Overview

NCI Definition [1]:
A preparation of human cytokine interleukin-21 (IL-21) primed, tumor-activated allogeneic human leukocyte antigen (HLA) haploidentical natural killer (NK) cells, with potential cytolytic and immunoregulatory activities. Allogeneic leukemia cells are genetically modified to express membrane-bound interleukin-21 (mbIL-21) on their cell surfaces. When human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from an HLA-haploidentical donor are subsequently exposed to these cells, the donor PBMC differentiate into mature, highly cytotoxic NK cells, which are subsequently expanded in ex vivo culture. Upon infusion of the mbIL-21-expanded haploidentical NK cells, the NK cells target, lyse and destroy tumor cells. mbIL-21 promotes sustained ex vivo proliferation of human NK cells and enhances its cytotoxic activity.

Membrane-bound interleukin-21-expanded haploidentical natural killer cells has been investigated in 1 clinical trial, of which 1 is open and 0 are closed. Of the trial investigating membrane-bound interleukin-21-expanded haploidentical natural killer cells, 1 is phase 1 (1 open).

TET2 Loss, TET2 Mutation, and TP53 Loss are the most frequent biomarker inclusion criteria for membrane-bound interleukin-21-expanded haploidentical natural killer cells clinical trials.

Acute myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndromes are the most common diseases being investigated in membrane-bound interleukin-21-expanded haploidentical natural killer cells clinical trials [2].
