Study Summary

This trial will test if it is safe to give NK cells along with standard chemotherapy to patients with leukemia, lymphoma, or multiple myeloma.

Who is the study for?
Adults aged 18-75 with certain blood cancers (like leukemia, lymphoma) that have a specific marker called CD70. They must be at least 3 weeks out from their last chemotherapy, have good organ function, and not be pregnant or fathering a child. Participants need to use effective birth control during the study and for three months after.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The trial is testing whether donor-derived natural killer (NK) cells engineered with CAR.70/IL15 can fight cancer when given alongside chemo drugs Cyclophosphamide and Fludarabine phosphate. It's in early stages to check safety and how well it works.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Possible side effects include reactions related to immune cell infusion, effects of chemotherapy like nausea, fatigue, hair loss, increased risk of infections due to low blood counts, liver or kidney issues from drug toxicity.

Trial Design

3Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Fludarabine phosphateExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Fludarabine is dosed using actual body weight.
Group II: CyclophosphamideExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
Cyclophosphamide is dosed per adjusted body weight for patients weighing > 20% above their ideal body weight using the calculation.
Group III: CAR.70/IL15-transduced CB-NK cellsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients will receive a single flat dose of CAR-NK.
