Development Overview

Introduction

Nogapendekin alfa inbakicept (ALT 803) is a recombinant interleukin-15 (IL-15) super agonist protein complex, being developed by Altor BioScience Corporation (an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of ImmunityBio) for the treatment of multiple cancer types including bladder cancer, breast cancer, non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, acute myeloid leukaemia, myelodysplastic syndromes, cervical cancer, colorectal cancer, ovarian cancer, liver cancer, malignant melanoma, urogenital cancer, renal cell carcinoma, pancreatic cancer, advanced solid tumours, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, Lynch syndrome [hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer in the development table], head and neck squamous cell carcinoma [squamous cell cancer in the development table], and HIV infections. Nogapendekin alfa inbakicept is a novel IL-15 superagonist complex consisting of an IL-15 mutant (IL-15N72D) bound to an IL-15 receptor alpha-IgG1 Fc (IL-15Rα-IgG1 Fc) fusion protein. The cytokine IL-15 is a critical factor for the development, proliferation and activation of cellular immune responses that are involved in killing cancer cells. Binding of nogapendekin alfa inbakicept to its receptor results in proliferation and activation of NK, CD4, CD8+ and memory T cells without proliferation of immuno-suppressive Treg cells, leading to durable complete responses. It shows improved pharmacokinetic properties, longer persistence in lymphoid tissues and enhanced anti-tumour activity compared to native, non-complexed IL-15 in vivo. The candidate is approved for bladder cancer in the US. Clinical development for multiple cancer indications is underway in the US. Clinical development for HIV infections is underway in the US and Thailand.

As at August 2023, no recent reports of development had been identified for phase-I development in Solid tumours (Inoperable/Unresectable, Late-stage disease, Metastatic disease) and HIV-infections (Adjunctive treatment) in USA (SC, Injection).

In March 2021, NantKwest merged with ImmunityBio to form ImmunityBio [1] .

Company Agreements

In August 2020, ImmunityBio & NantKwest signed a definitive research and development agreement to jointly develop, manufacture, market, and commercialise therapeutics and vaccines for COVID-2019 infections. Under the terms of the definitive agreement, both the companies will share equally the costs incurred after 21 August 2020 relating to development, manufacturing, marketing, and commercialisation of the candidates that each is developing related to COVID-19. Should a product be commercialized successfully, the net global profits would be split 60-40%, with the larger share going to the company that developed the product. The agreement also detailed the structure of shared governance of the joint collaboration. Earlier in May 2020, the companies signed a binding term sheet for the joint development, manufacture and marketing of vaccines and therapeutics. Both the companies would jointly develop haNK, mesenchymal stem cells (MSC), adenovirus constructs (Ad5), and N 803 for the prevention and treatment of SAR-CoV-2 viral infections and associated conditions, including COVID-19. NantKwest would contribute the haNK, MSC, and certain of its manufacturing capabilities, and ImmunityBio will contribute Ad5, IL-15, and certain manufacturing equipment. Under the terms of the agreement, All net profits from sales of combined collaboration products will be shared equally. This collaboration will be supervised by joint committees, comprised of an equal number of representatives from both companies. In October 2016, Altor Bioscience signed an exclusive co-development agreement with NantKwest for the development of immunotherapies using latter's natural killer cell therapy and Altor BioScience's ALT 801 and nogapendekin alfa inbakicept for the treatment of cancer.

Scientific Summary

Pharmacokinetics

Haematological malignancies

Phase I/II

Results of the first-in-human, open-label, dose escalation, phase I/II trial in patients (n = 33) with haematological malignancies, who have relapsed 60 days after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation demonstrated distinct pharmacokinetic profiles following nogapendekin alfa inbakicept (ALT 803) intravenous (IV) versus subcutaneous (SC) administration, and a longer half-life in SC (10 mcg/kg: T1/2 29.3+10.3 hours) versus IV (10 mcg/kg: T-1/2 mean 4.87+3.46 hours) [119] [118] [151] .

Phase I

Treatment with nogapendekin alfa inbakicept subcutaneous injection, showed good pharmacokinetics, in healthy volunteers (n=20), in the phase I QUILT-1.004 trial. Serum nogapendekin alfa inbakicept concentrations peaked 10.3-15.4 hours after administration and declined with a half-life of 20.0-20.7 hours. Peak nogapendekin alfa inbakicept serum concentrations were dose-dependent, with a 1.5-fold increase in Cmax after administration of 20 µg/kg vs 10 µg/kg. In the peripheral blood, nogapendekin alfa inbakicept induced a transient decline. nogapendekin alfa inbakicept administration also increased serum levels of interferon gamma, IL-10, and IL-6 [137] [138] .

