Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 75 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Participants will receive 1.0 x 106 cells/kg (0.75-1.25 x 106 cells/kg) Artificial Antigen Presenting Cell (AAPC)-expanded donor T-cells administered as a single infusion
Biological: Gamma Delta T-Cell Infusion
Donor cells will be processed in a laboratory, where T-cell subtype called γδ (gamma delta) T-cells will be isolated and expanded in number. These T-cells expanded in a laboratory will be infused in participants who are otherwise at high risk of AML recurrence after alloHCT.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Maximum Tolerated Dose
Time Frame: Up to 12 months
Maximum Tolerated Dose will be determined by testing increasing doses of AAPC-expanded donor γδ T-cells.
Up to 12 months
Dose Expansion: Leukemia Free Survival

Leukemia-free survival is defined as the time from the date of start of treatment to the date of relapse of AML or death from any cause
Up to 12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
