Expanded Haploidentical Natural Killer Cells as Consolidation Strategy for Children/Young Adults With AML

Phase 1
Recruiting
Conditions
Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Interventions
Biological: Expanded haploidentical NK cells
Registration Number
NCT05334693
Lead Sponsor
Belarusian Research Center for Pediatric Oncology, Hematology and Immunology
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to estimate the efficacy of immunotherapy with ex vivo expanded haploidentical NK cells as consolidation therapy for children/young adults with intermediate risk AML.

Detailed Description

Immunotherapy with NK cells may improve the treatment results in AML. For better efficiency high cell doses or several infusions of NK cells are required. For this purpose, donor NK cells are expanded in the presence of feeder K562-mbIL21-41BBL cell line. The cycle of immunotherapy includes chemotherapy (cyclophosphamide, fludarabine) followed by two doses of NK cells infusion.
