Protocol Synopsis 
Relapse Prophylaxis with IL-15 Super Agonist N-803 in Patients with Acute 
Myelogenous Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndrome Following Reduced Intensity 
Conditioning (RIC) Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation 
 
 
Study 
Design: 
This is a single-arm, multi-center Phase II trial using IL-15 super-agonist complex (N-803 formerly 
known as Alt-803) maintenance after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (alloHCT) for acute 
myelogenous leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The primary objective is to 
determine if post-transplant N-803 effectively reduces relapse as measured by the cumulative incidence 
of relapse between the 1st dose of N-803 and two years after reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) 
alloHCT. The hypothesis is that N-803 will reduce relapse from a historical estimate of 35% to 20% in 
the study cohort. The rationale is that N-803 will enhance allogeneic immunity through activation and 
expansion of donor-derived NK cells and CD8+ T cells capable of mediating a response to remaining 
leukemia cells (minimal residual disease, MRD); therefore decreasing relapse rates. A secondary aim 
is to achieve this goal without increasing frequency or severity of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) 
 
In this study N-803 is given at 6 mcg/kg subcutaneously (SQ) once every 4 weeks for a maximum 
of 10 doses. Treatment must begin between Day 42 and Day 60 post-transplant with the goal to 
enroll patients as close to Day 42 as feasible as starting anti-tumor maintenance is a logical goal. 
GVHD prophylaxis will continue per individual institutional standard practice. Follow-up for late 
toxicity, disease status, and survival continues for 2 years from alloHCT. 
 
Sixty patients are planned for enrollment with an analysis for futility after 40 patients are enrolled 
(while enrollment continues). The trial will be discontinued if the cumulative incidence estimate of 
2 year relapse is projected at >34%. Otherwise, enrollment continues to complete the trial in the 
absence of excessive toxicity as monitored by early stopping rules by donor type (sibling, umbilical 
cord blood, unrelated and haploidentical): 
1) 
Grade III-IV acute GVHD by Day 120 post-transplant 
2) 
Grade 4 and 5 non-relapse toxicity by Day 120 post-transplant 
 
Primary 
Objective: 
The primary objective is to determine if post-transplant N-803 effectively reduces relapse from a 
historical estimate of 35% to 20% in the study cohort as measured by cumulative incidence of relapse 
between the 1st dose of N-803 and 2 years after a reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) allogeneic 
hematopoietic cell transplant (alloHCT) for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic 
syndrome (MDS). 
 
Secondary 
Objectives: 
 
• To evaluate the safety and tolerability of every 4 week N-803 administration  
• To determine the incidence of relapse at two years after alloHCT stratified by number of doses 
of N-803 (1-3 or 4-10) 
• To determine the frequency and severity of acute and late acute/chronic graft-versus-host 
disease (GVHD) by graft source 
• To evaluate whether cytogenetic and flow cytometry positive minimal residual disease (MRD) 
post-transplant (before and after N-803)  determine overall survival at 2 years post-transplant 
• To determine the incidence of non-relapse mortality at 2 years post-transplant 
 
Correlative 
Objectives: 
• To monitor the number and function of NK cells, T cells, T regulatory cells and myeloid derived 
suppressor cells pre- and post-N-803 therapy and serum cytokines that could influence 
response 
• To determine the incidence of CMV viremia or disease by Day 100 post-transplant  
• To characterize N-803 immunogenicity

1 Objectives 
1.1 Primary Objective 
The primary objective is to determine if post-transplant N-803 effectively 
reduces relapse from a historical estimate of 35% to 20% in the study cohort 
as measured by cumulative incidence of relapse between the 1st dose of N-
803 and 2 years after a reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) allogeneic 
hematopoietic cell transplant (alloHCT) for acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) 
and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS).  
1.2 Secondary Objectives 
• To evaluate the safety and tolerability of every 4 week N-803 administration  
• To determine the incidence of relapse at two years after alloHCT stratified 
by number of doses of N-803 (1-3 or 4-10) 
• To determine the incidence of acute and late acute/chronic graft-versus-host 
disease (GVHD) 
• To evaluate whether cytogenetic and flow cytometry positive minimal residual 
disease (MRD) post-transplant (before and after N-803) 
• To determine overall survival at 2 years post-transplant 
• To determine the incidence of non-relapse mortality at 2 years post-
transplant 
1.3 Correlative Objectives 
• To monitor the number and function of NK cells, T cells, T regulatory cells and 
myeloid derived suppressor cells pre- and post-N-803 therapy, as well as 
serum cytokines reflecting the immune activation 
• To determine the incidence of CMV viremia or disease by Day 100 post-
transplant 
• To characterize the immunogenicity profile of N-803 
 
 
2 Background and Significance 
2.1 Introduction and Rationale for the Approach  
Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common acute leukemia in adults 
with 18,860 cases estimated for 2014 and an additional 800 cases in children 
(www.LLS.org). The incidence is increasing, as it develops in patients who 
survive treatment from other cancers or evolves in elderly patients with 
myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The main cause of treatment failure for AML 
continues 
to 
be 
relapse. 
Successful 
allogeneic 
hematopoietic 
cell

transplantation (HCT) requires the infusion of healthy stem cells, as well as 
lymphocytes capable of participating in a graft-versus-tumor/leukemia (GVL) 
reaction. The importance of the infused lymphocytes has been demonstrated 
in studies showing increased relapse after transplants with lymphocyte-
depleted grafts and by the therapeutic efficacy of donor lymphocyte infusions1-
2. Unfortunately, relapse after allogeneic HCT remains a significant problem 
with rates approaching 35% in patients receiving non-myeloablative 
conditioning (NMAC), and even higher in those with high-risk disease3. Optimal 
strategies to balance immune responses to favor GVL without harmful graft-
versus-host disease (GVHD) are needed.  
 
Profound NK Cell Functional Defects After HCT. Unlike adaptive B and T 
cells, which express a single somatically recombined, clonally expressed 
antigen receptor that recognize specific or cross reactive antigen, NK cell 
activation is controlled by germline-encoded activating and inhibitory receptors. 
With the notable exception of CD16, which binds to the Fc portion of 
immunoglobulin and mediates ADCC, no activating receptor is functionally 
dominant, and each can be counteracted by inhibitory receptor signaling4,5. 
Activating and inhibitory killer cell lectin-like receptors (NKG2C and NKG2A) 
and KIR are encoded by gene complexes, recognize class I molecules, and are 
expressed in a variegated fashion6. These inhibitory receptors are primarily 
responsible for NK cell education, the process by which acquisition of function 
is mediated through engagement of class I MHC. After HCT, NK cells are the 
first cancer fighting defense as NK cells reconstitute in large numbers. 
However, we have identified a profound defect in the function of reconstituting 
NK cells for up to 6 months after HCT. Our approach is to stimulate this function 
as early as possible after transplant in hope of preventing relapse. 
2.2 rhIL-15 
Interleukin-15 (IL-15) is a cytokine and growth factor capable of expanding 
activated T cells and NK cells. By broad consensus, the NCI Immunotherapy 
Workshop (2007) ranked IL-15 as the #1 agent with “high potential for 
immunotherapy7.” Based on preclinical non-human primate and early phase 
clinical trial data, including those at the University of Minnesota, IL-15 regimens 
can unquestionably be designed to prospectively and reproducibly increase T-
cell and NK-cell counts. 
 
