Scientific titleA 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 acronymTaNK in AML
Study objectivesDonor 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) studiedPatients with acute myeloid leukaemia
InterventionA 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 typeBiological/Vaccine
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhasePhase I
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)
Primary outcome measureTo 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
Secondary outcome measures1. To assess the quantitative and qualitative aspects of immune responses to acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) cells in these patients after NK cell infusion
2. To assess long term survival of donor NK cells in the peripheral circulation of recipients
