Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Conditions
Brief summary
This is a multi-institutional Simon's optimal two-stage phase II trial of CD3/CD19 depleted, ALT-803 activated, haploidentical donor NK cells and subcutaneous ALT-803 given after lymphodepleting chemotherapy (CY/FLU) for the treatment of refractory or released acute myelogenous leukemia (AML).
Interventions
Preparative Regimen: Fludarabine 25 mg/m2 x 5 days start day -6 Cyclophosphamide 60 mg/kg x 2 days on day -5 and -4 ALT-803 Stimulated Donor NK Cells: The apheresis product (collected day -1) will be enriched for NK cells with the large-scale CliniMacs® device (Miltenyi) by depletion of CD3+ cells to remove T-lymphocytes and depletion of CD19+ cells to remove B-lymphocytes. The NK cell enriched product will be stimulated by overnight incubation with 36.1 ng/mL ALT-803 under GMP conditions and infused on day 0. ALT-803 to Facilitate NK Cell Survival and Expansion: ALT-803 at 10 mcg/kg subcutaneously (SC) with the 1st dose administered on day 0 (no sooner than 4 hours post NK cells), day +5 and day +10 for 3 doses total