The NCI Biological Resource Branch has manufactured E. coli-expressed 
recombinant human IL-15 (rhIL-15), and this is the first IL-15 product tested 
here at the University of Minnesota. Systemic administration of NCI rhIL-15 by 
daily intravenous (IV) bolus has been shown to increase the number of

CPRC #2016LS058 
 
circulating CD8+ T and NK cells, but the cytokine has a very short half-life. We 
have established the MTD for NCI-manufactured rhIL-15 using IV and 
subcutaneous dosing. Although safer with subcutaneous administration 
allowing more drug delivery, we identified limitations with the rhIL-15 in clinical 
testing. Specifically, high levels of free rhIL-15 decrease circulating IL-15R, 
acting as a negative feedback signal to reduce further IL-15 trans-presentation. 
This is the rationale in this trial for using IL-15/IL-15R-Fc (N-803), an IL-15 
product that physiologically trans-presents IL-15. 
2.3 IL-15/IL-15R-Fc (N-803) 
This trial will evaluate an alternative IL-15 construct designed to have a 
prolonged serum half-life. The novel IL-15 immunoconjugate, N-803, was 
developed by our collaborator, Altor BioScience Corporation (Altor, Miramar, 
FL), to overcome some of the biologic, regulatory, and commercial limitations 
of monomeric NCI rhIL-15. Under natural circumstances, IL-15 and IL-15 
Receptor-alpha (IL-15R) are coordinately expressed by antigen-presenting 
cells (i.e., monocytes and dendritic cells)8. During signaling by the IL-15 
pathway, IL-15 bound to IL-15R is presented in trans to neighboring NK or 
CD8+ T cells expressing only the IL-2R receptor. At the immunologic synapse, 
IL15 trans-presentation appears to be a dominant mechanism for IL-15 action 
in vivo, providing tight physiologic control over the functions of IL-15 under 
homeostatic conditions and in response to immune stimuli9. N-803 is a soluble 
complex consisting of two protein subunits of a human IL-15 variant10 
associated with high affinity to a dimeric human IL-15 Receptor α (IL-15Rα) 
sushi domain/human IgG1 Fc fusion protein11. 
  
The IL-15 variant is a 114 aa polypeptide comprising the mature human IL-15 
cytokine sequence with an Asn to Asp substitution at position 72 of helix C 
(N72D)12. The human IL-15Rα sushi domain/human IgG1 Fc fusion protein 
comprises the sushi domain of the human IL-15 Receptor α subunit (IL-15Rα) 
(aa 1-65 of the mature human IL-15Rα protein) linked with the human IgG1 
CH2-CH3 region containing the Fc domain (232 amino acids). Aside from the 
N72D substitution, all of the protein sequences are human. N-803 has a 
prolonged serum half-life in preclinical animal models and has a 4-fold increase 
in biologic activity greater than wild-type IL-15 (IL-15 wt)10.  
2.4 N-803 by Subcutaneous Injection  
IV and SC administration of N-803 were compared in early phase 1 studies in 
solid and hematologic tumors (QUILT-3.003, QUILT-3.004, QUILT-3.005). The 
decision to discontinue IV administration was based on the high Cmax

April 14, 2022

observed via this route, which was associated with markedly increased serum 
cytokine levels and high fever, rigors, tachycardia, and relative hypotension.15 
SC administration of N-803 results in an approximately 100-fold lower Cmax 
than IV and allows N-803 serum concentration to be maintained up to 96 hours 
post-dose with still detectable levels at 7 days (while IV N-803 declined below 
detection 48 - 96 hours post-administration). A PK study using SC N-803 in 
healthy volunteers (QUILT-1.004) showed that serum levels of N-803 remained 
elevated over a relatively prolonged period after a single administration of the 
drug; the apparent mean half-life of the complex was 20-21 hours. SC 
administration resulted in significant attenuation of AEs as compared to IV 
administration. Subjects receiving N-803 via SC administration most commonly 
experienced injection site reaction, mild fever, hypoalbuminemia, and chills, 
while those receiving IV N-803 most commonly experienced higher fever, 
rigors, fatigue, nausea, and hypertension. The common localized skin rash 
observed with SC administration of N-803 could be managed with topical 
steroids when necessary. In addition to its favorable tolerability and PK profile, 
SC administration of N-803 is associated with equivalent and possibly 
enhanced efficacy and biological activity. In QUILT-3.004 (hematologic 
malignancies), SC administration of N-803 was associated with a greater 
increase in circulating NK cells than IV administration.15 In QUILT-3.002 
(relapsed or refractory iNHL), the combination of rituximab with N-803 led to 
objective responses in 58% (7 out of 12) of SC-treated subjects and 44% (4 out 
of 9) of IV-treated subjects. In total, these observations show that SC 
administration is well tolerated, yields a lower Cmax yet more sustained serum 
levels of N-803 over time, and has equivalent or greater efficacy and biological 
activity as compared to IV administration.

details.

2.5 Study Rationale 
As we perform more transplants in older adults using reduced intensity 
conditioning, relapse rates are unacceptably high irrespective of graft 
source13,14. Currently there is no effective maintenance therapy available for 
this patient population. We also described an NK cell defect early after HCT. 
IL-15 is an optimal cytokine to improve NK and T cell function; potentially 
improving graft versus tumor effect and reducing the relapse risk after RIC 
transplants. We have tested a number of IL-15 products and IL-15/IL-15R-Fc 
(N-803) seems to be the best candidate for use in this setting.

While some studies continue to dose escalate (currently 15 and 20 mcg/kg are 
under study); we are testing immune activation in a minimal residual setting 
and will use a lower safe dose (N-803 6 mcg/kg SQ). We have chosen to be 
conservative in the dosing here 1) because of the complexity of patients early 
post-transplant and 2) because of the use in the prophylactic setting. In 
addition, we have shown that 6 mcg/kg is safe, especially with subcutaneous 
dosing, where as unlike IV N-803, subcutaneous dosing is associated with less 
severe constitutional symptoms compared to IV dosing. In addition, we have 
immunologic data suggesting that 6 mcg/kg is biologically active.  
 
