A Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase Ib Study Evaluating the Safety and Toxicity of Recombinant Human IL-7 (NT-I7) in Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma Following BCMA CAR-T Therapy (Cilta-cel)

CAR-T cell therapy is an emerging treatment modality in relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma (MM). CAR-T therapy in MM relies on directing autologous T-cells to detect and clear myeloma cells expressing B-cell Maturation Antigen (BCMA). While BCMA CAR-T cell-treated patients achieve an excellent overall response rate, their response is often not durable. NT-I7 promotes CAR-T cell expansion and efficacy in pre-clinical lymphoma models. In patients receiving CD19-directed CAR-T therapy for lymphoma, NT-I7 augmented CAR-T expansion while being safe and tolerable. The impact of NT-I7 on BCMA CAR-T cells in multiple myeloma is unknown.
This is a two-stage, multicenter, phase IB study, with a dose escalation stage leading into a two-arm, double blind, placebo-controlled, randomized dose expansion stage testing the safety and toxicity of adding NT-I7 to BCMA CAR-T therapy in patients with relapsed and refractory multiple myeloma. The hypothesis is that NT-I7 will promote CAR-T expansion and persistence which will enhance clearance of MM, while maintaining a favorable safety and toxicity profile. Patients receiving standard of care BCMA CAR-T (cilta-cel) will be randomized to either NT-I7 or placebo. Correlative studies will evaluate CAR-T cell expansion, persistence, immune-phenotype, function and correlate with clinical outcomes.

An Open-Label, Single-Arm, Phase 1/2 Dose-Escalation Trial of Long-Acting Recombinant Human IL-7 (NT-I7, Efineptakin-Alpha) for Idiopathic CD4 Lymphopenia

Background:
Idiopathic CD4 lymphopenia (ICL) is a syndrome characterized by low levels of certain immune cells called CD4 T cells. The low CD4 T cells renders people with ICL prone to many types of severe infections, autoimmune diseases, and cancers. Although these infections and diseases can be treated whenever occur, there is currently no treatment that targeting the underlying deficiency of CD4 T cells can provide a definitive treatment for people with ICL.
Objective:
To test a new drug (NT-17) in people with ICL which can increase the number of CD4 T cells
Eligibility:
People aged 18 to 75 years with ICL who are also enrolled in NIH protocol 09-I-0102.
Design:
Participants will be screened. They will have a physical exam and blood tests. Some participants with high suspicion of central nervous system infection or history of such infections may also undergo a lumbar puncture. A thin needle will be inserted into their lower back to draw out a sample of the fluid around their spinal cord.
Participants will receive 3 doses of NT-17, each about 12 weeks apart. NT-17 is injected into the muscle of the upper arm, thigh, or buttock. They will visit the clinic 5 days before each dose and again 2 and 4 weeks after each dose. Blood will be drawn at all visits.
Participants will undergo leukapheresis 3 times. Blood will be drawn from a needle in one arm. The blood will pass through a machine that separates out the white blood cells. The remaining blood will be given back through a second needle in the other arm.
Some visits will include a rectal swab.
Some participants may have additional tests, including a skin exam, skin biopsies, and medical imaging.
Participants will have 3 follow-up visits every 3 months after they finish treatment.

Efficacy and Safety Study of Neoadjuvant Efineptakin Alfa (NT-I7) and Pembrolizumab in Recurrent Glioblastoma

This phase II trial tests the safety and side effects of efineptakin alfa and pembrolizumab in treating patients with glioblastoma that has come back (recurrent). Efineptakin alfa is an immunotherapy drug that works by helping the immune system fight tumor cells. Immunotherapy with monoclonal antibodies, such as pembrolizumab, may help the body's immune system attack the cancer, and may interfere with the ability of tumor cells to grow and spread. Giving efineptakin alfa and pembrolizumab may kill more tumor cells in patients with recurrent glioblastoma.

