Treatment Details

Study Objectives

Outcome measures can provide a clearer picture of what you can expect from a treatment.
Primary outcome measures
Occurrence of Grade III or IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD)
Occurrence of any grade 4 or greater suspected adverse reaction
Secondary outcome measures
Number of patients alive without progression
Occurrence of disease response
Occurrence of treatment related mortality (TRM)

Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Non-Hodgkin LymphomaExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
After a lymphodepleting preparative regimen of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, patients receive expanded NAM-NK cells followed by a short course of interleukin-2 (IL-2) to facilitate natural killer cell survival and expansion in vivo. Monoclonal antibodies and rituximab for Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma patients, will be administered prior to and after the natural killer cell infusion(s) to facilitate tumor targeting and antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC).
Group II: Multiple MyelomaExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
After a lymphodepleting preparative regimen of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, patients receive expanded NAM-NK cells followed by a short course of interleukin-2 (IL-2) to facilitate natural killer cell survival and expansion in vivo. Monoclonal antibodies and elotuzumab for Multiple Myeloma patients, will be administered prior to and after the natural killer cell infusion(s) to facilitate tumor targeting and antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC).