The cumulative experience with ALT-803 (initially from Altor BioSciences) has 
grown and we published the first-in-human experience in 31 transplant patients 
as the rationale for this trial15. This paper also details the immune activation 
and long half-life of subcutaneous (SQ) dosing, the approach we use here. We 
have treated 8 subjects with weekly SQ dosing in this current trial and learned 
that weekly dosing is simply not feasible because injection site reactions (very 
common in all cohorts tested) take more than one week to resolve. In addition, 
pre-clinical data suggest that higher levels of IL-15 may lead to NK cell 
exhaustion16. During the progress of this trial, BioSciences became a wholly-
owned subsidiary of ImmunityBio, Inc. While there is no change in the drug, 
they now refer to it as N-803, reflecting the business acquisition. ImmunityBio, 
Inc. has also performed additional studies in normal volunteers (unpublished) 
showing that dosing intervals should probably be 3-4 weeks to prevent 
exhaustion and maximize immune activation. Every 4-week dosing was chosen 
to amend this trial based on this new information recognizing the higher risk 
cohort and to maximize patient convenience with this maintenance therapy 
strategy. In addition, the treatment plan was revised to initiate N-803 dosing 
closer post-HCT (from a window of Day 60 - Day 100) to as close to Day 42 as 
feasible, and no later than Day 60 post-transplant. Starting anti-tumor 
maintenance earlier is a logical goal, while continuing GVHD prophylaxis per 
individual institutional practice. This decision is supported by an ongoing clinical 
study (NCT02782546) which administers 4 doses of N-803 subcutaneously 
between on Day +7 and Day +17 after a RIC allo-HCT (Day 0)/haploidentical 
NK cells on Day +7 without an increased incidence of GVHD (Todd Fehniger, 
MD - personal communication).

3 Study Design 
This is a single-arm, multi-center Phase II trial using IL-15 super-agonist complex 
(N-803) maintenance after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (alloHCT) for 
acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) and myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). The 
primary objective is to determine if post-transplant N-803 effectively reduces 
relapse as measured by the cumulative incidence of relapse between the 1st dose 
of N-803 (Day 42 to Day 60 post-transplant) and two years after RIC alloHCT. The 
rationale is that N-803 will enhance allogeneic immunity through activation and 
expansion of donor-derived NK cells and CD8+ T cells capable of mediating a 
response to remaining leukemia cells (minimal residual disease, MRD); therefore 
decreasing relapse rates. A secondary aim is to achieve this goal without increasing 
frequency or severity of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). 
 
In this study N-803 is given at 6 mcg/kg subcutaneously (SQ) once every 4 weeks 
to a maximum of 10 doses. Treatment must begin between Day 42 and Day 60 
post-transplant with the goal to enroll patients as close to Day 42 as feasible as 
starting anti-tumor maintenance is a logical goal. GVHD prophylaxis will continue 
per individual institutional standard practice. Follow-up for late toxicity, disease 
status, and survival continues for 2 years from alloHCT. 
 
Sixty patients are planned for enrollment with an analysis for futility after 40 patients 
are enrolled (while enrollment continues). The trial will be discontinued if the 
cumulative incidence estimate of 2 year relapse is projected at >34%. Otherwise, 
enrollment continues to complete the trial in the absence of excessive toxicity as 
monitored by early stopping rules. 
 
We hypothesize that risk of acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) and Grade 4-
5 non-relapse toxicity following N-803 treatment could vary by donor type. 
Therefore, we will count events towards the stopping rules separately for each 
donor type (sibling, umbilical cord blood, unrelated, and haploidentical) as follows: 
1) Grade III-IV acute GVHD by Day 120 post-transplant 
2) Grade 4 and 5 non-relapse toxicity by Day 120 post-transplant 
 
Note: Overall enrollment is irrespective of donor type. If a stopping rule is met for 
one donor type, enrollment will be suspended for that group only. Enrollment for all 
other donor groups may continue until the maximum study size is reached.

4 Patient Selection 
Study entry is open to adults 18 years and older regardless of gender, race or ethnic 
background. While there will be every effort to seek out and include females and 
minority patients, the patient population is expected to be no different than other 
transplant studies for AML and MDS at the participating institutions.  
 
Depending on institutional practices, the patient may be presented with the study 
prior to transplant; however, final eligibility cannot be established until post-
transplant. The treatment consent must be signed within 28 days of planned 
treatment start. If the consent is signed during pre-screening, the patient must sign 
a new consent or initial and date the prior consent if it is still the current IRB-
approved consent.   
4.1 Inclusion Criteria 
4.1.1 Diagnosis of acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) or myelodysplastic

• >50% donor myeloid and lymphoid chimerism in blood or bone 
marrow on most recent bone marrow (BM) evaluation 
• No morphologic evidence of relapse (< 5% bone marrow blasts) on 
most recent BM evaluation (Day 21 or 28 post-transplant is 
acceptable) 
• Being followed in the outpatient setting (not an inpatient) 
• No plan of giving other anti-cancer treatment directed at the 
diseases under study (i.e. maintenance therapy [e.g. sorafenib for 
FLT3m+ AML or hypomethylating therapy], additional therapy for 
MDS) 
 
4.1.3 If acute GVHD is present it must be clinically improving on topical 
steroids and/or on low dose systemic steroids (≤ 0.3 mg/kg/day 
prednisone) and with clinical stability for at least 1 week prior to 
determination of eligibility. GVHD prophylaxis will be continued per 
individual institutional standard practice

5 Patient Screening and Enrollment 
Depending on institutional practices, the patient may be presented with the study 
consent prior to transplant; however, final eligibility cannot be established until 
post-transplant.  
 
Written consent must be obtained prior to the performance of any research related 
tests or procedures. Consent is obtained before eligibility is confirmed. 
5.1 Enrollment with the University of Minnesota Clinical Trials Office 
Any patient who is consented is to be entered in OnCore by the site Study 
Coordinator or designee.  
 
If a patient is consented but is not enrolled in the study treatment (i.e. is found 
to be ineligible), the patient’s record is updated in OnCore as a screen failure 
and reason for exclusion recorded.  
 
Complete enrollment information is found in the study’s Procedures Manual for 
Participating Sites. 
 
In addition, participating institutions are responsible for fulfilling any local study 
registration requirements. 
5.2 Patient Enrollment to Study Treatment in OnCore 
To be eligible for study treatment, the patient must sign the treatment consent 
and meet each inclusion criteria and none of the exclusion criteria on the 
eligibility checklist based on an eligibility assessment documented in the 
patient’s medical record.

5.3 Patients Who Do Not Begin Study Treatment 
If a patient is enrolled in the study (i.e. assigned a sequence number) and is 
later found unable to begin N-803 by Day 60, the patient will be removed from 
study and treated at the physician’s discretion. The study staff will update 
OnCore of the patient’s non-treatment status (off study) with the reason for 
removal from study prior to starting study treatment clearly indicated. The 
patient will be replaced to complete enrollment. 
 
 
6 Treatment Plan 
In order to provide optimal patient care and to account for individual medical 
conditions, investigator discretion may be used in the prescribing of all supportive 
care drug therapy (i.e. acetaminophen, diphenhydramine, antimicrobials, etc.).  
 
The use of systemic steroid medications may result in loss of therapeutic effects 
of the study drug and should be avoided. Standard of care GVHD prophylaxis is 
permitted per institutional practice. Topical steroid cream is permitted. 
 
CMV and other viral prophylaxis/management will be per institutional practice. 
6.1 
N-803 Administration 
Treatment is given as an outpatient. 
 
N-803 at 6 mcg/kg is administered subcutaneously on Day 1 of a 28 day cycle 
for a maximum of 10 doses, or until relapse, unacceptable toxicity, or patient 
refusal, whichever comes earlier.  
 
