Trial summary

Experimental and clinical data suggest that alloreactive NK cells can reduce the risk of graft-rejection, GvHD and leukemic relapse after HLA-mismatched transplantation. The effectiveness of allogeneic NK cells is a function of HLA-differences between donor and recipient that give rise to NK cell clones which do not… Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Transplantation of Hematopoetic Stem Cells and Infusion of CD56+CD3- NK Cells From Haploidentical Donors for Patients With Hematological Malignancies

Experimental and clinical data suggest that alloreactive NK cells can reduce the risk of graft-rejection, GvHD and leukemic relapse after HLA-mismatched transplantation. The effectiveness of allogeneic NK cells is a function of HLA-differences between donor and recipient that give rise to NK cell clones which do not express inhibitory receptors matching for the HLA molecules of the recipient. Aim of the study is to evaluate cellular therapy with alloreactive, IL-2 activated NK cells after transplantation of T-cell depleted stem cell grafts from one haplotype mismatched family donors in patients with hematological malignancies.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Haploidentical transplantation with donor NK cellsBiological

    Pat received a myeloablative conditioning regimen with 12 Gy total-body irradiation in six single doses from day -11 to day -9, thiotepa (5mg/kg/d) on days -8 and -7, fludarabine (40mg/m2/d) from day -6 to day -3, and OKT-3 (5mg/d) from day -5 to day +3. The stem cell graft was aimed to contain > 8 x 10e6 CD34+ cells/kg and < 5 x 10e4 CD3+ cells/kg. A minimum of 1 x 10e7 CD56+CD3- NK cells/kg will be transferred on days +2.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To evaluate feasibility and safety of alloreactive CD56+/CD3- donor NK cells after one haplotype mismatched transplantation

    To evaluate feasibility and safety of cellular immunotherapy with purified alloreactive CD56+/CD3- donor NK cells after one haplotype mismatched hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with high risk hematological malignancies who lack an HLA-identical donor.

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. transplant related mortality

    The investigation of transplant related mortality (incidence of veno occlusive disease; incidence and type of infectious complications).

    Measured: 1 year

  2. effectiveness

    To evaluate the effectiveness of the therapy (relapse rate; disease free survival; MRD monitoring).

    Measured: 2 years

  3. technical aspects of the cell separation procedure

    To investigate technical aspects of the cell separation procedure (problems of stem cell mobilization; yield, viability, sterility and purity of the CD34+ and CD56+CD3- cell fraction; log CD3 depletion; in vitro anti-leukemic activity of the CD56+CD3- cell fraction).

    Measured: 7 days

  4. stable engraftment of haploidentical stem cell grafts can be achieved after conditioning with total body irradiation, thiotepa, fludarabine and OKT3 and subsequent transfer of megadoses of positively selected CD34+ stem cells and CD56+CD3- NK-cells.

    Graft rejection is defined as neutrophils < 0.5 x 10e9/l on day+28 post transplantation.

    Measured: 28 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Haploidentical transplantation with donor NK cells in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemias and Advanced Hematological Malignancies, run by Charite University, Berlin, Germany at 2 sites in Germany.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 15 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Oct 2010. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Germany. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Lutz Uharek, MD (+49308445 ext. 4550, lutz.uharek@charite.de), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

To evaluate feasibility and safety of alloreactive CD56+/CD3- donor NK cells after one haplotype mismatched transplantation (time frame: 1 year). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Oct 2010.
