About this study

Official title: A Phase I/II Clinical Trial of NK Cells Administration to Prevent Disease Relapse for Patient With High-Risk Myeloid Malignancies Undergoing Haploidentical Stem-Cell Transplantation

This phase I/II studies the side effects and best dose of natural killer cells before and after donor stem cell transplant and to see how well they work in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia, myelodysplastic syndrome, or chronic myelogenous leukemia. Giving chemotherapy with or without total body irradiation before a donor peripheral blood stem cell or bone marrow transplant helps stop the growth of cancer cells. It may also stop the patient's immune system from rejecting the donor's stem cells. When the healthy stem cells and natural killer cells from a donor are infused into the patient they may help the patient's bone marrow make stem cells, red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

  1. To evaluate safety, tolerability and identify the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of expanded natural killer (NK) cells to be used in patients with myeloid malignancies undergoing a haploidentical stem-cell transplant.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

  1. To determine survival of NK cells in vivo post-transplant. II. To determine the function of NK cells post-transplant and compare with a retrospective control treated with no NK cells.

III. To estimate the proportion of patients with engraftment/graft failure. IV. To estimate the non-relapse mortality (NRM) at day 100 post-transplant. V. To estimate the cumulative incidence of grade III-IV aGVHD (acute graft-versus-host disease) at day 100.

VI. To assess the rate of chronic graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) within the first year post transplantation.

VII. To assess immune reconstitution post-transplant. VIII. To assess disease response, disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) after transplantation.

IX. To perform a retrospective comparison of patients treated on the study with NK cells will be performed with a Center for International Blood and Marrow Transplant Research (CIBMTR) control of similar patients who did not receive NK cells.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study of NK cells followed by a phase II study. Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 conditioning regimens.

MYELOABLATIVE CONDITIONING REGIMEN: Patients receive high-dose melphalan intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes on day -7, fludarabine IV over 1 hour on days -7 to -4, undergo total-body irradiation (TBI) on day -3, and NK cells IV over 30 minutes on day -2 or -1.

NON-MYELOABLATIVE CONDITIONING REGIMEN: Patients receive melphalan IV over 30 minutes on day -7, fludarabine IV over 1 hour on days -7 to -4, undergo TBI on day -3, and receive NK cells IV over 30 minutes on day -2 or -1.

TRANSPLANT: Patients undergo allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) or bone marrow transplant on day 0.

POST-TRANSPLANT CYCLOPHOSPHAMIDE AND GVHD PROPHYLAXIS: Patients receive cyclophosphamide IV over 3 hours on days 3 and 4, tacrolimus IV beginning on day 5 for 2 weeks and then orally (PO) for approximately 4 months, and mycophenolate mofetil PO thrice daily (TID) beginning on day 5 for approximately 6-7 months.

NK CELLS: Patients receive NK cells IV over 30 minutes on days 7 and 28-90.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 2 years.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation, Bone Marrow Transplantation and Cyclophosphamide in people with Accelerated Phase Chronic Myelogenous Leukemia, BCR-ABL1 Positive and Acute Myeloid Leukemia Arising From Previous Myelodysplastic Syndrome, run by M.D. Anderson Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.

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 13 inclusion and 6 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jan 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 17 Jan 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Dose Limiting Toxicities (DLTs) (time frame: Up to day 70 post-transplant). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT01904136, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 24 Jan 2024.