A window of ±1 week is permitted for each “monthly” N-803 injection in the 
event of scheduling issues (i.e. holiday, bad weather or other scheduling 
issues) but the first dose must be given by Day 60. There is no resetting of the 
treatment calendar when a treatment window is used as the recommended 
schedule for N-803, in general is every 3 to 4 weeks. At minimum of 3 weeks 
must separate each injection. 
 
N-803 dosing is calculated using a weight obtained within 7 days prior to the 
first dose. For patients > 100 kilograms weight, the N-803 dose is calculated 
using a weight capped at 100 kg. The patient’s weight is re-checked prior to 
each dose (within 7 days) and the dose re-calculated if ≥ 10% change from the 
weight used for the previous dose calculation. Rounding of a dose is permitted 
per institutional policy.

If the total subcutaneous dose is greater than 1.5 mL volume, the dose will be 
divided by the pharmacist into 2-3 subcutaneous injections as needed. 
Injections are given in the abdominal area. The injection site should be rotated 
per institutional guidelines and each injection site separated by at least 1 inch.  
 
Pre-medication 
Use of pre-medications is at the discretion of the treating physician on an 
individual patient basis. Acetaminophen may be given prior to the injection to 
reduce the intensity of the fever that often occurs a few hours later.  
 
Required post N-803 dose monitoring  
Patients will be observed for a minimum of 2 hours after the 1st dose of N-
803 for immediate adverse events. Vital signs (heart rate, blood pressure, 
respiration, temperature, and oxygen saturation) will be documented prior to 
the N-803 injection and then at 30, 60 and 120 minutes with a ± 20 minute 
window for each time point.  
 
If the 1st dose of N-803 is well tolerated, subsequent doses may be 
administered with a 30 minute post dosing observation period. Vital signs 
(heart rate, blood pressure, respiration, temperature, and oxygen saturation) 
will be documented prior to each N-803 injection and then at 30 minutes ± 10 
minutes. 
6.1.1 Provider’s Assessment Prior to Each N-803 
In order to proceed with a planned N-803 injection, a provider must assess the 
patient prior to administration to rule-out any of the following contraindications 
for dosing: 
• the previous injection site reaction is not showing signs of resolving 
(improving) based on measurement or intensity 
• signs or symptoms of a new infection 
• fever > 101°F (38.3 °C) 
• there are signs or symptoms of new acute GVHD as evidenced by new skin 
rash outside of the injection reaction area 
• there is clinical progression of existing acute GVHD 
• there are signs or symptoms of relapse 
 
The N-803 dose will be delayed for 1 week if one or more of the above 
conditions are present. Refer to Section 6.2 GVHD Management Guidance in 
the event of new (or suspected) aGVHD or worsening of existing aGVHD. 
 


MT2016-07:  Relapse Prophylaxis with N-803 Following RIC Allogeneic Stem Cell for AML and MDS 
 
 
 
 
 
 
April 14, 2022 
Page 24 of 57 
CPRC #2016LS058 
 
In addition, N-803 may be delayed for 1 week on the day of a planned dose for 
either of the following situations: 
• any Grade 3 or greater ongoing N-803 treatment related toxicity (injection 
site reaction, neurologic, increased liver function tests) 
• if in the opinion of the treating physician, holding N-803 would be of benefit 
to the patient   
 
If after a 1 week rest: 
• The patient meets the criteria for treatment, the patient may receive N-803. 
The patient calendar would not be adjusted (reset)  
• The patient does not meet the criteria for treatment or the investigator feels 
holding treatment would be of benefit to the patient, the dosing may be 
skipped with treatment resumed at the next planned date.  
 
There is no resetting of the treatment calendar in OnCore for either 
scheduling issues or delays due to toxicities. Cycle 1 Day 1 is the anchor 
for all subsequent injections spaced every 4 weeks. A ± 1 week window is 
associated with each injection date; however injections should be no closer 
than 3 weeks apart. 
6.1.2 Dose Reduction 
A one-time dose decrease to 4 mcg/kg is allowed for recurrent N-803 related 
constitutional symptoms (e.g. fever, fatigue, muscle aches) interfering with 
activities of daily living (ADL) despite pre-medication. Patients unable to 
tolerate the reduced dose will be discontinued from further N-803. Re-
escalation of the dose is not permitted. 
6.1.3 Inadequate Dosing 
If a patient receives only one dose of N-803, the patient will be taken off 
treatment and followed per Section 8.1. The patient will be fully evaluable for 
safety and toxicity, but replaced in the evaluation of efficacy.  
6.2 GVHD Management Guidance 
New or worsening skin rash outside of injection site area (whether GVHD 
clinically suspected or previously diagnosed) and other GVHD manifestations 
should be managed as described in this section. Refer to Section 7.1 for 
management of skin rash/injection site reaction within the vicinity of the 
injection. 
 
The following guidance is based on GVHD grading criteria using the University 
of Minnesota aGVHD Grading Scale (Appendix III).

CPRC #2016LS058 
 
 
If new GVHD Grade I or Grade II is clinically suspected or definitive, hold 
N-803 until the next planned dose. N-803 may resume with the next planned 
dose if GVHD is clinically improving with topical steroids and/or low dose 
systemic steroids (prednisone ≤ 0.3 mg/kg/day or equivalent) with clinical 
stability for at least 1 week prior to the planned N-803 injection (and other 
criteria for treatment in Section 6.1 is met).  
 
If new or worsening GVHD Grade III is clinically suspected or definitive, 
hold N-803 until the next planned dose. If the GVHD flare was in the context of 
tapering immunosuppressive medications, one could consider subsequent 
cycles if GVHD is controlled with systemic steroids (≤ 0.3 mg/kg/day) with 
clinical stability for at least 1 week prior to the planned N-803 injection. If GVHD 
flare was not in the context of tapering immunosuppressive medications, one 
should consider permanently discontinuing N-803. If prednisone > 0.3 
mg/kg/day (or equivalent) is required, N-803 will be permanently discontinued. 
 
If new or worsening GVHD Grade IV, N-803 will be permanently discontinued. 
6.3 Supportive Care 
Supportive care will be provided per institutional guidelines and standard of 
care. Guidelines may be updated based on current data/drugs without requiring 
a protocol amendment or be considered a protocol deviation.  
 
At study enrollment, GVHD prophylaxis will be continued according individual 
institutional standard practice. 
 
Supportive care may be given as needed on an individual patient basis 
including, but not limited to: 
Fever - acetaminophen 
Chills - meperidine or morphine sulfate  
Nausea and vomiting - anti-emetics and IV fluids 
Diarrhea - loperamide and fluids after stool testing 
6.4 General Concomitant Medications Guidelines 
Administration of additional glucocorticoids is discouraged during the N-803 
treatment period as the use of systemic steroid medications may result in loss 
of therapeutic effects of the study drug. Sustained use of steroids at a 
prednisone dose > 0.3 mg/kg/day or equivalent (other than standard GVHD 
prophylaxis per institutional practice) or steroid use to treat related toxicity will

be an indication to stop N-803. Transient use is permitted as needed per 
standard of care. Topical steroid cream is permitted.  
 
