About this study

This is a pilot clinical trial investigating the addition of haploidentical natural killer cell infusion to autologous stem cell transplantation. This intervention will be evaluated in children with high-risk solid tumors for whom autologous transplantation is indicated. Natural killer cells from a haploidentical family member will be given after high dose chemotherapy and positively selected autologous stem cells. In patients with neuroblastoma, the anti-GD2 antibody hu14.18K322A will also be given. The effect on normal hematopoietic cell recovery will be evaluated and survival of children treated with this approach will be determined.

The investigators expect to enroll 36 participants. Haploidentical family members (donors) will also be recruited to provide natural killer cells.

What participants receive

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

  • CD133+ selected autologous stem cell infusionBiological

    Also called Natural killer (NK) cell infusion

    Hematopoietic stem cells will be collected from children with high-risk solid tumors. After collection, they will be immuno-magnetically selected using CD133 as a marker in efforts to reduce tumor cell contamination in the stem cell graft. After high dose chemotherapy, those selected stem cells will be infused, followed shortly thereafter by an infusion of haploidentical natural killer cells.

  • IL-2Biological

    Also called Interleukin-2, Aldesleukin, Proleukin(R)

    Following infusion of haploidentical natural killer cells, interleukin-2 (IL-2) subcutaneously (SQ) will be given to support the in vivo survival of donor NK cells.

  • hu14.18K322ABiological

    Also called anti-GD2 antibody, Hu14.18K322MAB

    Participants with neuroblastoma (Group A) will receive hu14.18K322A intravenously (IV).

  • BusulfanDrug

    Also called Busulfex(R), Myleran(R)

    Given IV - Group A only.

  • MelphalanDrug

    Also called L-phenylalanine mustard, Phenylalanine mustard, L-PAM, L-sarcolysin

    Given IV - All groups.

  • GM-CSFBiological

    Also called Sargramostim, Leukine(R)

    Given SQ - All groups.

  • BendamustineDrug

    Also called Treanda®, Bendamustine hydrochloride

    Given IV - Group B only.

  • EtoposideDrug

    Also called VP-16, Vepesid(R)

    Given IV - Group B and Group C. In case of etoposide reactions, etoposide phosphate will be given.

  • CytarabineDrug

    Also called ARA-C

    Given IV - Group B only.

  • CarboplatinDrug

    Also called Inorganic heavy metal coordination complex

    Given IV - Group C only.

  • Haploidentical natural killer cell infusionDevice

    Also called NK cell infusion

    NK cell product will be collected from donors using leukapheresis procedures. The autologous hematopoietic stem cell graft product will be positively selected using the investigational CliniMACS device and CD133 Microbead reagent. Following standard laboratory procedures, the NK cell product will be enumerated and assessed for viable cell content. NK cells will be infused by slow IV push over 3 to 15 minutes immediately after processing, evaluation and release testing.

  • G-CSFBiological

    Also called Filgrastim, Neupogen(R)

    Given SQ - All Groups.

  • Etoposide phosphateDrug

    Also called Etopophos(R)

    In case of etoposide reactions, etoposide phosphate will be given IV. - Group B and Group C only.

  • CliniMACSDevice

    Also called Cell Selection System

    The mechanism of action of the CliniMACS Cell Selection System is based on magnetic-activated cell sorting (MACS). The CliniMACS device is a powerful tool for the isolation of many cell types from heterogeneous cell mixtures, (e.g. apheresis products). These can then be separated in a magnetic field using an immunomagnetic label specific for the cell type of interest, such as CD3+ human T cells.

What is being measured

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

  1. Percent of participants with positive ANC engraftment

    Feasibility will be determined based on ANC engraftment defined as ANC ≥500/mm^3 for 3 consecutive tests performed on different days evaluated before day 35 post-transplant. If the study is considered feasible, the ANC engraftment rate will be 100% (95% Blyth-Still-Casella (BSC) CI: 76.45%-100%) without any failure, 92% (BSC 95% CI: 65.11%-99.57%) with 1 failure, and 83% (BSC 95% CI: 55%-96.95%) with 2 failures. In addition, if more than 2 (≥ 3) on-therapy patients die due to any protocol treatment-related causes during the first 12 months post-transplant across all groups (3 deaths among 36 participants), the study will be stopped. Deaths due to treatment not specified in this protocol will not be included in evaluation of this stopping rule.

    Measured: Day 35 post transplant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing CD133+ selected autologous stem cell infusion, IL-2 and hu14.18K322A in people with Neuroblastoma and Lymphoma, run by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital 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 5 inclusion and 0 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 22 Dec 2017. 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 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.

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

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Percent of participants with positive ANC engraftment (time frame: Day 35 post transplant). 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 22 Dec 2017.
