Implication

Phase I trial demonstrates safe complete remissions from haploidentical NK cells in refractory AML, indicating a feasible bridge to transplantation.

Key Points

  • Infusions of haploidentical natural killer cells induced complete remission in 58.3% of patients with multiply relapsed acute myeloid leukemia without causing any toxicity.
  • In this phase I clinical trial, 12 refractory patients received mbIL-21 expanded donor cells, resulting in a 1-year overall survival rate of 41.7% and no graft-versus-host disease.
  • Higher levels of inhibitory KIR and elevated interferon gamma correlated with remission, indicating expanded donor cell infusions may provide an effective bridge to transplantation.