CMV prophylaxis/management will be per institutional practice. 
 
The use of anti-cancer therapies including maintenance therapy, agents that 
affect immunity, and investigational agents, are prohibited while a patient is 
receiving study treatment. 
 
Refer to Section 6.2 for guidelines in the management of GVHD. 
6.5 Duration of Treatment 
N-803 post-transplant may continue for a maximum of 10 doses unless one of 
the following occurs: 
• unacceptable toxicity 
• development of Grade IV aGVHD (refer to Appendix III) or GVHD requires 
steroid dose > 0.3 mg/kg/day prednisone or equivalent 
• initiation of new anti-cancer therapy or other prohibited therapy (including 
approved therapies, investigational agents, agents that affect immunity)  
• consent is withdrawn or patient is not compliant 
 
An End of Treatment (EOT) visit occurs 4 weeks (± 1 week) after the last dose 
of N-803 to assess for signs of acute GVHD and N-803 related toxicity. 
 
All patients will be followed per Section 8.1 and evaluable per Section 13.1. 
6.6 Duration of Study Participation 
Patients are followed for late toxicity, disease status, and survival for 2 years 
from the date of transplant, unless one of the following occurs: 
• consent is withdrawn  
• patient is discharged to hospice and/or not returning to the study site for 
routine post-transplant follow-up – in these cases, follow-up information 
including date and cause of death may be obtained, as available from other 
sources (i.e. BMT database).

7 Management of Injection Site Reactions/Skin Rash in 
Association with N-803 
Based on current experience, localized skin rashes are common with 
subcutaneous administration. If a rash occurs and the rash area surrounding the 
N-803 injection site is > 6 cm or symptomatic (painful and/or itchy), it may be 
treated with topical 0.05% clobetasol propionate (i.e. 0.05% Cormax) or 0.1% 
triamcinolone (i.e., Kenalog) cream. Diphenhydramine may be administered pre- 
and post-dosing (25-50 mg TID orally x 2 days) of N-803 at the discretion of the 
treating physician.  
 
Usually the rash associated with an N-803 starts small at the site of the injection 
and spreads outwardly sometimes covering a large area of the abdomen. It 
generally resolves within 7 days of treatment. Patients will be instructed to contact 
a member of the study team for rashes outside of the injection site area and/or 
lasting more than 7 days. 
 
8 Clinical Evaluations and Procedures 
Scheduled evaluations during the treatment cycles may be performed up to 3 days 
before (-3 days) the targeted date with the additional visits during Cycle 1 having a 
±1 day window.  
 
A window of ±1 week for the N-803 dosing is allowed in the event of scheduling 
issues. Treatment may be delayed for 1 week for toxicity related reasons as detailed 
in Section 6.1.1; however, if treatment cannot be given after a 1 week delay, 
treatment will be held until the next planned dose.  
 
The End of Treatment (EOT) visit (4 weeks after the last dose of N-803) may be 
scheduled using a ±1 week. After the EOT visit, follow-up for this study will coincide 
with the standard of care transplant follow-up schedule through 2 years post-
transplant. In addition, targeted days may be altered as clinically appropriate.

Immunogenicity samples are stored frozen at the study site until the time of batch shipping directly to 
ImmunityBio, Inc’s central laboratory. 
 
Refer to the Laboratory Manual for additional details. 
 
Note: if a patient is not abiding by the required clinical care calendar (Section 8.1), 
the collection schedule of the toxicity (adverse event) data and research related 
samples schedule may be altered or discontinued on an individual patient basis, 
as appropriate. It will not be a protocol deviation if a research related sample 
collection is not done because the patient did not comply with the standard of care 
visit. 
 
It is recognized that with novel therapies as used in this study, the timing of protocol 
directed research samples may miss important patient specific events. For this 
reason, up to 3 extra samples of 60 ml of blood each may be drawn at additional 
relevant time points (i.e. development of GVHD, relapse, change in blood counts 
(lymphocytosis)) as per the PI’s opinion, and are not specified above.  
8.2.1 Assessment of Immune Activation (TTL) 
Samples to evaluate lymphocyte number, phenotype and function will be 
collected as detailed above for the Masonic Cancer Center Translational 
Therapy Lab (TTL) along with serum (red top tubes) for measure of cytokines 
that can reflect immune activation. 
 
Flow cytometry analysis of a fraction of the PBMC will detect surface markers 
that define lymphocyte subsets (NK, NKT, B, and T cells, both CD4 and CD8), 
as well as intracellular markers that define regulatory T cells (Foxp3) and 
proliferating cells (Ki67). All remaining PBMC will be cryopreserved in 10%

DMSO and stored in liquid nitrogen for future testing, if subject agreed to future 
storage at the time of initial consent. 
8.2.2 Immunogenicity (ImmunityBio, Inc) 
Immunogenicity assays will be performed at ImmunityBio, Inc. Serum samples 
for immunogenicity testing will be collected for all. The collection schedule is 
specified in the Study Calendar. One 5 mL silicone coated (red top) tube per 
time point will be collected.  
 
The collected blood samples will be processed (centrifuge at 1000-1500 x g for 
10 minutes) at the study site and the serum portion will be frozen and shipped 
to ImmunityBio, Inc in batches upon request for evaluation using validated 
ELISA methods.  
 
In these tests, human anti-N-803 antibodies are detected in patient serum 
samples using a direct sandwich ELISA method with plates coated with N-803. 
After the appropriate wash conditions, biotinylated N-803 is used for detection 
with standard HRP-labeled streptavidin reagents. For analysis of clinical 
samples, anti-IL-15 antibody serve as reference standard and serum from N-
803 immunized mice serve as a positive control. The level of anti-N-803 
antibody in patient samples is determined based on the anti-IL-15 antibody 
standard curve. 
 
9 N-803 Formulation, Supply, and Potential Toxicity 
N-803 (previously known as ALT-803 - Altor BioScience is now a wholly owned 
subsidiary of ImmunityBio, Inc.) is a recombinant human superagonist IL-15 
complex. Its active ingredient is N-803 and its pharmacologic class is an anti-
cancer and anti-viral immunotherapeutic. 
 
N-803 has been referred to as IL-15N72D:IL-15RαSu/IgG1 Fc complex in various 
preclinical study reports, publications, and other related documents.  
 