Adverse Events

Bladder cancer:

Phase II/III

In phase II/III QUILT-3.032 trial, safety profile was comparable to BCG alone. Most adverse events for patients receiving BCG plus NAI were grade 1 to 2 (86%) and comparable to adverse events associated with BCG alone [28] . Updated results from the phase II/III QUILT-3.032 trial, indicated Excellent safety and tolerability profile. Low grade treatment related AEs (grade 1-2) include dysuria (22%), pollakiurua (19%), hematuria (18%), fatigue (16%), and urgency (12%), all other AEs were seen at 7% or less. No treatment related grade 4 or 5 AE were seen. No serious adverse events (SAEs) were considered treatment related. No immune related SAEs were observed [27] . Previously, 0% treatment-related SAEs, immune-related AE and grade 4 and 5 AE were observed in Cohort A and B [25] . The safety profile of nogapendekin alfa inbakicept in Cohort B was consistent with that seen in Cohort A, in which 0% SAEs, including 0% immune-related SAEs, were detected. In a phase II/III QUILT-3.032 trial, treatment with nogapendekin alfa inbakicept was safe and well tolerated. No patients reported treatment emergent serious adverse events, immune-related AEs or grade 4 or 5 treatment-related AEs. In earlier results, three serious adverse events (AEs) were reported (E. coli infection, anemia, and bacteraemia). In cohort A, Low grade treatment related AEs include dysuria, hematuria, and pollakiurua (all 16%), urgency (14%), and bladder spasm (8%), all other AEs were seen at 6% or less. A total of 9 subjects experienced at least 1 treatment emergent SAE (Severe Adverse event), the SAE rate is 1% for any given AE [150] [150] [18] [23] [21] [20] [24] .

Pancreatic cancer

Phase II

Updated results from the follow up study of the phase II QUILT-88 trial showed that aldoxorubicin was well tolerated with mainly low grade AEs [fatigue, chills, injection site reaction ( > 50%)]. Treatment related grade ≥3 mainly associated with chemotherapy without prophylactic growth factors, anemia 46%, neutropenia 23%, thrombocytopenia 12%, all others < 10%. Patients with at least 1 treatment related SAE were 6%; edema, pyrexia, anemia, atrial flutter. No treatment related deaths [89] . In interim results (N=63) from the trial in pancreatic cancer studying Nant Cancer Vaccine, comprising anktiva, PD-L1 t-haNK, and aldoxorubicin showed that treatment-related serious adverse events were uncommon (8%) and no treatment-related deaths were reported [88] [83] .

Merkel cell carcinoma

Phase II

Administration of ALT 803 in combination with aNK cell infusion in the phase II QUILT-3.009 trial was found to be generally safe and well tolerated, with no treatment-related serious adverse events or grade =3 adverse events reported. There were no reports of immune related adverse events [63] [66]

Cancer

Phase II

In preliminary data from the QUILT 3.055 phase II trial in 121 patients with checkpoint relapse multiple tumour types - non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, urothelial carcinoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, renal, gastric, and cervical cancer- nogapendekin alfa inbakicept in combination with checkpoint therapy was well tolerated with grade 1-2 common treatment related adverse events (TRAE) were injection site reaction (68%), chills (32%) fatigue (26%), flu-like illness (14%); pyrexia and nausea ere reported similar to previous results. No other individual AE > 10%. Grade 3 N-803 TRAE were 12% but no individual grade 3 AEs were greater than 5%. Previous preliminary results showed that nogapendekin alfa inbakicept in combination with checkpoint therapy exhibited a favorable toxicity profile in combination with several different checkpoint inhibitors in second-line or greater settings, across a variety of tumor types. Adverse events, 12% of which were grade 3 or above, that were related to the chemotherapy-free combination regimen were favourable to the historical standard of care comprising combination therapies that include chemotherapy. Treatment-related serious adverse events (SAEs) were seen in 8% of study participants. In the phase II QUILT-3.055 trial in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, the combination regimen of nogapendekin alfa nogapendekin alfa inbakicept was combined with the pembrolizumab or nivolumab was well tolerated, with low incidence of treatment-related severe adverse events in second- and third-line NSCLC patients who had progressed on checkpoint inhibitor therapy at the time of study enrolment. Among 78 participants, nine (12%) exhibited grade 3 or higher treatment-emergent adverse events (AEs). Common low-grade AEs observed included injection site reactions (72%), chills (30%), fatigue (27%), fever (26%) and nausea (12%) [111] [110] [75] [109] .

