About this study

Official title: MT2014-25: Haploidentical Donor Natural Killer (NK) Cell Infusion With Subcutaneous Recombinant Human IL-15 (rhIL-15) in Adults With Refractory or Relapsed Acute Myelogenous Leukemia (AML)

A phase II trial of CD3/CD19 depleted, IL-15 activated, donor natural killer (NK) cells in adults and subcutaneous IL-15 given after a preparative regimen for the treatment of relapsed or refractory acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). The primary objective is to study the potential efficacy of NK cells and IL-15 to achieve complete remission while maintaining safety.

What participants receive

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

  • IL-15Biological

    Also called Interleukin-15

    Preparative Regimen:

    Fludarabine 25 mg/m2 x 5 days start day -6 Cyclophosphamide 60 mg/kg x 2 days on day -5 and -4 (if < 4 months from prior transplant, omit day -4 dose)

    IL-15 Activated Donor NK Cells:

    The apheresis product (collected day -1) will be enriched for NK cells with the large-scale CliniMacs® device (Miltenyi) by depletion of CD3+ cells to remove T-lymphocytes and depletion of CD19+ cells to remove B-lymphocytes. The NK cell enriched product will be activated by overnight incubation with10 ng/ml IL-15 under GMP conditions and infused on day 0.

    IL-15 to Facilitate NK Cell Survival and Expansion:

    IL-15 at 2 mcg/kg subcutaneously (SC) beginning day +1, once a day for 5 days followed by a 2 day rest, and then once a day for 5 days for 10 doses total

What is being measured

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

  1. < 5% Marrow Blast, no Circulating Peripheral Blasts and Neutrophil Count of > 1 x 10^9/L

    Without platelet recovery

    Measured: Day 42 post NK cell infusion

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. In Vivo Expansion (>100) of NK Cells (Defined at CD56+/CD3- Lymphocytes)

    Measured: Day 14 post NK cell infusion

  2. Proportion of Patients Experiencing Grade, 3, 4, and 5 Toxicities (Assessed by CTCAE v. 4)

    Measured: Days 1-5 and Days 8-12, 24 hours after the last IL-15 dose, Day +28, Day +42

  3. Treatment Related Mortality

    Measured: 6 months post-therapy

  4. Number of Subjects Achieving Complete Response, Defined as in Vivo Donor Derived NK Cell Expansion of > 100 Donor Derived NK Cells.

    Measured: Day 42 post NK cell infusion

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing IL-15 in people with Acute Myelogenous Leukemia, run by Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota 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 12 inclusion and 20 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 20 Feb 2018. 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 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Jan 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

< 5% Marrow Blast, no Circulating Peripheral Blasts and Neutrophil Count of > 1 x 10^9/L (time frame: Day 42 post NK cell infusion). 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 NCT02395822, 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 20 Feb 2018.