NT-I7, a Long-Acting Interleukin 7, Increases Lymphocyte Counts and Induces CD8+ T-cell Clonotype Expansion in Patients with Newly Diagnosed High-Grade Gliomas

Article

Author: Rettig, Michael P. ; Chheda, Milan G. ; Tao, Yu ; Campian, Jian L. ; Christ, Stephanie ; Huang, Jiayi ; Griffith, Obi L. ; Luo, Jingqin ; Fehniger, Todd A. ; Zhou, Alice Y. ; Ansstas, George ; Foltz, Jennifer A. ; Lee, Byung Ha ; DiPersio, John F. ; Zhang, Chaocai ; Griffith, Malachi ; Johanns, Tanner M. ; Ferrando-Martinez, Sara ; Singhal, Kartik ; Butt, Omar H. ; Tang, Justin

Abstract:

Purpose::

Standard care for high-grade gliomas (HGG) involves maximal surgical resection followed by radiation and temozolomide. Postoperative adjuvant therapy frequently causes lymphopenia, which is associated with poor prognosis. Interleukin 7 (IL7) is essential for lymphocyte development, homeostasis, and survival. NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa), a long-acting recombinant IL7, reverses lymphopenia and improves survival in murine glioma models. However, the safety, maximum tolerated dose (MTD), and impact of NT-I7 on immune cells in patients with HGG remain unknown.

Patients and Methods::

We conducted a phase I trial (NCT03687957) examining the MTD and effect of NT-I7 on lymphocytes in patients with newly diagnosed HGG. The primary endpoint was dose-limiting toxicity; secondary endpoints included absolute lymphocyte count (ALC) changes over time, overall response, progression-free survival, and overall survival. Exploratory endpoints included immune profiling at different time points using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) in a subset of patients.

Results::

NT-I7 was well tolerated with a MTD of 720 µg/kg. Moreover, NT-I7 significantly increased ALCs for more than 12 weeks in duration. Early elevations in CD4+, CD8+ T cells and NK cells further coincided with increased TNF and CXCL9 cytokine levels. Comprehensive immune profiling of peripheral blood T cells revealed selective clonotype expansion within CD8+, but not CD4+, T cells following NT-I7 administration. Finally, a subset of our patients with MGMT promoter–unmethylated glioblastoma, which are typically associated with a poorer prognosis, demonstrated promising clinical responses.

Conclusions::

NT-I7 has the potential to maintain and increase lymphocyte counts in patients with HGG and warrants further investigation, particularly in combination with immune-based therapies.

Long-acting IL-7 induces distinct transcriptomic features in peripheral T cells of patients with solid tumors

Article

BACKGROUND:

IL-7 is a critical cytokine in T cell development, survival, and homeostasis. Previous preclinical and clinical studies reported that IL-7 treatment increased T cell counts, but its effect on peripheral blood T cells in cancer patients and molecular mechanisms have not been explored.

METHODS:

We investigated effects of long-acting recombinant human IL-7 conjugated to a hybrid IgD/IgG4 Fc domain (rhIL-7-hyFc) on peripheral T cells in patients with advanced solid tumors. Peripheral blood samples were collected before and after treatment, followed by analysis through single-cell transcriptomics and flow cytometry.

RESULTS:

We found that rhIL-7-hyFc induced marked expansion of proliferating T cells, and promoted transcriptional changes associated with immune activation, cell cycle progression, and antiapoptosis. Trajectory analysis revealed that posttreatment T cells had distinct transcriptional states enriched for cytokine- and TCR-mediated signaling pathways. Notably, a second dose administered after 3 weeks yielded diminished proliferation and minimal transcriptional changes, which were independent of antidrug antibody or CD127 downmodulation. Examination of elements of the IL-7 signaling pathway revealed intact proximal signaling (e.g., STAT5 phosphorylation) but downregulation of distal elements, including PIM-1 kinase and c-Myc.

CONCLUSIONS:

Our results demonstrate that rhIL-7-hyFc induces robust peripheral T cell expansion and activation in patients with solid tumors, supporting its potential use for lymphopenic patients treated with cancer immunotherapy.

Recombinant human interleukin-7 for patients with infection-associated lymphopenia: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Review

Author: Shi, Yuejuan ; Lu, Xin ; Jiang, Xin ; Tu, Ye ; Wang, Zhibin ; Chen, Linlin

PURPOSE:

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of recombinant human interleukin-7 (rhIL-7) in treating lymphopenia and related clinical outcomes in patients with infection-associated lymphopenia through a meta-analysis.

