Study Description

Brief Summary

This study has 2 parts.

The main aim of Part 1 is to check for side effects from TAK-007 in adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma.

The main aim of Part 2 is to learn if lymphomas are reduced or gone after treatment withTAK-007 in adults with relapsed or refractory B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma or indolent non-Hodgkin lymphoma (iNHL).

Participants will receive lymphodepleting chemotherapy for 3 days before receiving a single injection of TAK-007. After this, participants will regularly visit the clinic for check-ups.

Detailed Description

The product being tested in this study is called TAK-007. TAK-007 is being tested to evaluate the safety and tolerability in adult participants with r/r B-cell NHL. The study will include 2 parts: Part 1 (Dose escalation and dose expansion) and Part 2.

The study will enroll approximately 242 patients.

In Part 1, dose escalation and dose expansion cohorts participants will receive TAK-007 as follows:

Part 1: Dose escalation: TAK-007 - 200×10^6 CD19-CAR+ Viable NK Cells (±30%)
Part 1: Dose escalation: TAK-007 - 800×10^6 CD19-CAR+ Viable NK Cells (±25%)
Part 1: Dose expansion: r/r LBCL: TAK-007 - 200×10^6/800×106 Viable NK Cells
Part 1: Dose expansion: r/r iNHL: TAK-007 - 200×10^{6/ 800×10}6 Viable NK Cells

Based on the data in Part 1, a single TAK-007 dose level will be selected by the sponsor and investigators as the recommended phase 2 dose (RP2D).

Once RP2D is determined, participants will be enrolled in Part 2 of the study in the following cohorts:

Cohort 1: TAK-007 (LBCL)
Cohort 2: TAK-007 (iNHL)

This multi-center trial will be conducted worldwide. The overall time to participate in this study is 5 years. Participants will make multiple visits to the clinic and will enroll in a separate, long-term, follow-up study for continued safety assessments for up to 15 years after TAK-007 administration.
