About this study

Official title: HLA-Haploidentical Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation and Subsequent Donor Natural Killer Cell Infusion in Refractory Acute Leukemia - A Phase 1-2a STUDY

The protocol treatment is to evaluate clinical effects of donor-derived natural killer cells that are given after HLA-mismatched hematopoietic cell transplantation.

Read the detailed description

Those patients with acute leukemia, which is not responding to coventional chemotherapy, will be treated. The clinical effects will be evaulated in terms of safety (side effects) and anti-leukemia effect.

What participants receive

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

  • donor natural killer cell infusionBiological

    • Donor NK cells will be generated at the GCP laboratory at Asan Institute of Life Science by a team from Stem Cell Research Center, Korea Research Institute of Bioscience and Biotechnology.
    • The patients will receive donor NK cell infusion (DNKI) around on days 6 and 9 (generated from the first collection), and around on days 13 and 20 (generated from the second collection).
    • For DNKI to be given on days 6 and 9, a 3-patient cohort each will receive escalating dose of 2x10e7/kg, 5x10e7/kg, 1x10e8/kg, and 1-4 x10e8 cells.
    • The dose of DNKI to be given on days 13 and 20 will be 1-4 x10e8/kg.

What is being measured

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

  1. occurrence and severity of side effects of donor natural killer cell infusion

    Measured: 1 year

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. anti-leukemia effect of donor natural killer cell infusion

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing donor natural killer cell infusion in people with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia and Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, 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?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 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 31 Dec 2015. 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?

occurrence and severity of side effects of donor natural killer cell infusion (time frame: 1 year). 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 NCT01795378, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 31 Dec 2015.
