Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| To assess the safety of activated and expanded NK cell (NKAE) immunotherapy after salvage chemotherapy in patients with relapsed or refractary acute leukemia | 2 months after infusion | Number of patients with adverse events according to NCI-CTCAE v4.0 CRITERIA as a measure of safety and tolerability |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Incidence of episodes of febrile neutropenia, bacteriemia or viral or fungal infections | End of infusion and follow-up (2 months and 1 year) |
| Days of hematological recovery (neutrophils >500/microL, lymphocytes >250/microL and platelets >50.000/microL), days of hospitalization, in each cycle Immune | End of infusion and follow-up (2 months and 1 year) |
| Objective response rate according to cytomorphic and by minimal residual disease criteria (cytometry and/or real time PCR) at the end of the treatment | End of infusion and follow-up (2 months and 1 year) |
| Immune reconstitution: Median of T-cell , B, NK, Natural Killer T cell (NKT) and dendritic cells count and subpopulations of T and NK lymphocytes (cel/microL) during posttreatment follow-up period. | End of infusion and follow-up (2 months and 1 year) |