N-803 is an IL-15-based immunostimulatory protein complex that acts as a growth 
and activation factor for NK cells and effector and memory T cells. Based on the 
results of animal tumor models, N-803 stimulated cellular immune responses 
are expected to exhibit potent activity against human tumor cells. Due to the 
higher affinity single amino acid substituted IL-15 variant and the presentation of 
IL-15 with IL-15RαSu, N-803 is likely to be effective at low concentrations. 
Owning to its longer half-life as a result of fusion with Fc, N-803 is likely to be 
effective using a practical regimen of every 4 week injections in this patient

population. It is likely that low concentrations of N-803 will increase the 
peripheral blood T cell and NK cell counts to predictable levels with a safety 
profile appropriate for outpatient use. 
9.1 Structural Formula 
N-803 is a soluble complex consisting of 2 protein subunits of a human IL-15 
variant associated with high affinity to a dimeric IL-15R sushi domain/human 
IgG1 Fc fusion protein. The IL-15 variant is a 114 aa polypeptide comprising 
the mature human IL-15 cytokine sequence with an Asn to Asp substitution at 
position 72 of helix C (N72D).6. The human IL-15R sushi domain/human IgG1 
Fc fusion protein comprises the sushi domain of the IL-15R subunit (aa 1-65 of 
the mature human IL-15Rα protein) linked with the human IgG1 CH2-CH3 
region containing the Fc domain (232 amino acids). Aside from the N72D 
substitution, all of the protein sequences are human. Based on the amino acid 
sequence of the subunits, calculated molecular weight of the complex 
comprising 2 IL-15N72D polypeptides and a disulfide linked homodimeric IL-
15RαSu/IgG1 Fc protein is 92.4 kDa. Each IL-15N72D polypeptide has a 
calculated molecular weight of approximately 12.8 kDa and the IL-
15RαSu/IgG1 Fc fusion protein has a calculated molecular weight of 
approximately 33.4 kDa. Both the IL-15N72D and IL-15RαSu/IgG1 Fc proteins 
are glycosylated resulting in an apparent molecular weight of N-803 as 
approximately 114 kDa by size exclusion chromatography. The isoelectric point 
(pI) determined for N-803 range from approximately 5.6 to 6.5. Thus, the fusion 
protein is negatively charged at pH 7. The calculated molar extinction 
coefficient at A280 for N-803 is 116,540 M-1, or 1.26 OD280 for a 1 mg/mL 
solution of ALT-801, or one OD280 is equivalent to 0.79 mg/mL solution of N-
803. 
9.2 Formulation  
The biological drug product, N-803, is formulated in a phosphate buffered 
saline (PBS) solution. The solution appears as a clear and colorless liquid. The 
drug substance is produced by a recombinant mammalian cell line and is 
manufactured using a protein free media.  
9.3 Packaging 
Vials are packaged in cartons and shipped to the clinical site. 
9.4 Storage 
N-803 is supplied in a 2-mL single-dose/single-use vial containing 0.6 mL of N-
803 (extractable volume is 0.5 mL) at a concentration of 1 mg/mL or 2 mg/mL.

CPRC #2016LS058 
 
N-803 will be stored at the site in a secured area at 2°C to 8°C with limited 
access and protection from excess light and heat. 
9.5 Study Drug Preparation  
N-803 dosing is calculated using a weight obtained within 7 days prior to the 
first dose. For patients > 100 kilograms weight, the N-803 dose is calculated 
using a weight capped at 100 kg. The patient’s weight is re-checked prior to 
each dose (within 7 days) and the dose re-calculated if ≥ 10% change from the 
weight used for the previous dose calculation. Rounding of a dose is permitted 
per institutional policy. 
The appropriate volume of N-803 is withdrawn.  
If the total subcutaneous dose is greater than 1.5 mL, the dose will be divided 
into 2-3 subcutaneous injections as needed. 
N-803 can be stored in a syringe for up to 24 hours at 4°C.  
9.6 Agent Inventory Records 
The investigator, or a responsible party designated by the investigator (e.g. 
institutional investigational pharmacy), must maintain a record of the inventory 
and disposition of all agents received from ImmunityBio, Inc using the Study 
Agent Drug Accountability Record.  
9.7 Toxicity 
The most common side effects seen in studies with subcutaneous (under the 
skin) injections have been fever, chills, hypoalbuminemia, and injection site 
reaction, and skin rash, which at times has been widespread. These localized 
skins reactions are common (occurring in more than 50% of patients).  
 
In June 2020 an SAE was filed on a study participant who developed atrial 
fibrillation (a-fib) with no prior history resulting in a hospitalization. We identified 
a previous case of a patient who developed a-fib while on treatment from a 
different clinical trial that used N-803 weekly to treat relapse. In both cases of 
a-fib, there were other potential explanations that could have triggered the 
arrhythmia. While we cannot directly attribute causality between N-803 and a-
fib, it is at least possible that they are related, directly or indirectly. A-fib may 
be indirectly triggered in susceptible patients by fevers and/or use of diuretics 
for fluid retention that can be observed with some N803 regimens. Based on 
this information, we decided to add the development of a-fib as a possible rare 
side effect from N-803 in the consent form.

Tuberculosis is a potential risk of N-803. One instance of tuberculosis has been 
reported in a participant receiving N-803 in combination with BCG (a live, 
attenuated strain of Mycobacterium bovis) administered into the bladder by a 
urinary catheter. A causal relationship between N-803, in combination with 
BCG, and tuberculosis infection cannot be definitely ruled out. 
 
Anti N-803 antibodies have been detected in subjects receiving N-803. The 
impact of anti-N-803 antibody formation on clinical efficacy and safety of N-803 
is unknown. 
 
Previous editions of the ALT-803 Investigator’s Brochure prior to 2019 relied 
heavily on clinical experience with the related cytokine therapeutic Proleukin® 
Interleukin-2 to anticipate potential risks associated with ALT-803 (N-803) 
administration. This approach was based on the fact that N-803 and IL-2 are 
both γ chain cytokines and thus could reasonably be predicted to have similar 
immunostimulatory properties. However, the substantial accumulated 
information on N-803 effects in humans indicates that many side effects of IL-
2 are not observed in patients treated with N-803 at the doses being used 
clinically. For this reason, side effects observed in subjects treated with IL-2 but 
not N-803, such as capillary leak syndrome, pulmonary dysfunction, acidosis, 
and gastritis, have been removed from the IB and are reflected in this protocol 
and its consent form.

9.8 Agent Ordering 
N-803 will be shipped by cold chain from ImmunityBio, Inc directly to the study 
site. 
 
10 Adverse Event Monitoring, Documentation, and Reporting 
Toxicity and adverse events will be classified and graded according to NCI's 
Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events V 4.0 (CTCAE) and reported on 
the schedule below. A copy of the CTCAE can be downloaded from the CTEP 
home page: 
 (http://ctep.cancer.gov/protocolDevelopment/electronic_applications/ctc.htm#ctc_40). 
 
The following definitions of adverse events (AEs) and serious adverse events 
(SAEs) will determine whether the event requires expedited reporting via the 
OnCore SAE Report Form in addition to routine documentation in the OnCore AE 
case report form (CRF).  
 
The reporting timeframes for SAEs, product related issues, and other reportable 
events are located in Section 10.6. 
 
Note: Throughout this section the generic term “study drug” refers to the study 
related treatment (N-803 injections). 
10.1 Adverse Event Terminology 
Adverse Event:  Any untoward medical occurrence associated with the use 
of a drug in humans, whether or not considered drug related. 
 
Serious Adverse Event:  An adverse event is considered “serious” if, in the 
view of either the investigator or sponsor, it results in any of the following 
outcomes:  
• Death 
• A life-threatening adverse event 
• Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization 
• A persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the 
ability to conduct normal life functions 
• A congenital anomaly/birth defect 
Important medical events that may not result in death, be life-threatening, 
or require hospitalization may be considered serious when, based upon 
appropriate medical judgment, they may jeopardize the patient or subject

CPRC #2016LS058 
 
and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the 
outcomes listed in this definition.  
 