Triple negative breast cancer

Phase I/II

The results from the QUILT-3.067 phase I/II trial for combination chemoradiation, cytokine fusion protein, NK cell therapy, and a checkpoint inhibitor showed that all nine treated patients had at least 1 grade ≥3 TRAE, primarily chemotherapy-related neutropenia or anemia. Grade ≥3 haNK-related AEs (fever and fatigue) were observed in 2 subjects. No SAEs were attributed to investigational agents. No cytokine release syndrome was observed [45] . The results from the QUILT-3.067 phase I/II trial showed that the metronomic combinationation therapy exhibits a manageable safety profile. All the patients in the trial experienced at least 1 grade 3 treatment related adverse event. Neutropenia was the primary chemotherapy related AE. Two patients experienced grade 3 haNK related AEs like fever and fatigue. Serious adverse events (SAEs) were observed in 2 patients, 7 patients survived, 6 patients are undergoing the study treatment [36] [37] .

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma:

Phase I/II

In a phase I/II study nogapendekin alfa inbakicept in combination with rituxan was reported to be well tolerated in patients with NHL with a single reported grade 4 adverse event (AEs) and no reported grade 5 AEs [125] [124] .

Pancreatic cancer

Phase I/II

The results from the QUILT-3.080 phase I/II trial showed that the primarily observed haematologic adverse events could be managed by the planned chemotherapy dose reduction. Among the 12 patients, 9 experienced grade 3 treatment related adverse events (TRAEs), predominately chemotherapy-related neutropenia [92] [36] [93] .

Haematological malignancies

Phase I/II

Results of the first-in-human, open-label, dose escalation, phase I/II trial in patients (n = 33) with haematological malignancies, who have relapsed 60 days after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation demonstrated that nogapendekin alfa inbakicept (ALT 803) was well tolerated in both the intravenous (IV) (n = 16), and subcutaneous (SC) (n = 17) cohorts, with no dose-limiting toxicities (DLTs) observed. The most common adverse events (AEs) were constitutional symptoms. In the ALT 803 SC cohort, injection site rash occurred frequently, which were self-limiting and showed a variable degree of CD8+, CD4+ T cells and NK cells on biopsies. None of the patients developed cytokine release or capillary leak syndromes. No new onset of severe graft versus host disease (GVHD) or clinical progression of prior GVHD was reported. Grade 4 or 5 severe AEs reported in three patients were sepsis (n = 2) and an intracranial haemorrhage [119] [118] [151] .

Bladder cancer

Phase I/II

In a phase Ib/II trial, adverse events (AEs) consistent with standard-of-care BCG treatment such as haematuria and urinary tract pain, were reported across all cohorts, with 9, 4 and 1 AEs observed in the 100µg, 200µg and 400µg dosage cohorts, respectively. In the 400μg cohort, a urinary tract infection that required a delay of intravesical treatment by one week, was developed by one patient. No grade III/IV toxicities and dose-limiting toxicities were observed in the patients [29] [30] .

Non-small cell lung cancer

Phase I/II

In a phase Ib/II trial, nogapendekin alfa inbakicept (ALT 803), in combination with nivolumab, was found to be safe in patients (n = 38) with NSCLC. Dose-limiting toxicities were not observed. Injection site reactions and flu-like symptoms were common adverse events. The most common grade 3 adverse event, occurring in two patients each, was lymphocytopenia and fatigue. A grade 3 myocardial infarction occurred in one patient. Grade 4 or 5 toxicity was not observed. Recommended phase II dose of ALT 803 was weekly subcutaneous 20 mcg/kg in combination with intravenous nivolumab 240mg every two weeks. The open-label trial is designed to enrol approximately 91 patients [79] [80] .

Prostate cancer

Phase I/II

Preliminary results of a phase I/II QuEST1 study in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) demonstrated that combination of nogapendekin alfa inbakicept (N 803), BN-brachyury (BNVax) and bintrafusp alfa (BA) was safe and well-tolerated. There were no dose limiting toxicities or grade >3 treatment-related adverse events (TRAEs). Grade 3 TRAEs included one pancreatitis in Arm 2.1 (BNVax plus BA), one secondary adrenal insufficiency (Arm 2.1), and one hyperglycemia due to new onset diabetes mellitus in Arm 2.2 (BNVax plus BA plus N 803). The data is from 22 CRPC patients with 3 to 17 months follow up [121] [120] .

