About this study

Official title: A Prospective Phase I/IIa, Open-label, Multicenter Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of oNKord®, an Off-the-shelf, ex Vivo-cultured Allogeneic NK Cell Preparation, in Subjects With Acute Myeloid Leukemia Who Are in Morphologic Complete Remission With Measurable Residual Disease and Who Are Currently Not Proceeding to Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

WiNK is a Phase I/IIa trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oNKord® in 33 adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are in morphologic complete remission with residual measurable disease and who are currently not proceeding to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Read the detailed description

WiNK is a prospective 2-stage, open-label, single arm, multicenter Phase I/IIa trial to evaluate the safety and efficacy of oNKord®, an off-the-shelf, ex vivo-cultured allogeneic NK cell preparation, in 33 adults with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who are in morphologic complete remission (CR) with residual measurable disease (MRD) and who are currently not proceeding to allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT).

Following informed consent and eligibility procedures, subjects enrolled in the trial will receive a lymphodepleting conditioning regimen consisting of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine (Cy/Flu) followed by up to 3 oNKord® infusions 4 days apart.

Stage A of the trial (dose escalation stage) is designed to assess the safety and tolerability of up to 3 oNKord® infusions, 4 days apart, in 3 cohorts of 3 subjects, and to determine the oNKord® recommended Phase II dose (RP2D) to be used in Stage B.

Stage B of the trial (expansion stage) will evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of oNKord® at the RP2D in 24 subjects.

All subjects treated with oNKord® will be followed up until 12 months after the start of treatment. Eligibility criteria for participation in the trial and follow-up duration are the same for subjects in both Stage A and Stage B.

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety and tolerability of oNKord® using the cumulative incidence of the adverse events of special interest (AESI)

    AESI include: Grade 3 to 4 infusion-related toxicity of oNKord®, as rated by CTCAE v5.0; Acute GVHD grade III and IV; CRS and ICANS ≥ Grade 2, as rated by the ASTCT Consensus Grading

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  2. Efficacy of oNKord® using the cumulative incidence of MRD response as assessed by centralized assessment in bone marrow

    Subjects with responses are defined as MRD negative subjects still in morphologic CR at any time during the follow-up period of the trial after receiving oNKord® at RP2D

    Measured: Up to 12 months

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Safety and tolerability of the overall trial treatment (Cy/Flu in combination with up to three oNKord® infusions) using the cumulative incidence of AESI

    AESI include: Grade 3 to 4 infusion-related toxicity of oNKord® as rated by CTCAE v5.0; Acute GVHD grade III and IV; CRS and ICANS ≥ Grade 2 as rated by the ASTCT Consensus Grading; Hemorrhagic cystitis; Death related to the overall trial treatment; Incidence and severity of viral, fungal, and bacterial infections with onset during the first two months following conditioning initiation, including viral reactivations, and infection related mortality defined as death due to infectious disease

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  2. Efficacy of the overall trial treatment (Cy/Flu in combination with oNKord® at RP2D) on event-free survival (EFS)

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  3. Efficacy of the overall trial treatment (Cy/Flu in combination with oNKord® at RP2D) on cumulative incidence of relapse (CIR)

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  4. Efficacy of the overall trial treatment (Cy/Flu in combination with oNKord® at RP2D) on the duration of MRD response

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  5. Efficacy of the overall trial treatment (Cy/Flu in combination with oNKord® at RP2D) on overall survival (OS)

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  6. Changes in Quality of Life (EORT QLQ-C30)

    Measured: Up to 12 months

  7. Changes in Quality of Life (SF-36)

    Measured: Up to 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Cyclophosphamide-Fludarabine (Cy/Flu) and oNKord® in people with Acute Myeloid Leukemia, run by Glycostem Therapeutics BV at 10 sites in 5 countries.

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 25 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 21 Jun 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 10 sites in Germany, Belgium, Switzerland, France, Netherlands. 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 Kai Pinkernell, MD (+31(0) 412 211 001, medical@glycostem.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Safety and tolerability of oNKord® using the cumulative incidence of the adverse events of special interest (AESI) (time frame: Up to 12 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04632316, 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 21 Jun 2022.
