

This multicenter, Phase 1, dose-escalation study (NCT05712278) evaluated optimal dose(s), safety, and tolerability of SAR445419 in adults (aged ≥ 18 years) with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukemia (R/R AML). Following lymphodepleting chemotherapy (fludarabine 30 mg/m2/day and cytarabine 2 g/m2/day for 5 days), participants received six intravenous SAR445419 (1 × 109 and 3 × 109 NK cells/dose) doses, starting with the lower dose. The primary endpoint was the incidence of dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs), and key secondary endpoints included adverse events (AEs), hematological recovery, hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and response rate.

Results

Of the 12 planned participants, 7 patients were enrolled, of whom 6 received SAR445419 before sponsor decided early study termination for reasons unrelated to safety or efficacy. No DLTs were observed. All participants experienced treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs); six had grade ≥ 3 TEAEs; and four had serious adverse events (SAEs). Two SAR445419-related SAEs (infusion-related reactions: both grade 2) were managed with supportive care. All participants experienced grade 3 anemia and grade 4 thrombocytopenia and neutropenia. Five deaths were reported, all due to disease progression, none related to SAR445419. No clinical responses were observed.

Conclusions

This study demonstrated the overall safety of off-the-shelf ex vivo expanded allogeneic NK cells in patients with R/R AML. The successful manufacturing and distribution support the feasibility of donor-derived off-the-shelf NK cells in a clinical setting. Further investigations are required to improve the clinical efficiency of NK cells.
