Overview

This investigational cell therapy involves the intralesional injection of ex-vivo expanded allogeneic natural killer (NK) cells. Developed at the University of Minnesota and led by investigator Kirsten Johnson, the therapy is being evaluated in an early phase I clinical trial for cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) and basal cell carcinoma (BCC). The study compares standard universal donor (UD) NK cells with TGF-beta-imprinted (TGFBi) NK cells. TGFBi NK cells are a unique population of 'adaptive' NK cells derived from cytomegalovirus (CMV)-exposed donors and treated with TGF-beta during expansion. This imprinting process is designed to enhance the cells' anti-tumor potency, persistence, and metabolic fitness within the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. The cells are administered via direct intratumoral injection prior to standard-of-care surgical excision to assess safety and biological activity.
