CYNK001AML01 Trial Summary

This trial will study the safety and effectiveness of a new leukemia treatment that usesNK cells.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-80 with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) who've had at least one treatment, are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and can use contraception. They should have treated central nervous system involvement if present, be minimally immunosuppressed, and have an ECOG performance status ≤2. Excluded are those with significant medical conditions that could affect study results or organ dysfunction.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing CYNK-001 infusions after chemotherapy to find the highest dose patients can tolerate without severe side effects. CYNK-001 consists of natural killer cells derived from placental CD34+ cells aimed at treating AML by enhancing the body's immune response against cancer cells.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to infusion such as fever or chills, fatigue, nausea, and possible increased risk of infections due to immune system suppression from lymphodepleting chemotherapy prior to receiving CYNK-001.

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Are there still opportunities to join this experiment?

"Affirmative. Clinicaltrials.gov indicates that this investigation is currently searching for research participants, with the trial having been initially uploaded on March 12th 2020 and most recently adjusted on September 9th 2022. 94 people have to be recruited from across nine sites."

Answered by AI

Are there any historical precedents of employing CYNK-001 in clinical research?

"Presently, there is one CYNK-001 trial actively in progress with no Phase 3 trials. Buffalo, New york houses the majority of these studies; however 10 sites across the nation are running clinical trails for this drug."

Answered by AI

Is the protocol for this research endeavor unprecedented?

"Presently, CYNK-001 has one active trial across 9 urban centres and 1 nation. The inaugural clinical study began in 2020 under the sponsorship of Celularity Incorporated, involving 94 patients that concluded Phase 1 drug approval. Since then, no further research projects have been completed."

Answered by AI

What primary objective is this investigation attempting to attain?

"Celularity Incorporated, the trial sponsor, has established a Day +28 time frame to measure the primary outcome of Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) or Maximum Planned Dose (MPD). Furthermore, secondary objectives such as Overall Survival (OS), Time to Progression (TTP), and Number Participants who experience Minimal Residual Disease (MRD) Response are being evaluated. OS is defined as Date of first CYNK-001 infusion to date of death., while TTP is recorded between Date of first CYNK-001 infusion to date of disease progression in the MRD positive arm.. Finally, MRD"

Answered by AI

Under what conditions may individuals participate in this clinical trial?

"To partake in this research, patient's must be aged 18-80 and have a hematologic disorder. Currently, 94 people are being enrolled into the trial."

Answered by AI

Is this clinical trial being conducted broadly throughout the city?

"Patients can enroll in this medical study at Westchester Medical Center located in Valhalla, TX; MD Anderson Cancer Center located in Houston, WA; and Swedish Health Services situated in Seattle, CO as well as 9 other sites."

Answered by AI

Does this research involve participants aged twenty or more?

"Consistent with the qualifications for this trial, individuals aged 18 and over and below 80 are eligible to take part."

Answered by AI

Has CYNK-001 received clearance from the FDA?

"As this is a Phase 1 trial, there are limited data supporting the safety and efficacy of CYNK-001. Therefore, our team at Power have assigned it a score of 1 on a scale from one to three."

Answered by AI

What is the overall enrolment count for this experiment?

"To carry out this medical study, 94 willing participants who satisfy the established criteria must be recruited. The trial is taking place at two sites: Westchester Medical Center in Valhalla, Texas and MD Anderson Cancer Centre in Houston, Washington."
