About this study

Official title: Donor NK Cell Infusion for Progression/Recurrence of Underlying Malignant Disorders After HLA-haploidentical HCT - a Phase 1-2 Study

RATIONALE: Giving an infusion of natural killer cells from a donor after a donor stem cell transplant may help kill any remaining cancer cells after the transplant.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of donor natural killer cells when given after a donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with advanced cancer.

Read the detailed description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To assess the safety of donor natural killer (NK) cell infusion after HLA-mismatched/haploidentical allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from a familial donor in patients with advanced malignant disorders.
  • To determine the maximum number of donor NK cells that can be safely given to these patients.

Secondary

  • To assess the clinical efficacy donor NK cell infusion, in terms of tumor response, response duration, and survival, in patients with progressive or recurrent malignant disorders.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study followed by a phase II study.

  • Phase I: Patients receive an infusion of donor natural killer (NK) cells on days 18 and 21.
  • Phase II: Patients receive an infusion of donor NK cells on days 14 and 21. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing donor natural killer cell infusion in people with Brain and Central Nervous System Tumors and Chronic Myeloproliferative Disorders, run by Asan Medical Center at 1 site in South Korea.

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

Who may be eligible to take part?

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 20 Feb 2013. 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 South Korea. 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?

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?

Safety (time frame: 15 days to 1 year after transplantation). 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 20 Feb 2013.