Unexpected Event: An adverse event or suspected adverse reaction is 
considered “unexpected” if it is not listed in the investigator brochure or is 
not listed at the specificity or severity that has been observed; or, if an 
investigator brochure is not required or available, is not consistent with the 
risk information described in the general investigational plan or elsewhere 
in the current application, as amended.  
 
The categories for AE attribution to study treatment are as follows:  
• Definite – clearly related 
• Probable – likely related 
• Possible – may be related 
• Unlikely – doubtfully related 
• Unrelated – clearly not related 
 
The following definitions are from the Masonic Cancer Center’s Standard 
Operating Procedure (SOP) Deviation Reporting: 
 
Major Deviation: A deviation or violation that impacts the risks and benefits 
of the research; may impact subject safety, affect the integrity of research 
data and/or affect a subject’s willingness to participate in the research. 
Deviations that place a subject at risk, but do not result in harm are 
considered to be major deviations. 
 
Minor Deviation: A deviation or violation that does not impact subject safety, 
compromise the integrity of research data and/or affect a subject’s 
willingness to participate in the research. 
10.2 AE Documentation Requirements 
Adverse event collection for the purposes of this study will focus on events 
felt to be related to N-803 or events that cannot be attributed to other causes 
(i.e. transplant-related, co-morbidities).  
 
At visits through the End of Treatment visit a targeted toxicity worksheet 
(Appendix IV) will be completed to document select expected toxicities 
associated with N-803 as follows: 
• Prior to each planned N-803 injection 


MT2016-07:  Relapse Prophylaxis with N-803 Following RIC Allogeneic Stem Cell for AML and MDS 
 
 
 
 
 
 
April 14, 2022 
Page 36 of 57 
CPRC #2016LS058 
 
• At the end of dose monitoring period (as described in Section 6.1) 
with ±20 minute window for 2 hour monitoring or ±10 minute window 
for 30 minute monitoring 
• Day 8 and Day 15 visits after 1st dose only 
• At the End of Treatment visit 
 
In addition, unexpected events and expected events that are not listed in 
Section 9.7 or the consent form or the IB must also be documented. 
 
Note: if a patient is not abiding by the standard of care study calendar 
(Section 8.1), collection of the corresponding targeted events also may be 
altered or discontinued on an individual patient basis, as appropriate.  
 
After the End of Treatment visit, monitoring for adverse events will become 
less frequent based on the schedule in Section 8.1 and only events that are 
unexpected and at least possibly related to N-803 will be documented upon 
knowledge.  
10.3 SAE Documentation and Reporting 
Any event meeting the definition of an SAE must be documented using the 
paper MCC SAE Report Form. 
 
Any event meeting the definition of serious must be reported to Masonic 
Cancer Center Multisite Program Manager within 24 hours of knowledge. 
Refer to Section 10.6. 
10.4 Early Stopping Rule Event Documentation and Reporting Requirements 
The following event counts toward an early study stopping rule and must be 
reported to the MCC Multisite Program Manager using the Event Form 
found OnCore under the reports tab: 
• Grade III or IV acute GVHD from the day of first dose of N-803 through 
Day 120 after alloHCT (refer to Appendix III for grading) 
• Grade 4 and 5 non-relapse toxicity from the day of first dose of N-803 
through Day 120 after alloHCT 
 
An event that counts toward an early stopping rule does not necessarily 
constitute a SAE and should be reported as such only if it meets the criteria 
for reporting as defined in Section 10.3.

The investigator will permit study-related monitoring, audits, and inspections by 
the study’s Principal Investigator and/or IND sponsor and/or any designees, the 
local IRB, government regulatory bodies, and University of Minnesota 
compliance groups. The investigator will make available all study related 
documents (e.g. source documents, regulatory documents, data collection 
instruments, study data, etc.). The investigator will ensure the capability for 
inspections of applicable study-related facilities (e.g. pharmacy, diagnostic 
laboratory, etc.) will be available for trial related monitoring, audits, or regulatory 
inspections. 
11.5 Teleconferences – Lead Site and Participating Sites  
Regular teleconferences will be held to facilitate communication between 
participating sites regarding the study’s progress, patient updates, summary of 
safety reports, case report form completion, and other issues for discussion. 
The University of Minnesota Multisite Program Manager is responsible for 
arranging these teleconferences and preparing the agenda. Meetings will occur 
every 2 weeks; however, these may be scheduled more or less frequently at 
the discretion of the lead institution. Participation of a minimum of one 
representative from each participating site is expected. These teleconferences 
are in addition to other previously described site interactions including 
centralized patient registration, institutional and MCC required reporting of 
safety related issues, case report form completion in the study’s central 
database (OnCore) and participating site oversight through self-monitoring in

12 Study Endpoints  
12.1 Primary Endpoint 
The primary endpoint will be cumulative incidence of relapse evaluated 
between the day of the first dose of N-803 (approximately 42 days after 
alloHCT, but as late as 60 days) and two years after alloHCT. 
12.2 Secondary Endpoints 
Secondary endpoints include safety and efficacy outcomes listed below. 
• Frequency of adverse and serious adverse events 
• Description of N-803 dose intensity based on the number of doses given 
out of the number planned (10 doses) 
• Incidence of relapse at two years after alloHCT stratified by number of 
doses of N-803 (1-3 or 4-10). 
• Incidence of Grade II-IV and Grade III-IV acute/late acute graft-versus-host-
disease (GVHD) at 100 and 180 days after alloHCT 
• Incidence of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) at one year after 
alloHCT 
• Incidence of cytogenetic and flow cytometry positive minimal residual 
disease (MRD) post-transplant (before and after N-803) 
• Overall survival at two years after alloHCT 
• Incidence of non-relapse mortality at two years after alloHCT 
 
 
13 Statistical Considerations  
13.1 Objectives and Study Design 
This is a single-arm, open-label, multi-center phase II trial with discontinuation 
for futility using IL-15 super-agonist complex (N-803) maintenance after 
alloHCT for AML and MDS. The primary objective is to determine if post-
transplant N-803 effectively reduces relapse from a historical estimate of 35% 
to 20% in the study cohort as measured by cumulative incidence of relapse 


MT2016-07:  Relapse Prophylaxis with N-803 Following RIC Allogeneic Stem Cell for AML and MDS 
 
 
 
 
 
 
April 14, 2022 
Page 43 of 57 
CPRC #2016LS058 
 
between the 1st dose of N-803 and 2 years after alloHCT. A total of 60 
subjects will be enrolled if the trial reaches conclusion. An analysis for futility 
will be carried out after 40 patients have been enrolled (without pause in 
enrollment). A secondary aim is to achieve this goal without increasing the 
frequency or severity of graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). 
 
