Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Determining how well NK enriched immune cells can be tolerated in patients. Safety and toxicity will be determined based on Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAEs) guideline. Timepoint: The period between the first injection and 2 months after the last injection. Method of measurement: According to the CTCAEs [Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events].

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Immunological responses in the patients. Timepoint: The period between the first injection and 2 months after the last injection. Method of measurement: The flowcytometeric analysis of different immune cells percentage including B, T (CD4+ and CD8+), NK subsets, CD4+ regulatory T cells in PBMCs isolated from the patients.
