Open Label NK Cell Infusion (FATE-NK100) With Subq IL-2 in Adults With AML

NCT03081780

Description:

This is a Phase I open-label dose escalation study of a single infusion of FATE-NK100 and a short course of subcutaneous interleukin-2 (IL-2) administered after lymphodepleting chemotherapy (CY/FLU) in subjects with refractory or relapsed acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). FATE-NK100 is a natural killer (NK) cell product that is enriched for NK cells with an "adaptive", or human cytomegalovirus (CMV)-induced, phenotype. The NK cell product is comprised of peripheral blood (PB) leukocytes sourced from a related donor (HLA-haploidentical or better but not fully HLA-matched) that is seropositive for cytomegalovirus (CMV+), and enriched for adaptive NK cells by depletion of CD3+ (T-lymphocytes) and CD19+ (B-lymphocytes) cells followed by ex-vivo culture expansion.
