Brief Summary

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

Relapse after an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is high in patients with advanced AML, in the 50% range. NK cells have been shown to possess significant anti-leukemic activity and may be used to reduce the incidence of relapse in patients with advanced AML.

Investigators hypothesize that the administration of a purified boost of NK cells on day +7 post HSCT, will reduce the incidence of relapse from the current 50% to 25%. In a phase III multicenter clinical study, 116 patients will be randomized to receive or not a boost of donor NK cells on day +7 post-HSCT. The first 10 patients in the experimental arm will be analyzed for toxicity. The stopping rule will be a transplant related mortality of more than 50% in the first 20 patients who received NK cells.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Haplo-stem cell transplant followed by NK infusion

Haplo stem cell transplant (from bone marrow or apheresis) is followed by a haplo-NK cell infusion (target dose ≥1\*106/kg b.w.) at day 7.

Unstimulated haplo-NK cells are collected through apheresis Mononuclear cells are then subjected to a preliminary negative selection of CD3+ cells and to a subsequent positive selection of CD56+ cells. CD3 negative/CD56 positive cells are infused

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Haplo SCT with NK cells

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Patients in this arm receive haplo-SCT followed by one boost of NK cells one/two weeks after the transplant. Lymphocyte are collected by apheresis from the donor one-two weeks after BM harvest. CD3 negative/CD56 positive cells are selected by immunomagnetic columns (other lymphocytes are stored to be used as DLI)

Haplo-stem cell transplant

Patients in this arm receive standard haplo stem cell transplant (from bone marrow or apheresis) transplant without subsequent NK cell infusion.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Haplo SCT

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Patients in this arm receive a standard haplo-SCT. All administerd therapies are the same as in other arm, except for the NK cell boost..
