Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This phase I trial is to find out the best dose, possible benefits and/or side effects of third-party natural killer cells in combination with mogamulizumab in treating patients with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma or adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma that has come back (relapsed) or does not respond to treatment (refractory). Immunotherapy with third-party natural killer cells, may induce changes in body's immune system and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Mogamulizumab is a monoclonal antibody that may interfere with the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Giving third-party natural killer cells in combination with mogamulizumab may kill more cancer cells.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To determine safety, tolerability, and determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of IL-21 expanded, off the shelf, third-party natural killer (NK) cells and mogamulizumab in patients with relapsed/refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL) and adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the overall response rate (ORR), progression free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in same patient population treated with IL-21 expanded, off the shelf, third-party NK cells and mogamulizumab.

II. To determine impact of treatment on quality of life (QOL) by skindex-16 score.

CORRELATIVE OBJECTIVES:

I. To study CCR4 expression in lymphoma cells. II. To study serum cytokine levels. III. To study trafficking of third-party NK cells to skin and tissues. IV. To study the persistence of IL-21 expanded, off the shelf, third-party NK cells by chimerism studies.

OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of natural killer cells.

Patients receive mogamulizumab intravenously (IV) over 60 minutes on day -7 and fludarabine IV and cyclophosphamide IV on days -5 to -3. Patients receive NK cell infusion every 2 weeks for six infusions total starting on day 0. Patients then receive mogamulizumab IV over 60 minutes on days 0, 7, 14, and 28, then every 2 weeks thereafter in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 28-35 days and then every 3 months for 2 years.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Able to understand and voluntarily sign an informed consent form
* Age \>= 18 years at the time of signing the informed consent form
* Able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements
* Biopsy-proven, measurable, stage IB-IVB relapsed or refractory cutaneous T-cell lymphoma after 1 prior line of systemic therapy

* Note: extracorporeal photopheresis will be considered a systemic therapy for this study
* Patients with large cell transformation of cutaneous T cell lymphoma are eligible
* Patients with adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATLL) of any stage and any subtypes. Patient must have had at least one standard chemotherapy and measurable disease at the time of enrollment
