| Scientific title | A phase I trial of allogeneic tumour-activated natural killer lymphocytes after low dose TBI and fludarabine for the treatment of selected patients with acute myeloid leukaemia. |
| Study acronym | TaNK in AML |
| Study objectives | Donor natural killer (NK) cells activated by tumour cells can be safely infused into a patient with acute myeloid leukaemia |
| Ethics approval(s) | UK National Patient Safety Agency National Research Ethics Service, 27/11/2007, ref. Royal Free Hospital LREC 7654 |
| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Patients with acute myeloid leukaemia |
| Intervention | A single skin biopsy will be taken at time of Hickman Line insertion from the surgical site. Each patient will receive five days of Fludarabine followed by one dose of single fraction total body irradiation. Monthly 20ml peripheral blood samples will be taken from day +30 until day + 180. Each patient will receive a single infusion of the IMP. |
| Intervention type | Biological/Vaccine |
| Phase | Phase I |
| Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s) | |
| Primary outcome measure(s) |
To determine the safety of infusion of allogeneic, tumour-activated NK cells after low dose radiotherapy plus medium dose chemotherapy with respect to acute / chronic GvHD and bone marrow suppression |
| Key secondary outcome measure(s) |
1. To assess the quantitative and qualitative aspects of immune responses to acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) cells in these patients after NK cell infusion |
