Contemplated immunotherapies include co-administration of an activated NK cell that is further genetically modified and a cancer therapeutic agent. In preferred embodiments, activated NK cells are further modified to taNK cells, which include a chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) with affinity for a cancer specific antigen, a cancer associated antigen, or a tumor specific antigen. Activated NK cells can also be further genetically modified to include high affinity Fc receptor CD16a (V158). Appropriate cancer therapeutic agents include chemotherapeutic drugs (e.g., nant-paclitaxel) or cancer targeted antibodies (e.g., trastuzumab). |
