Study Summary

This early phase I trial compares the safety, side effects and the biological or cellular activity of two types of universal donor (UD) natural killer (NK) cells (standard NK cells and transforming growth factor \[TGF\] beta imprinted \[TGF-beta-i\] NK cells), given directly into the tumor (intratumoral) in treating patients with skin (cutaneous) squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) or basal cell carcinoma (BCC). NK cells are a type of white blood cell that can recognize missing or incorrect proteins on tumor cells and then kill these tumor cells. It was recently discovered that infection with human cytomegalovirus (CMV), a common virus, leads to the development of a unique NK cell population. These "adaptive" NK cells have a more potent anti-tumor killing action. The TGF-beta-i NK cells used in this study are created using donors whose blood tests positive for CMV exposure. This may make them more effective at killing tumor cells. Giving UD TGF-beta-i NK cells may be safe, tolerable and/or more effective than standard UD expanded NK cells in treating patients with SCC or BCC.
