Chimeric Therapeutics Limited (ASX: CHM) has re-opened the Phase 1B study of CHM CORE-NK plus vactosertib for enrolment. CHM CORE-NK is a universal off-the-shelf NK cell therapy which utilises the CORE-NK platform, capable of producing hundreds of doses within a single manufacturing cycle. The Phase 1B study is an investigator-sponsored study and is currently funded without financial assistance from CHM.
Previous Clinical Trial Findings on CHM CORE-NK
Previously investigated in a Phase 1 clinical trial, CHM CORE-NK demonstrated safety, with no incidence of Graft versus Host Disease (GvHD). The study showed prolonged NK cell persistence up to 28 days, and promising early indications of efficacy, especially in cases of blood cancers. In case of blood cancers, all patients achieved disease control, with one individual maintaining a complete response for over 15 months following the study's publication.