METHODS:

A Literature retrieval was conducted across databases, including the Cochrane Library, Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, SinoMed, CNKI, Wanfang, and VIP from the inception until October 2025. Randomized controlled trials of rhIL-7 for the treatment of lymphopenia were screened and identified for eligibility. Primary outcomes included absolute lymphocyte counts (ALC), mortality, intensive care unit (ICU) length of stay, and incidence of secondary infections.

RESULTS:

Four studies were included, covering sepsis and COVID-19. In septic patients, rhIL-7 significantly increased ALC (MD = 1.33 at 3 weeks; 95% CI [0.29, 2.38]; MD = 1.14 at 4 weeks; 95% CI [0.02, 2.25]), CD4⁺ T-cell counts (MD = 0.56 at 3 weeks; 95% CI [0.08, 1.05]) and CD8⁺ T-cell counts (MD = 0.40 at 2 weeks; 95% CI [0.05, 0.76]). However, rhIL-7 failed to reduce mortality (RR = 1.01; 95% CI [0.36, 2.81]) or the incidence of secondary infections (RR = 1.05; 95% CI [0.48, 2.30]) in patients with sepsis. In patients with COVID-19, rhIL-7 did not significantly increase ALC at 30 days (MD = 0.46; 95% CI [-0.15, 1.08]) or reduce mortality (RR = 0.85; 95% CI [0.55, 1.33]), but it did significantly reduce the incidence of secondary infections (RR = 0.58; 95% CI [0.46, 0.74]; p < 0.0001). A combined analysis revealed that rhIL-7 significantly increased ALC (MD = 1.15 at 3 weeks; 95% CI [0.47, 1.84]; MD = 0.80 at 4 weeks; 95% CI [0.24, 1.36]) and reduced the risk of secondary infections (RR = 0.64; 95% CI [0.50, 0.81]), but had no effect on mortality or ICU length of stay.

CONCLUSION:

RhIL-7 effectively ameliorates sepsis-associated lymphopenia but does not improve prognosis. Although rhIL-7 reduces the incidence of secondary infections in COVID-19 patients, confounding factors related to the pandemic context must be taken into account.

Follicular Lymphoma Clinical Trial Pipeline Appears Robust With 50+ Key Pharma Companies Actively Working in the Therapeutics Segment | DelveInsight

Advances in immunotherapy have ushered in a new era of treatment for follicular lymphoma (FL), particularly for patients who have experienced relapse after conventional chemotherapy regimens. This paradigm shift is characterized by the emergence of innovative therapies like CAR T-cell therapy and bispecific antibodies, which have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in targeting and eradicating lymphoma cells. CAR T-cell therapy represents a groundbreaking approach where a patient's own T-cells are genetically engineered to recognize and attack cancer cells. This personalized treatment has shown significant promise, especially for individuals who have undergone extensive previous therapies. One notable example is Axicabtagene ciloleucel (Yescarta), a CAR T-cell therapy approved for use in patients with relapsed or refractory follicular lymphoma.

Follicular Lymphoma Overview Follicular lymphoma is a common type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) that originates from B-cells, a kind of white blood cell responsible for producing antibodies. This cancer is characterized by the growth of abnormal lymphoid follicles, which can disrupt normal lymphatic function. While the exact causes of follicular lymphoma are not fully understood, certain factors may increase the risk, including age (most commonly affecting adults over 60), a family history of lymphoma, and potential environmental factors such as exposure to pesticides or chemicals. Symptoms of follicular lymphoma can vary widely but may include painless swelling of lymph nodes in the neck, armpit, or groin, unexplained weight loss, night sweats, fatigue, and fever. Some patients may remain asymptomatic for extended periods, as this type of lymphoma can progress slowly. Diagnosis typically involves a combination of physical examinations, blood tests, imaging studies (like CT scans), and a biopsy of affected lymph nodes. The biopsy helps determine the subtype and stage of the lymphoma, which is crucial for planning treatment. Treatment for follicular lymphoma depends on the stage of the disease and the patient's overall health. Options may include watchful waiting for asymptomatic cases, chemotherapy, immunotherapy (such as monoclonal antibodies), and targeted therapies. In some cases, stem cell transplants may be considered for patients with more aggressive forms or those who do not respond to initial treatments. Given the indolent nature of follicular lymphoma, ongoing management, and regular monitoring are vital for achieving the best possible outcomes.

