Summary
This trial aims to test the safety and effectiveness of a new treatment called WU-NK-101 in combination with cetuximab in patients with advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) and head and
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with advanced colorectal cancer (CRC) or squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) that has worsened despite standard treatments. Participants must have tried all appropriate targeted therapies, have a life expectancy over 12 weeks, measurable disease per RECIST 1.1 criteria, be physically capable of daily activity with limited assistance (ECOG ≤2), and have good heart function.
What is being tested?
The study tests WU-NK-101 in combination with cetuximab to evaluate safety and early anti-tumor effects in two groups: one with CRC and another with SCCHN. It includes a Dose Escalation Phase to find the safe dosage level followed by a Cohort Expansion Phase to further assess its effectiveness.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to immune system activation such as inflammation in various organs, infusion-related reactions due to cetuximab administration, fatigue, skin rash or itching associated with cetuximab use.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: WU-NK-101 Monotherapy/Cetuximab combo Run-inExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
WU-NK-101 is a non-engineered Natural Killer (NK) cell derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) that is cytokine-reprogrammed, expanded, and cryopreserved to create an allogeneic enhanced memory-like anti-tumor NK cell therapy product.
Each 8 week cycle in dose escalation is divided into two 28- days segments. Patients will receive WU-NK-101 (Days 1 and 15) in the first segment and a combination of cetuximab (500mg/m2 on Days 29 and 43) plus WU-NK-101 (Days 30 and 44) in the second segment.
Group II: WU-NK-101 /Cetuximab ComboExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Patients will receive cetuximab dosed at 500 mg/m2 on Days 1 and 15, and WU-NK-101 on Days 2 and 16, in each 4-week cycle. Depending on response patients may receive up to 6 cycles of treatment.
