NK-DCI Trial Summary

This trial will compare the rates of progression-free survival and unacceptable toxicity in patients receiving NK cell-enriched donor lymphocyte infusions (DLIs) with or without the TLR9 agonist, DUK-CPG-001.

Who is the study for?
Adults over 18 with myeloid leukemia, lymphoma, or tumors who've had a T-cell depleted transplant from an HLA-matched donor and are at risk of relapse. They should have minimal graft-versus-host disease and be stable on low-dose immunosuppression. Women must test negative for pregnancy and use birth control; men also need to use contraception post-infusion.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
This phase II trial is testing whether NK cell-enriched donor lymphocyte infusions alone or combined with the TLR9 agonist DUK-CPG-001 improve progression-free survival after stem cell transplantation. Participants are grouped based on their HLA match level (7-8/8 or 4-6/8) and type of malignancy (myeloid vs lymphoid).See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to immune system activation such as fever, fatigue, infusion-related symptoms, increased risk of infections due to immune modulation, and possibly worsening of graft-versus-host disease.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What is the desired outcome of this medical research?

"The primary aim of this 100-day trial is to determine Progression Free Survival rate. The secondary objectives include assessing immune function before and after infusion, as measured by Elispot assay or Flow-cytometric cytokine assay, in patients receiving NK cell-enriched DLI administered alone or with TLR9 ligand DUK-CPG001; additionally, tracking the recovery of immune cell populations pre and post infusion will be conducted."

Answered by AI

Is the enrollment period for this clinical trial still open?

"Per information found on clinicaltrials.gov, enrollment for this medical trial is currently in progress. This experiment was initially posted on June 8th 2016 and the last modification occurred March 8th 2022."

Answered by AI

How many participants have enrolled in this research endeavor?

"Affirmative. The information found on clinicaltrials.gov reveals that this trial is presently in search of participants, which was initially posted on June 8th 2016 and most recently updated on March 8th 2022. 100 volunteers are wanted from 1 medical site."

Answered by AI

Has the combination of NK-DLI and DUK-CPG-001 been authorized by the FDA?

"While clinical data is limited, NK-DLI + DUK-CPG-001 received a safety score of 2 due to the Phase 2 trial status. This indicates that some evidence exists regarding its overall security but no proof has been established in regards to its efficacy."