NeoImmuneTech Presents Promising Interim Results of CAR-T Combination with its NT-I7 Asset at ESMO 2024

Adequate cell expansion and persistence remains a key challenge that limits the efficacy of chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR-T) cell therapies New clinical results presented at ESMO 2024 show NT-I7 treatment following CAR-T cell administration is safe and well tolerated and improv es clinical outcomes through successful expansion of CAR-T cells ROCKVILLE, Md. , Sept. 9, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- NeoImmuneTech, Inc. (NIT or "NeoImmuneTech"), a global leader in T cell-based immunotherapy, will present interim results of the Phase 1b clinical trial (NIT-112) combining a CAR-T therapy with NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa) during the 'Mini oral session 1: Haematological malignancies' at the European Society for Medical Oncology (ESMO) in Barcelona, Spain, from September 13 to 17. These initial results present a promising approach to enhancing the potential of CAR-T therapies while maintaining a stable safety profile. The NIT-112 clinical trial involves patients with Large B-cell Lymphoma (LBCL) who received CAR-T therapies such as Kymriah, Yescarta, or Breyanzi, followed by NT-I7 administration 21 days after CAR-T infusion. The trial aims to evaluate safety, tolerability, the recommended Phase 2 dose (RP2D), and the potential for NT-I7 to enhance CAR-T expansion, persistence and stemness. Interim results show that at dose levels 4 and 5, which are considered mid-level doses (360, 480 µg/kg), NT-I7 demonstrated a stable safety profile. No cases of Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) or Immune Effector Cell-Associated Neurotoxicity Syndrome (ICANS), which are known as high-risk side effects of CAR-T therapies, were observed subsequent to NT-I7 administration. Only mild, manageable side effects (Grade 1-2), such as injection site erythema and swelling were observed in 6 out of 11 patients (54.5%). Overall, a strong safety profile was observed. NT-I7 administration resulted in significant amplification of CAR-T cells, prolonged persistence and an increase in T cell stemness, characterized by a higher frequency of T cells with a stem-cell memory (Tscm) phenotype (CD45RA+CCR7+CD95+). The overall response rate (ORR) from the interim results was 81.1% (9 out of 11 patients), with 7 achieving a complete response (CR) and 2 achieving a partial response (PR). Kymriah is known to have an ORR of 52% in LBCL patients. Dr Luke Oh, President and Chief Executive Officer of NeoImmuneTech, Inc., said: "We are thrilled by the preliminary results of study NIT-112 showing NT-I7's ability to amplify CAR-T cells. This successful amplification of CAR-T cells is expected to translate into improved patient outcomes. NIT plans to actively pursue technology transfer related to the combination of NT-I7 with CAR-T therapies and we look forward to accelerating our discussions with the organizations already conducting preclinical studies combining NT-I7 with our own CAR-T technologies." Title: Phase 1b study of NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa), a long-acting IL-7, post-CD19-directed CAR T cell therapy in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) Presentation Number: 806MO Speakers: Armin Ghobadi (St. Louis, United States of America) Lecture Time: 15:05 – 15:10 (Fri, 2024. 09. 13) Session Name: Mini oral session 1: Hematological malignancies (ID 31) Room: Toledo Auditorium – Hall 3 About NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa) (rhIL-7-hyFc) NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa) is the only clinical-stage long-acting human IL-7 and is being developed in oncologic and immunologic indications, where T cell amplification and increased functionality may provide clinical benefit. IL-7 is a fundamental cytokine for naïve and memory T cell development and sustaining immune response to chronic antigens (as in cancer) or foreign antigens (as in infectious diseases). NT-I7 exhibits favorable PK/PD and safety profiles, making it an ideal combination partner. NT-I7 is being studied in multiple clinical trials in solid tumors and as vaccine adjuvant. Studies are being planned for testing in hematologic malignancies, additional solid tumors and other immunology-focused indications. About NeoImmuneTech, Inc. NeoImmuneTech, Inc. (NIT) is a clinical-stage T cell-focused biopharmaceutical companydedicated to expanding the horizon of immuno-oncology and enhancing immunity to infectious diseases. NIT is led by the scientific founder and inventor of NT-I7 (efineptakin alfa) and has a strong executive team with rich industry experience. NIT is expanding rapidly in personnel and operations, as well as partnering with industry and academic leaders to investigate NT-I7 as monotherapy and in combination with various immunotherapeutics.