HIV-1 infections

Phase I

In a proof-of-principle, dose-escalating phase I trial, nogapendekin alfa inbakicept was safe and well-tolerated, in patients with HIV-1 infection. First two participants received 0.3 mcg/kg IV and the remaining five received 1.0 mcg/kg SQ of ALT 803. SQ dosing was associated with an injection site rash and adenopathy. Eight of the first 13 doses were associated with transient low-level plasma viraemia [53] [52] . The primary clinical adverse events (AEs) reported were an injection site rash and adenopathy and four participants experienced a grade 1 or 2 QTc prolongation, which was deemed unrelated to the N 803 administration. There were no significant laboratory AEs attributable to N 803 [54] .

Squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck

Phase I

In a phase I trial, treatment with combination of ipilimumab and nogapendekin alfa inbakicept demonstrated one dose limiting toxicity at dose level 0, in patients with squamous cell carcinoma. Patients reported grade 3-4 haematologic adverse events (6/6, 100%). One patient died of G5 febrile neutropenia and infection. Median days hospitalized: 14 (range: 9-37). Mild cytokine release syndrome was observed in 5/6 (83%) (median peak ferritin: 2248, CRP: 168); 3/5 required anti-IL6 therapy; no neurotoxicity was noted. There were no dose adjustments or discontinuation of therapy [105] [104] .

Phase I

Treatment with nogapendekin alfa inbakicept subcutaneous injection, was safe and generally well tolerated in healthy volunteers (n=20), in the phase I QUILT-1.004 trial. Nogapendekin alfa inbakicept resulted in no grade ≥3 or serious adverse events (AEs). Mild injection site reactions, chills, and pyrexia were the most common AEs [137] [138] .

Pharmacodynamics

Summary

Haematological malignancies

Phase I/II

Results of the first-in-human, open-label, dose escalation, phase I/II trial of nogapendekin alfa inbakicept (ALT 803) in patients (n = 33) with haematological malignancies, who have relapsed 60 days after allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation demonstrated a marked induction of Ki67+ NK cells peaking at day 5 post-injection, with significantly longer persistence of Ki67+ via the subcutaneous (SC) route (10 mcg/kg, IV: 32%, SQ 70%, p = 0.002). Increased NK cell percentages and absolute numbers were observed. Ki67 was induced within CD8+ T cells, but to a lesser degree than in the NK cells. Minimal induction of Ki67 was observed within CD4+ T cells. Mass cytometry of the NK cell compartment demonstrated viSNE clustering of 37 different NK cell markers showed marked alteration of the NK cell compartment after ALT 803 dosing (n = 4; 10 mcg/kg SC). There were minimal changes in KIR and NKG2A expression on NK cells, but consistent upregulation of the receptors NKG2D, NKp30, and TIM-3 in vivo. There was more inter-patient variability with other receptors, with LAG-3 and DNAM-1 each markedly upregulated in one out of four patients evaluated [119] [118] [151] .

Triple negative breast cancer

Phase I/II

The results from the QUILT-3.067 phase I/II trial that assessed the utility of cell-free circulating RNA (cfRNA) as a predictor of treatment response showed that increasing and decreasing cfRNA levels are correlated with increasing and decreasing tumor size, respectively. The average PD-L1 expression and variability of the 18 genes exhibited a correlation with tumor size change from baseline (p-values = 0.08 and 0.03, respectively). Only trace levels of PD-L1 expression were observed in all 6 patients at baseline, prior to the initiation of the combination immunotherapy. Among the 5 patients that showed a reduction in tumor size of at least 10%, 4 also showed an associated increase in cfRNA PD-L1 expression from nearly 0 to normalized values between 2.1 and 6.8 [36] [37] .

Treatment with nogapendekin alfa inbakicept subcutaneous injection caused a significant proliferation of NK (22-fold increase in Ki-67+ cells), CD8+ (27-fold) and CD4+ T (11-fold) cells, in healthy volunteers (n=20), in the phase I QUILT-1.004 trial. It significantly increased (3-fold) NK cell number that persisted for ≥24 days. However, increased cell number occurred only in NK cells [137] [138] .

In preclinical study, nogapendekin alfa inbakicept induced HPC-NK cell proliferation in a dose-dependent manner, increased IFN production in CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor-derived NK cells (HPC-NK) stimulated with leukemia cells lines and improved the killing of primary AML samples from patients. Nogapendekin alfa inbakicept demonstrated improvement in tumour killing Further an increase in the CXCL10 production and improvement in long-term HPC-NK cell-mediated killing was reported in ovarian cancer model [139] .

