NKX019, Intravenous Allogeneic Chimeric Antigen Receptor Natural Killer Cells (CAR NK), in Adults With B-cell Cancers

A Phase 1 Study of NKX019, a CD19 Chimeric Antigen Receptor Natural Killer (CAR NK) Cell Therapy, in Subjects With B-cell Malignancies

Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 20 Apr 2026

Brief summary (registry, in English)

This is a single arm, open-label, multi-center, Phase 1 study to determine the safety and tolerability of an experimental therapy called NKX019 (allogeneic CAR NK cells targeting CD19) in patients with relapsed/refractory non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL), chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or B cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL)

Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Subjects with WM who underwent plasmapheresis \<35 days prior to the first dose of NKX019
  • Subjects with any prior cellular therapy except subjects enrolling in selected cohorts who must have received prior CAR T therapy, recent HCT, or complications from HCT
  • Recent use of any cancer-directed therapy within protocol specified window prior to the first dose of NKX019
  • Residual toxicities ≥Grade 2 due to prior therapy
  • Other comorbid conditions and concomitant medications prohibited as per study protocol

Other illness

  • Disease related:
  • Subjects with NHL with any evidence of active CNS malignancy
  • Subjects with B-ALL who have extramedullary disease (EMD)

Other

  • Burkitt Lymphoma, primary central nervous system (CNS) lymphoma, Richter's transformation to Hodgkin lymphoma
  • Pregnant or lactating female

Who the study is looking for

  • General:
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤1
  • Disease Related:
  • Have a histologically or cytologically confirmed diagnosis of r/r B cell NHL or CLL or B-ALL as defined by WHO 2016 classification
  • Subjects who received prior CD19/CD20-directed therapy must have disease that remains CD19+ and/or CD20+ respectively
  • Have measurable disease
  • Have received ≥2 lines of therapy except subjects with MCL, CAR T Naïve cohorts and WM, who must have received at least 1 prior line of therapy
  • Have received a combination of an anti CD20 monoclonal antibody and cytotoxic chemotherapy for subjects with NHL
  • Received:
    • BTKi for subjects with MCL, CLL/SLL, WM, and other indications where a BTKi is approved
    • Venetoclax for subjects with CLL/SLL
    • Tyrosine kinase inhibitor for subjects with Philadelphia chromosome (Ph+) B-ALL
  • Not responded or relapsed within 12 months of completion of their prior line of therapy, with the exception of a newly diagnosed Richter's transformation of CLL/SLL or other transformation of an indolent lymphoma, including from WM
  • Subjects must not have evidence of rapidly progressive disease that would preclude subject from completing at least 1 cycle of treatment.
  • Adequate organ function
  • White blood cell count of ≤20 × 109/L
  • Platelet count ≥30,000/uL
