Official title
Immunotherapy With ex Vivo Expanded Haploidentical Natural Killer Cells for Children/Young Adults With High-risk, Refractory or Relapsed AML
Overview
The purpose of this study is to estimate the efficacy of immunotherapy with ex vivo expanded haploidentical NK cells for children/young adults with primary high risk or refractory AML and relapsed AML.
Detailed description
Immunotherapy with NK cells may improve the treatment results in AML. For better efficiency high cell doses or several infusions of NK cells are required. For this purpose, donor NK cells are expanded in the presence of feeder K562-mbIL21-41BBL cell line.
For patients with high-risk primary AML a cycle of immunotherapy includes chemotherapy (HD-ARA-C+IDA) followed by three doses of NK cells infusion.
For patients with refractory/relapsed AML a cycle of immunotherapy includes chemotherapy (FLAG - fludarabine, cytarabine, G-CSF) followed by three doses of NK cells infusion.
A 2nd cycle of therapy may be administered if a recipient continues to meet the eligibility criteria.
Interventions
- Biological NK cell infusions
Three doses of expanded haploidentical NK cells (30-100 x 10\^6 cells /kg).
Primary outcome measures
- Objective Response Rate (ORR) (PR+ MLFS+CRi +CR) [Time frame: 30 days after every a course of NK immunotherapy]
- Leukemia-free survival (LFS) [Time frame: 1 year]
- Overall survival (OS) [Time frame: 1 year]
Secondary outcome measures (2)
- Duration of persistence of infused NK cells [Time frame: 21 days after the first infusion]
- Number of T, B, NK, activated T and NK cells after immunotherapy [Time frame: 30 days after the first infusion]
