Dual-Target CAR-NK Cells Targeting MSLN, EGFR, or HER2 in Advanced NSCLC
A Phase 1/2, Open-label, Biomarker-guided Study of Dual-target Chimeric Antigen Receptor Natural Killer (CAR-NK) Cells Targeting Mesothelin (MSLN) With EGFR or HER2/ERBB2, or EGFR With HER2/ERBB2, in Participants With Advanced/Metastatic Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)

Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This is a two-part, biomarker-guided Phase 1/2 study evaluating the safety, feasibility, and preliminary anti-tumor activity of off-the-shelf dual-target CAR-NK cells in participants with advanced or metastatic NSCLC whose tumors co-express at least two of the following antigens: Mesothelin (MSLN), EGFR, and HER2/ERBB2. Participants will receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy followed by infusion of the CAR-NK product matched to their tumor antigen profile. A data-driven interim assessment will be used to select the most suitable construct for expansion.

Inclusion Criteria: * Histologically or cytologically confirmed NSCLC that is unresectable Stage IIIB/IIIC or Stage IV, with radiographic progression on or after standard-of-care therapy (including platinum-based chemotherapy and immune checkpoint inhibitor when appropriate). * At least one measurable lesion per RECIST v1.1. * Archival tumor tissue available (or willingness to undergo a fresh biopsy) for antigen testing. * Tumor co-expression of at least two of the following antigens at screening: MSLN, EGFR, HER2/ERBB2. Example thresholds: IHC ≥2+ in ≥50% of tumor cells for each required antigen (or an equivalent RNA expression threshold). * ECOG performance status 0-1. * Adequate organ function (hematologic, hepatic, renal) as defined by protocol laboratory limits. * Life expectancy ≥12 weeks. * Negative pregnancy test for individuals of childbearing potential; agreement to use effective contraception for the study-defined period. * Ability to understand and willingness to sign written informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Active, uncontrolled central nervous system (CNS) metastases. Participants with previously treated/stable CNS disease may be eligible if clinically stable and off high-dose corticosteroids. * Prior gene-modified cellular therapy (e.g., CAR-T, CAR-NK, TCR-T) within 3 months, or any prior therapy that in the investigator's judgment increases risk of severe toxicity. * History of severe cytokine release syndrome (CRS) or immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) with prior therapies. * Clinically significant interstitial lung disease or pneumonitis requiring systemic steroids, or uncontrolled pulmonary comorbidity that would confound toxicity monitoring. * Active autoimmune disease requiring systemic immunosuppression (physiologic steroid replacement permitted). * Active uncontrolled infection, including uncontrolled HIV, active hepatitis B, or active hepatitis C infection. * Significant cardiovascular disease (e.g., recent myocardial infarction, unstable angina, uncontrolled arrhythmia, or LVEF below institutional lower limit). * Pregnant or breastfeeding. * Concurrent anti-cancer therapy (chemotherapy, targeted therapy, immunotherapy) within protocol-defined washout periods. * Any condition that, in the investigator's opinion, would interfere with participant safety or compliance
