Natural Killer Cell Therapy (UD TGFbetai NK Cells) and Temozolomide for the Treatment of Stage IV Melanoma Metastatic to the Brain

Is NCT05588453 recruiting? Yes, currently enrolling (May 2026). This Phase 1/2 trial studies multiple treatments including Natural Killer Cell Therapy and Temozolomide for clinical stage iv cutaneous melanoma ajcc v8.

Phase 1/2RecruitingKari KendraNCT05588453Data as of May 2026

Treatment: Natural Killer Cell Therapy · TemozolomideThis phase I/II trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of universal donor UD TGFbetai natural killer (NK) cells, and whether UD TGFbetai NK cells with temozolomide works to shrink tumors in patients with stage IV melanoma that has spread to the brain (metastatic to the brain). NK cells are immune cells that contribute to anti-tumor immunity by recognizing and destroying transformed or stressed cells. Temozolomide is in a class of medications called alkylating agents. It works by slowing or stopping the growth of cancer cells in the body. Giving UD TGFbetai NK cell and temozolomide may work better in treating patients with stage IV melanoma.
