Early Prophylactic Donor Lymphocyte Infusion After Allo-HSCT for Patients With AML
A Phase 2 study testing prophylactic donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by Institut Paoli-Calmettes at 1 site in France.
Trial summary
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) is a curative option for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, transplantation related toxicity and mortality as well as the existence of HLA identical sibling donor represent major limitations. Read more about this study

About this study
Official title: Comparative Phase II Trial of Early Prophylactic Donor Lymphocyte Infusion After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Patients With Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT) is a curative option for patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, transplantation related toxicity and mortality as well as the existence of HLA identical sibling donor represent major limitations. Over the 20 past years, the development of reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) regimen and the use of alternative donors allowed extending the possibility of Allo-HSCT for AML, with decreased toxicity and mortality. This invited to propose this strategy to more advanced patients, making that AML recurrence has become one of the main issues after Allo-HSCT. Thus, to develop prophylactic and preemptive strategies to minimize disease recurrence after Allo-HSCT is now the main challenge in the field. Among cellular and/or pharmacological treatments after Allo-HSCT, donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) is probably one of the most commonly used treatments after Allo-HSCT. Indeed, DLI were reported as a potential efficient immunotherapy more than 20 years ago for the treatment of patients with leukemia relapsing after Allo-HSCT. However, most of experiences were reported in the setting of relapse after Allo-HSCT and no prospective evaluation of prophylactic DLI is available so far. Thus no strong recommendation for the use of DLI after Allo-HSCT can be made. Our study proposal would like to assess the question of prophylactic DLI efficacy, as a proof of concept of early immune intervention after Allo-HSCT. The investigators, therefore, designed a prospective multicenter randomized trial evaluating the impact of early DLI on outcome after Allo-HSCT for AML.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
prophylactic donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI)Biological
DLI will be collected from the donor by leukapheresis according to local standard procedures of each center. Cell product could be collected in one time or more, and administered fresh or after a frozen storage, according to each center's guidelines. A sufficient amount of T-cell dose should be collected to theoretically perform 3 DLI. DLI procedure will be performed according to local guidelines of each center.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Arm A-DLI | Experimental | Patients will be planned to receive prophylactic Donor Lymphocyte Injection Receives: Biological: prophylactic donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) |
| Arm B- No intervention | No intervention | Not described |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Relapse-free survival (RFS) at 2 years after randomization
RElpase-free survival will be evaluated in an intent-to-treat analysis by Kaplan Meier estimate and Log Rank test. Survival will be calculated from the date of randomization
Measured: 2 years

Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 7 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: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Sep 2026. 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 France. 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 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?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
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?
Relapse-free survival (RFS) at 2 years after randomization (time frame: 2 years). 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 29 Sep 2026.
