Abstrakt: | We described previously a human natural killer (NK) cell population that upregulates PD-L1 expression upon recognizing and reacting to tumor cells or exposure to a combination of IL12, IL18, and IL15. Here, to investigate the safety and efficacy of tumor-reactive and cytokine-activated (TRACK) NK cells, human NK cells from umbilical cord blood were expanded, transduced with a retroviral vector encoding soluble (s) IL15, and further cytokine activated to induce PD-L1 expression. Our results show cryopreserved and thawed sIL15_TRACK NK cells had significantly improved cytotoxicity against non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) in vitro when compared with non-transduced (NT) NK cells, PD-L1+ NK cells lacking sIL15 expression (NT_TRACK NK), or NK cells expressing sIL15 without further cytokine activation (sIL15 NK cells). Intravenous injection of sIL15_TRACK NK cells into immunodeficient mice with NSCLC significantly slowed tumor growth and improved survival when compared with NT NK and sIL15 NK cells. The addition of the anti-PD-L1 atezolizumab further improved control of NSCLC growth by sIL15_TRACK NK cells in vivo. Moreover, a dose-dependent efficacy was assessed for sIL15_TRACK NK cells without observed toxicity. These experiments indicate that the administration of frozen, off-the-shelf allogeneic sIL15_TRACK NK cells is safe in preclinical models of human NSCLC and has potent antitumor activity without and with the administration of atezolizumab. A phase I clinical trial modeled after this preclinical study using sIL15_TRACK NK cells alone or with atezolizumab for relapsed or refractory NSCLC is currently underway (NCT05334329).