In a proof-of-principle, dose-escalating phase I trial, in patients with HIV-1 infection, nogapendekin alfa inbakicept (ALT 803) led to a 7.6-fold increase in NK cell activation, a 23-fold increase in CD4 activation and a 10-fold increase in CD8 T cell activation in LN 48 hours after dosing. EDITS assay (Envelope Detection by Induced Transcription-based Sequencing) was used to measure inducible cell-associated HIV RNA. Prior to Con A stimulation a significant increase in HIV transcription was seen after the first 2 ALT-803 doses but after dose 3 there were fewer transcription events. With ConA stimulation there was a trend towards decreasing transcription events. The results indicated that drug caused activation and proliferation of CD4, CD8 T cells and NK cells and induced transcription of HIV. These studies suggested that ALT 803 reactivated virus from latency and activated NK and T cells. Results were drawn from seven patients enrolled in the trial [53] [52] .

Preclinical pharmacodynamics data for nogapendekin alfa inbakicept (ALT 803) in HIV infections in studies with rhesus macaques (RM) showed that in both studies, blood NK cells showed peak activation at 48h post ALT 803 administration throughout the dosing period. Memory T cells were preferentially activated by ALT 803, and CD8+ T cells demonstrated more robust expansion during the dosing period. No immune activation of PBMC was associated with bNAb treatment. We observed no change in integrated SHIV DNA between pre- and post- treatment timepoints in either PBMC or LN tissues. Plasma viral rebound kinetics in RMs treated with either ALT 803 alone, or in combination, were comparable to the control group after ART discontinuation. However, 3 of 5 combination treated RMs showed durable control of viremia after initial low-level rebound. Combination-treated (ALT 803 /bNAbs) RMs exhibited durable control of viremia beyond week 25 following initial low-level rebound. Nogapendekin alfa inbakicept plus one or two anti-HIV broadly neutralizing antibodies, suppressed simian/human immunodeficiency virus replication in 9 of 13 animals evaluated [46] [58] .

The results from the preclinical study in HIV infections demonstrated that the combined use of nogapendekin alfa inbakicept and broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) resulted in sustained control of viral replication after the cessation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in rhesus macaques infected with simian-human immunodeficiency virus AD8 (SHIV-AD8). While treatment with nogapendekin alfa inbakicept and bNAbs triggered immune activation and temporary presence of the virus in the bloodstream, there were only minor reductions observed in the SHIV reservoir. Following the discontinuation of ART, all animals experienced a resurgence of the virus, but around 70% of those treated with nogapendekin alfa inbakicept and bNAbs exhibited long-term control of the infection for up to 10 months [56] .

Results from preclinical studies conducted in SIV-infected ART-treated rhesus macaques, for nogapendekin alfa inbakicept alone did not reactivate virus production. However, when given to CD8-depleted rhesus macaques, it resulted in loss of virus suppression (>60 copies/ml) in 14/14 animals (100%) in 41/56 samples (73.2%) collected 1 week after each dose. In addition, viremia >1,000 copies/ml was observed in 6/14 animals (42.9%) and 13/56 (23.2%) time points, with a maximum of 21,000 SIVgag copies/mL. Preliminary virus sequence analysis indicated a diverse range of circulating virus after CD8 depletion and ALT 803 treatment [57] .

Therapeutic Trials

Merkel cell carcinoma

Phase II

: In the phase II QUILT-3.009 trial, administration of ALT 803 in combination with aNK cell infusion demonstrated an overall response rate of 29%(2/7). An increase in levels of tumour-infiltrating lymphocytes and increased immune response-related gene expression within tumour tissue was observed when treated with aNK cell therapy [63] [66] .

Pancreatic cancer:

