Donor Natural Killer Cells After Donor Stem Cell Transplant in Treating Patients With Advanced Cancer

February 18, 2013 updated by: Kyoo-Hyung Lee, Asan Medical Center

Donor NK Cell Infusion for Progression/Recurrence of Underlying Malignant Disorders After HLA-haploidentical HCT - a Phase 1-2 Study

RATIONALE: Giving an infusion of natural killer cells from a donor after a donor stem cell transplant may help kill any remaining cancer cells after the transplant.

PURPOSE: This phase I/II trial is studying the side effects and best dose of donor natural killer cells when given after a donor stem cell transplant in treating patients with advanced cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • To assess the safety of donor natural killer (NK) cell infusion after HLA-mismatched/haploidentical allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation from a familial donor in patients with advanced malignant disorders.
  • To determine the maximum number of donor NK cells that can be safely given to these patients.

Secondary

  • To assess the clinical efficacy donor NK cell infusion, in terms of tumor response, response duration, and survival, in patients with progressive or recurrent malignant disorders.

OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study followed by a phase II study.

  • Phase I: Patients receive an infusion of donor natural killer (NK) cells on days 18 and 21.
  • Phase II: Patients receive an infusion of donor NK cells on days 14 and 21. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically.

Description

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

  • Diagnosis of a malignant disorder (hematologic malignancies or solid tumors)

    • Advanced disease
  • Has undergone prior allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) from an HLA-mismatched/haploidentical familial donor

  • Progressive or recurrent disease, as defined by any of the following (phase II):

    • Peripheral blood blast > 20% with bone marrow aspirate showing > 5% leukemic cells (in patients with acute leukemia)
    • Detection of metaphases in the marrow with the same clonal cytogenetic abnormalities as identified before HSCT (or by FISH markers, if appropriate) (in patients with acute leukemia or high-risk myelodysplastic syndromes [MDS])
    • Persistent cytopenia with bone marrow aspirate showing various degrees of dysplasia involving ≥ 1 cell lineage (in patients with high-risk MDS)
    • Enlargement of pre-existing measurable lesions by 20% according to RECIST criteria (in patients with solid tumors or lymphoma)
    • Appearance of new metastatic lesions, including pleural effusion or ascites, radiologically typical for metastases or confirmed as such by cytology (in patients with solid tumors or lymphoma)
  • Measurable disease (phase II)

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:

  • Karnofsky performance status 70-100%
  • Total bilirubin < 3.0 mg/dL
  • AST < 5 times upper limit of normal
  • Creatinine < 3 mg/dL
  • Not pregnant or nursing
  • No clinically evident cardiac or pulmonary failure
