Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of infusing natural killer cells from a donor as treatment for patients with acute myeloid leukemia in remission or who have experienced relapse.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Natural killer (NK) cells extracted from a \[parental\] donor are infused intravenously. Most patients are given a multi-agent chemotherapeutic conditioning regimen prior to the infusion. The conditioning regimen may be omitted for patients who have previously received traditional stem cell transplant.

Details of Treatment Plan:

Stratum 1 (AML in complete remission)

Cyclophosphamide 60 mg/kg IV Day -7 Fludarabine 25 mg/m2/day IV Days -6 through -2 Donor pheresis Day -1 Start IL-2 on Day -1, then 3 times per week x 2 weeks NK Cell purification and infusion on Day 0

Stratum 2 (AML that is refractory or relapsed or AML with increasing minimal residual disease)

Clofarabine 40 mg/m2 IV, days -6 through -2 Etoposide 100 mg/m2 IV, days -6 through -2 Cyclophosphamide 400 mg/m2 IV, days -6 through 02 Donor pheresis Day -1 Start IL-2 Day -1, and then 3 times per week x 2 weeks NK Cell purification and infusion on Day 0.

For patients who have received prior SCT, the conditioning regimen may be omitted if the NK cells are obtained from the original SCT donor.

Cytokine regimen (stratum 1 and 2): 1 million units/m2 of IL-2 given subcutaneously three times per week for two weeks (6 doses) starting on the evening of day -1.

NK Cell Transplantation (stratum 1 and 2): NK cells from haplo-identical family donor will be infused on day 0.