Phase II

Updated results from the phase II QUILT-88 trial in pancreatic cancer the median overall survival (OS) in this highly advanced group of patients, up to seven lines (N=83) of treatment, was 5.8 months (95% CI: 4.9, 6.4 months), exceeding the approximately 2- to 3-month historical median OS. In the third-line setting (N=41), the median OS in this group was 6.3 months (95% CI: 5.0, 7.2 months), more than doubling the historical OS. The baseline median CA 19-9 level (a marker of metastatic pancreatic disease) of the enrolled subjects (N=83) was very high at 4120 IU/ml, a significant increase from normal levels of 40 IU/ml. In subjects with CA 19-9 levels less than 4120 IU/ml (N=40), the median OS was 6.9 months (95% CI: 5.7,10.9) [90] In interim results (N=63) from the phase II QUILT-88 trial in pancreatic cancer studying Nant Cancer Vaccine, comprising anktiva, PD-L1 t-haNK, and aldoxorubicin, overall survival rate for patients doubled compared to historical survival rate of three months after two prior lines of therapy. To date, 27% of third-line or greater patients (17/63) remain on study. The median overall survival in this highly advanced group of patients, who failed two to six prior lines of treatment, is 5.8 months (95% CI: 3.9, 6.9 months) exceeding the approximately three-month historical median overall survival. Of the 63 patients, 30 (48%) had progressed after two prior lines of therapy. Median overall survival in this group was 6.3 months (95% CI: 5.0, 9.8 months), more than doubling the historical overall survival [88] . In pivotal QUILT 88 phase II trial, majority of participants in the study to date remained on therapy and 90% (43/48) of the evaluable patients have exceeded the approximately two-month historical survival rate. Of the 48 evaluable patients, 23 (48%) had extremely advanced disease upon enrollment (i.e. had progressed after three to six prior lines of therapy) and, of these patients, 20 out of 23 (87%) have exceeded historical survival rates. Interim results from cohort C of pivotal QUILT 88 phase II trial based on combination immunotherapy in which 15 out of 18 (83%) patients enrolled with second-line or greater pancreatic cancer remained alive to date [85] [87] [83]

Cancer

Phase II

Updated data from the QUILT 3.055 phase II trial of nogapendekin alfa inbakicept in combination with checkpoint therapy in 147 patients with checkpoint relapse multiple tumour types, non-small cell lung cancer, small cell lung cancer, urothelial carcinoma, head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, melanoma, renal, gastric, and cervical cancer demonstrated that addition of nogapendekin alfa inbakicept resulted in the rescue of the checkpoint therapy efficacy, with significant prolongation of overall survival [70] . Previously, preliminary data showed CR 0%, PR 8%, Stable Disease 51%, Progression 29%, response unevaluable 12% to date. A PR or SD was seen in all subgroups. Median PFS 3.9 months (95% CI: 2.6,5.0). Median OS 13.8 months (95% CI: 11.8, 16.3). Previous preliminary results from 121 patients showed 68% (82 out of 121) disease control (partial response and stable disease >6 weeks). Combination regimens that included nogapendekin alfa inbakicept demonstrated clinical benefit in the majority of subjects, with cessation of progression, prolonged stable disease, and occasional partial responses per RECIST were observed in different tumor types. In the phase II QUILT-3.055 trial, clinical benefit was demonstrated in a majority of the non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, as measured by reduction of target lesion size and cessation of progression in the target lesion over time (with follow-up of up to 13 months). Clinical benefit was observed in patients with immediate prior progression on checkpoint inhibitors when nogapendekin alfa inbakicept was combined with the pembrolizumab or nivolumab, regardless of PD-L1 status or use of chemotherapy with checkpoint inhibitors [111] [110] [75] [109] .

Bladder cancer

Phase I/II

In a phase Ib/II trial, 100% patients (9/9) were disease-free and showed a complete response (CR) at week 12, six, nine and 12 months, respectively at dosages of 100µg, 200µg and 400µg [29] [30] .

Triple negative breast cancer

Phase I/II

In the phase Ib/II QUILT-3.067 trial, 78% disease control rate, 56% overall response rate (ORR) and 22% (2/9) complete response (CR) in patients with metastatic TNBC was observed for combination chemoradiation, cytokine fusion protein, NK cell therapy, and a checkpoint inhibitor. Disease control rate (CR+PR+SD) of 78% (7/9 pts); ORR (PR+CR) of 56% (5/9 pts). Two patients (22%; 2/9) achieved a complete response (CR). Also, seven patients were alive, and the duration of response ranged from 2 -12 months. For CR or PR, peripheral blood (PB) analysis showed >13x increase in TCR diversity at 2 months after initial treatment with increasing overall diversity thereafter; conversely, in patients with SD, PB TCR diversity increased <2x or decreased. Four patients remain on study [45] . The earlier results showed that one patient experienced complete response, two patients experienced partial response and 78% disease control rate were observed after the study treatment [149] [36] [37] .

