China83 participantsStarted 2026-02-01
Plain-language summary
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.

AI-rewrites the medical criteria so a patient or caregiver can understand them. Always confirm with the trial site.
Inclusion Criteria:
* Age ≥18 years.
* Histologically confirmed advanced/metastatic solid tumor that is relapsed/refractory after standard therapy (or no standard therapy available).
* Measurable disease per RECIST v1.1 (or iRECIST if applicable).
* ECOG performance status 0-1 (or 0-2 as allowed).
* Adequate organ function (thresholds modeled on NK protocols):
* Platelets ≥ 75,000/µL; hemoglobin ≥ 9 g/dL; ANC ≥ 1,000/µL (unsupported by growth factors/transfusions as defined).
* eGFR ≥ 60 mL/min/1.73m².
* AST/ALT ≤ 3× ULN.
* Oxygen saturation ≥ 90% on room air (with PFT requirements if indicated).
* LVEF ≥ 40% (by ECHO/MUGA/CMR).
* If brain metastases are present, they must be stable for a defined period (example: ≥3 months) and not requiring escalating steroids.
Exclusion Criteria:
* Pregnant or breastfeeding.
* Any condition requiring systemic immunosuppression (e.g., \>5 mg prednisone/day or equivalent) during dosing window (topical/inhaled may be allowed).
* Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic immunosuppression.
* Uncontrolled bacterial, fungal, or viral infection.
* Receipt of investigational agent within 28 days before first study drug.
* Live vaccine within 6 weeks prior to lymphodepletion.
* Known HIV positivity or active hepatitis B/C with detectable viral load (protocol may allow chronic asymptomatic hepatitis depending on risk plan).
* Known allergy to investigational product components (example: albumin/human or DMSO).
* Any medical/social condition lik…
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
