Abstract
Purpose: Older acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients have a poor prognosis; therefore, novel therapies are needed. Allogeneic natural killer (NK) cells have been adoptively transferred with promising clinical results. Here, we report the first-inhuman study exploiting a unique scalable NK-cell product generated ex vivo from CD34(+) hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPC) from partially HLA-matched umbilical cord blood units.
Experimental Design: Ten older AML patients in morphologic complete remission received an escalating HSPC-NK cell dose (between 3 and 30 x 10(6)/kg body weight) after lymphodepleting chemotherapy without cytokine boosting.
Results: HSPC-NK cell products contained a median of 75% highly activated NK cells, with
Conclusions: These findings indicate that HSPC-NK cell adoptive transfer is a promising, potential "off-the-shelf" translational immunotherapy approach in AML. (C) 2017 AACR.