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma:

Phase I/II

Results from phase I part of a phase I/II study showed that nogapendekin alfa inbakicept demonstrated an overall response rate (ORR) of 78% (7 out of 9 patients) in the SQ cohort, along with a 100% complete remissions (CR) in patients (7 out of 7) with anti-CD20 mAb sensitive NHL. Prolonged stable disease (SD) and conversion of SD and/or partial response (PR) to CRs with a prolonged duration without progression were observed, in 8 of 12 patients without progression at 18-24 months. For the patients (n=5) with anti-CD20 mAb refractory disease in both IV and SQ cohorts, the ORR was 40% (2 out of 5) with 1 CR, 1 PR, 1 SD, and 2 progressive disease (PD), with the PR and SD are ongoing at over 18 months. In correlative immunology experiments, nogapendekin alfa inbakicept in combination with rituxan induced the expansion, activation and modulation of NK cells and CD8+ T cells, with minimal impact on CD4+ T cells and Tregs. Multi-dimensional mass cytometry studies demonstrated remodeling of iNHL patient immune landscapes by promotion of an activation signature approximately in all immune cell lineages including NK cells, CD8+ TEM, gd T cells, and CD14 and CD16 monocytes [125] [124] .

Pancreatic cancer

Phase I/II

The results from the QUILT-3.080 phase I/II trial showed that among 12 patients, 9 (75 %) experienced stable disease in a span of 8 weeks. The median progression free survival was 7.1 months (4.4 - 8.8) and the median overall survival was 8.2 months (5.7 - 9.7), with 1 patient continuing the treatment [92] [36] [93] .

Prostate cancer:

Phase I/II

Preliminary results of a phase I/II QuEST1 study in castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) demonstrated that addition of N 803 to BN-brachyury (BNVax) plus bintrafusp alfa (BA) was associated with more activity. In BNVax plus BA (Arm 2.1), 1/13 (7.8%) patients had a PSA response sustained for 13 months. Out of three patients with measurable disease by RECIST, zero patients had complete response and partial response (PR), one had stable disease and two had progressive disease. In BNVax plus BA plus N 803 (Arm 2.2) 4/9 (44%) patients had sustained PSA responses; two of these patients had confirmed PR, including one patient who progressed on abiraterone and enzalutamide. Out of three patients with measurable disease by RECIST, zero patients had complete response, one patient had stable disease and zero patients had progressive disease. Arm 2.2 met the predetermined threshold for efficacy. The data is from 22 CRPC patients with 3 to 17 months follow up [121] [120] .

Squamous cell carcinoma of head and neck

Phase I

In a phase I trial, treatment with allogeneic cytokine-induced memory-like natural killer cells with nogapendekin alfa inbakicept demonstrated that it may induce tumor regression in advanced head-and-neck cancer patients. The results showed tumor regression associated with the expansion of CD56dimCD16+ NK cells, which have cytolytic activity and can target and kill tumor cells. Notably, some patients showed tumor regression despite being heavily pre-treated, indicating the potential of this live cell therapy approach [106] . In a phase I trial, treatment with the combination therapy of ipilimumab and nogapendekin alfa inbakicept showed one (17%) partial response (PR) lasting 6.5 months; four (67%) pts had stable disease (SD), and one (17%) had progression. Tumour regression was reported in 3/6 (50%) pts at day +30. At a median follow-up of 9.5 months, median PFS was 3.4 months (95% CI 2.6-6.5), median OS was 4.7 months (95%CI 3.4-11.8). CIML NK cells showed large expansion in the peripheral blood (PB) at day +7 in all pts mean increase was reported to be 66% (6-fold; standard deviation [SD] 10.5), to constitute 80% (SD 12.1) of PB lymphocytes. In pts with tumour regression at day +30 compared to those without, the % of PB NK cells remained high at day +28 (mean: 78 vs. 11%). PB NK cells remained >50% at day +42 in the pt with a PR [105] [104] .

