About this study

Official title: A Phase I Trial Testing NAM Expanded Haploidentical or Mismatched Related Donor Natural Killer (NK) Cells Followed by a Short Course of IL-2 for the Treatment of Relapsed/Refractory Multiple Myeloma and Relapsed/Refractory CD20+ Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma

This is a phase I trial with pilot expansion of HLA-haploidentical or HLA-mismatched related donor nicotinamide expanded-natural killer (NAM-NK) cell based therapy for patients with relapsed or refractory multiple myeloma (MM) or relapsed/refractory CD20-positive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL). The primary endpoint of the study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of NAM-NK cells while maintaining safety.

What participants receive

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

  • Nicotinamide Expanded Haploidentical or Mismatched Related Donor Natural Killer CellsBiological

    Also called NAM-NK

    • Cyclophosphamide 40 mg/kg x 1 day on Day -5
    • Fludarabine 25 mg/m^2 x 3 days (Day -5, Day -4, day-3)
Study groups in NCT03019666
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Multiple MyelomaExperimentalAfter a lymphodepleting preparative regimen of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, patients receive expanded NAM-NK cells followed by a short course of interleukin-2 (IL-2) to facilitate natural killer cell survival and expansion in vivo. Monoclonal antibodies and elotuzumab for Multiple Myeloma patients, will be administered prior to and after the natural killer cell infusion(s) to facilitate tumor targeting and antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC).
Receives: Biological: Nicotinamide Expanded Haploidentical or Mismatched Related Donor Natural Killer Cells
Non-Hodgkin LymphomaExperimentalAfter a lymphodepleting preparative regimen of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, patients receive expanded NAM-NK cells followed by a short course of interleukin-2 (IL-2) to facilitate natural killer cell survival and expansion in vivo. Monoclonal antibodies and rituximab for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma patients, will be administered prior to and after the natural killer cell infusion(s) to facilitate tumor targeting and antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Nicotinamide Expanded Haploidentical or Mismatched Related Donor Natural Killer Cells in people with Multiple Myeloma and Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma, 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?

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 4 Nov 2022. 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 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.

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 of any grade 4 or greater suspected adverse reaction (time frame: 24 hours post infusion). 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 NCT03019666, 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 4 Nov 2022.
