Study Summary
This trial tests if a cellular therapy and a glycoprotein can prevent relapse in AML, MDS, or MDS/MPN after stem cell transplant.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 60 or older with newly diagnosed acute myeloid leukemia (AML), those in first complete remission but still have detectable disease, and patients with secondary AML, therapy-related MDS/AML, or certain types of myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS). Participants must have acceptable bilirubin levels unless due to Gilbert's syndrome or hemolysis.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests CIML NK cell infusions combined with Interleukin-2 injections to prevent cancer relapse in patients who've had a stem cell transplant for AML, MDS, or overlap syndromes. It aims to determine the safety and effectiveness of this approach.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions at the injection site from Interleukin-2, flu-like symptoms such as fever and chills, fatigue, nausea, and increased risk of infections due to immune system alterations.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: Phase 1/1b: CIML NK Cells + Interleukin-2Experimental Treatment2 Interventions
5 eligible participants will be enrolled to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CIML NK at starting dose level 0.
Screening and baseline visit with assessments and bone marrow aspirate and biopsy.
Day 0: Standard-of-care conditioning chemotherapy and stem cell infusion.
Day 7: Predetermined dose of CIML NK cells 1x daily.
Days 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19: Predetermined dose of Interleukin-2 1x daily every other day (7 doses total).
Dose limiting toxicity period for 6 weeks after infusion of CIML NK cells
If 0 or 1 dose limiting toxicity is observed at the dose level, then this dose will be the MTD and study will proceed to Phase 1b.
De-escalation to dose level -1 per protocol if ≥2 DLTs occur with dose Level 0.
In phase Ib, 10 additional participants will be enrolled at the maximum tolerated dose.

Frequently Asked Questions
These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.
Are new participants being admitted to this research project?
"According to information available on clinicaltrials.gov, this particular study is not currently seeking patients; the trial was submitted in May of 2024 and last edited in November 2023. However, 3063 alternative studies are actively recruiting subjects at present."
Answered by AI
What potential risks exist for individuals receiving Phase 1 Dose Level 0: CIML NK Cells + Interleukin-2?
"We give Phase 1 Dose Level 0: CIML NK Cells + Interleukin-2 a score of 1 since the trial is still in its first stage and there are only scant evidence to support safety and efficacy."