Bladder cancer

Phase II/III

In phase II/III QUILT-3.032 trial, BCG plus nogapendekin alfa inbakicept met its primary endpoint in high-risk carcinoma in situ (CIS) cohort and in papillary non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) cohort. BCG plus nogapendekin alfa inbakicept (referred to as NAI) demonstrated complete responses (CRs) with a persistence of effect with 90% probability of avoiding cystectomies in responders, a life-changing procedure of removing the bladder, and 100% bladder cancer-specific survival at 24 months. The combination of nogapendekin alfa inbakicept plus BCG produced both a higher CR rate and more durable responses. In patients who received intravesical nogapendekin alfa inbakicept plus BCG (cohort A), a CR was achieved in 58 (71%) of 82 patients (95% confidence interval [CI]=59.6 to 80.3; median follow-up, 23.9 months), with a median duration of 26.6 months 95% CI 59.9 months to [upper bound not reached]). At 24 months in patients with CR, the Kaplan–Meier–estimated probability of avoiding cystectomy and of disease-specific survival was 89.2% and 100%, respectively. In patients with BCG-unresponsive high-grade Ta/T1 papillary NMIBC who received nogapendekin alfa inbakicept plus BCG (cohort B), the Kaplan–Meier–estimated disease-free survival (DFS) rate was 55.4% (95% CI=42.0% to 66.8%) at 12 months, with median DFS of 19.3 months (95% CI=7.4 months to [upper bound not reached]) [28] . In updated results from a phase II/III QUILT-3.032 trial demonstrated that carcinoma in situ (CIS) patients had a complete response (CR) rate of 71% (59/83), with a mediation duration of CR of 24.1 months in responders, 91% avoided cystectomy and 96% 24 month bladder cancer specific progression free survival. Papillary patients had a 57% 12 month DFS rate, 48% 24 month disease-free rate (DFS) rate and 95% avoided cystectomy. Median time to cystectomy in responders (N = 4) is 12.9 months versus 7.8 in non-responders (N = 8) for a 5.1 month delay in cystectomy [27] . Previously, complete response rates in patients with BCG-unresponsive non-muscle invasive carcinoma in situ (NMIBC CIS) bladder cancer (Cohort A) and with papillary disease (Cohort B) was observed. Of the 83 patients with BCG-unresponsive NMIBC CIS, 59 (71%) had a complete response with a median duration of response of 26.6 months—exceeding historical complete response rates of 41% and 18% for FDA-approved therapies pembrolizumab and valrubicin, respectively. In the papillary disease arm of the study (Cohort B), 57% of patients are disease free at 12 months and 53% at 18 months. In Cohort A nogapendekin alfa inbakicept demonstrated 1 Months median durable complete remission. 96% Avoidance of bladder cancer progression at 24 months in responders .91% Avoidance of cystectomy at 24 months in responders. 100% Bladder cancer specific overall survival at 24 months . In Cohort B 57% Disease free survival rate at 12 months was observed. 99% Overall bladder cancer specific survival and 95% Cystectomy avoidance rate was demonstrated [25] . The second indication of its study of intravesical BCG plus nogapendekin alfa inbakicept in patients with BCG-unresponsive high-grade NMIBC, met its primary endpoints with disease-free survival of 57% of patients at 12 months. The primary endpoint was met with a disease-free rate at 12-months of 57% (95% CI: 43.7%, 68.5%) and at 18-months, 53% (95% CI: 38.8%, 64.6%) by Kaplan-Meier analysis. Durable responses were noted in both cohorts and the therapy resulted in significant avoidance of cystectomy. In previous results from a phase II/III QUILT-3.032 trial, Fifty-eight percent (58%) of patients with CR had a DOR ≥ 12 months and 40% had a DOR ≥ 24 months. The CR rate for the 77 evaluable patients was 62% with the upper end of the confidence interval being 73%. The duration of complete response at cut-off was more than 47 months. Treatment with nogapendekin alfa inbakicept met its primary end point in the first cohort (Cohort A) for BCG unresponsive non-muscle invasive bladder cancer carcinoma in situ (CIS) with 72% complete response rate. The data showed 58 out of 81 evaluable patients (72%) had a complete response at any time (three to six months) to intravesical BCG plus nogapendekin alfa inbakicept (Anktiva). A median duration of complete response of 19.9 months. The probability to maintain a CR for more than 12 months in the responding patients were 59% (95% confidence interval; 43.1%, 71.2%). For the patients who had a CR within the first three months, the CR rate was 77%, and with probability of remaining disease free at 18 months of 61% [150] [18] [23] [20] [21] [24] .

Non-small cell lung cancer

Phase I/II

In the phase Ib part of a phase Ib/II trial, treatment with ALT 803, in combination with nivolumab, resulted in the disease control rate of 91% (10 of 11 patients), with 27% (3 patients) partial responses and 64% (7 patients) stable disease was observed in PD1 immunotherapy relapsed or refractory NSCLC. Among 10 patients with PD-L1 negative tumours, the disease control rate was 70% and partial response rate was 30%. The open-label trial is designed to enrol approximately 91 patients [79] [80] .

HIV-1 infections

Phase I

Results from phase I trial demonstrated the activation of CD4+ and CD8+ T cells and natural killer (NK) cells in people living with HIV by ImmunityBio’s IL-15 superagonist N 803. It stimulates latent HIV replication (the “kick”) in CD4 memory cells allowing the previously hidden infected cells to be revealed and eliminated (the “kill”) by CD8 and NK cells. IFN, IP10, MCP-1, and IL-15 increased during treatment. HIV transcription in memory CD4 T cells and intact proviral DNA initially increased after N-803 treatment and there was a small but significant decrease in the frequency of PBMCs with an inducible HIV provirus that persisted for up to six months post therapy [54] [52]