Follow-up for disease status, toxicity, and survival will be done for 2 years 
from alloHCT (i.e., 22 months after 1st administration of N-803). Patients are 
considered evaluable if they receive the first dose of N-803.  
13.2 Statistical Analysis 
Analysis Population 
The primary analysis will be intent-to-treat in that all patients receiving the first 
dose of study drug will be evaluable for relapse. This single arm study will 
compare the cumulative incidence of relapse of N-803 treated patients to an 
historical controls estimate of 35% at 2 years. This estimate is based on data 
of AML or MDS patients from the University of Minnesota as well as data from 
the Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research 
(CIBMTR). 
 
Analysis of the Primary Endpoint 
Relapse and non-relapse mortality at 2 years and their respective 95% 
confidence intervals will be calculated using the cumulative incidence 
function, considering the other event as a competing risk18. For the final test, 
the incidence of relapse will be compared to the historical estimate of 35% 
using a one sample log-rank test with an assumed exponential distribution for 
the null hypothesis with one-sided alpha = 0.05. Interim analysis for futility will 
be carried out after 40 patients have been enrolled (without pause in 
enrollment). If the cumulative incidence of relapse is projected to be greater 
than 34%, enrollment will be suspended, otherwise enrollment will continue 
until 60 subjects have been accrued. 
 
Secondary Analysis 
Adverse events, tolerability, immunogenicity and MRD will be tabulated with 
frequencies and percentages. The function of NK cells, T cells, T regulatory 
cells and myeloid derived suppressor cells pre- and post N-803 therapy and 
cytokines will be correlated with response using the Wilcoxon rank-sum test. 
Overall survival at 2 years and its 95% confidence interval will be estimated 
by the Kaplan-Meier curve19. GVHD and their 95% confidence intervals will 
be calculated using the cumulative incidence function, with death as a 
competing risk20.

April 14, 2022 
Page 44 of 57 
CPRC #2016LS058 
 
 
Cumulative incidence of relapse at 2 years and 95% confidence intervals will 
be described for the following subgroups: patients who receive 1-3 doses of 
N-803, and patients who receive 4-10 doses of N-803. 
 
All primary and secondary outcomes will be described overall and for each 
donor type. Comparison of relapse versus historical controls will be made for 
the pooled cohort only. 
13.3 Sample Size and Power 
This study is designed as a Phase II trial to estimate relapse from 42 days to 
2 years post-transplant. We will potentially enroll a total of 60 patients with 
one interim analysis (without pause in enrollment) at 40 subjects to test for 
futility. Since the goal is to estimate the relapse at a long-term time-point (2 
years), we ran a simulated exponential model 10,000 times based on 
complete follow-up and a one-sided log-rank test through 2 years with interim 
analysis based on accrual of 40 subjects with incomplete follow-up to 
generate sample size and power estimates. 
 
Based on interim analysis of the first 40 patients, we will discontinue the trial 
if the projected cumulative incidence curve has an estimated 2 year relapse 
of >34%. Assuming the null hypothesis of 35% relapse is true, we have a 25-
50% chance of stopping the trial early due to futility depending on the rate of 
initial accrual. Assuming the alternative hypothesis of 20% relapse from 42 
days to 2 years, we have an overall power of approximately 80%.  
 
Accrual 
We expect to complete the study after 2 years of enrollment plus 2 years 
follow up after the last enrolled patient. The study was suspended in October 
2018 to rewrite the protocol using every 4 week N-803 dosing. The study re-
opened to accrual in May 2019, but was suspended in March 2020 due to 
COVID-19.  
13.4 Stopping Rules 
We hypothesize that risk of acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) and 
Grade 4-5 non-relapse toxicity following N-803 treatment could vary by donor 
type. Therefore, there will be separate stopping rules for each donor type 
(sibling, umbilical cord blood, unrelated, and haploidentical)21. If a stopping 
rule is met for one donor type, enrollment will be suspended for that group 
only. Enrollment for all other donor groups may continue until the maximum 
study size is reached. Note: overall enrollment is irrespective of donor type.

CPRC #2016LS058 
 
13.4.1 Grade III-IV acute GVHD 
Grade III-IV acute GVHD between Day 42 and Day 60 has been near 10% 
in adult alloHCT for AML and MDS. We will stop for unacceptably high 
Grade III-IV acute GVHD when 2/4, 3/9, 4/14, or 5 patients at any time are 
diagnosed in a donor group, from the day of first dose of N-803 through Day 
120 after allo-HCT. If the true acute GVHD incidence is 10% (expected), 
there is a 9% probability of stopping in a given group. If the true acute GVHD 
incidence is 30% (unacceptable), there is a 71% probability of stopping, with 
an expected number of 9 patients treated in that group. These expectations 
are based on an assumed group size of 15, but the group sizes will not be 
fixed. 
13.4.2 Grade 4 and 5 Non-Relapse Toxicity  
Grade 4 and 5 non-relapse toxicity between Day 42 and Day 60 is expected 
to be near 10% in adult alloHCT for AML and MDS. We will stop for 
unacceptably high Grade 4 and 5 non-relapse toxicity when 2/4, 3/9, 4/14, 
or 5 patients at any time have toxicity in a donor group, from the day of first 
dose of N-803 through Day 60 after alloHCT. If the true incidence of toxicity 
is 10% (expected), there is a 9% probability of stopping in a given group. If 
the true incidence is 30% (unacceptable), there is a 71% probability of 
stopping, with an expected number of 9 patients treated in that group. These 
expectations are based on an assumed group size of 15, but the group sizes 
will not be fixed. 
 
 
14 Conduct of the Study 
14.1 Good Clinical Practice 
The study will be conducted in accordance the appropriate regulatory 
requirement(s). Essential clinical documents are maintained to demonstrate

Appendix II – Disease Specific Response Criteria  
 
ACUTE MYELOGENOUS LEUKEMIA (AML) RESPONSE CRITERIA 
 
Modified RECIST 
Complete Remission (CR) 
CR requires that all of the following be present. 
• Peripheral Blood Counts 
o ANC count > 1,000/mm3 
o Platelet count > 100,000/ mm3 
o Reduced hemoglobin concentration or hematocrit has no bearing on remission status. 
o Leukemic blasts must not be present in the peripheral blood  
• Marrow Aspirate and Biopsy 
o Bone marrow biopsy must demonstrate trilineage hematopoiesis with maturation of all 
cell lines. 
o < 5% blasts 
• Extramedullary leukemia, such as CNS or soft tissue involvement, must not be present. 
 
Morphological Remission (MR) 
MR requires that the following be present: 
• Patient meets all peripheral blood and bone marrow criteria for CR, except that platelet 
count is < 100,000/mm3 but > 50,000/mm3. 
 
Relapse 
Relapse following CR is defined as: 
• Peripheral Blood Counts 
Presence of peripheral blasts. A bone marrow examination must be performed to confirm 
relapse. However, please note that the date of relapse is the first date at which the 
relapsed patient had: leukemic blasts in the peripheral blood smear, or >5% blasts in the 
bone marrow. 
• Bone Marrow Aspirate or Biopsy 
Presence of more than 5% blasts, not attributable to another cause (e.g., bone marrow 
regeneration).
