Frequently asked questions about N-803

What is N-803 used for?

N-803 is an investigational IL-15 superagonist being studied for multiple cancers, including relapsed or refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, B-cell Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, bladder cancer, non-muscle invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC), non-small cell lung cancer, and pancreatic cancer. It is also being evaluated in trials for platinum-resistant ovarian cancer and Long COVID.

How does N-803 work?

N-803 targets IL-15, a cytokine that stimulates the immune system. As an IL-15 superagonist, it is designed to enhance the activity of natural killer cells and T cells, which may help the body fight cancer. The drug is being studied in combination with other therapies, such as BCG for bladder cancer.

Who makes N-803?

N-803 is developed by ImmunityBio, Inc., a biopharmaceutical company traded on NASDAQ under the ticker IBRX. The company is conducting clinical trials of N-803 across multiple indications, including bladder cancer and lymphoma.

What phase is N-803 in?

N-803 is in Phase 1 and Phase 2 clinical trials. It is not FDA approved and remains investigational. Active trials include a Phase 1 study in relapsed or refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and Phase 2 studies in bladder cancer, ovarian cancer, and Long COVID.

What clinical trials is N-803 in?

N-803 is being studied in several trials, including NCT03022825, a Phase 2 trial of intravesical BCG plus N-803 in BCG-unresponsive high-grade non-muscle invasive bladder cancer, and NCT05618925, a Phase 1 trial in relapsed or refractory Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Other trials include NCT06710288 in ovarian cancer and NCT07108036 in Long COVID.

Is N-803 the same as ALT-803?

N-803 is also known as ALT-803, as referenced in the QUILT-3.032 trial title. It is an IL-15 superagonist developed by ImmunityBio. The drug is referred to by multiple names, including N803 and N-803 (IL-15 Superagonist), across different studies.
