摘要
Background aims. Activated NK cells (aNK) generated by expansion of a human interleukin-2-dependent NK cell line (NK-92) were shown to mediate strong anti-leukemia activity. This phase 1 study evaluated feasibility, safety, and activity of aNK cells adoptively transferred to patients with refractory/relapsed acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In addition, effects of these aNK cells on the patient's immune system were evaluated. Methods. Two cell-dose levels (1 x 10(9) cells/m(2) and 3 x 10(9) cells/m(2)) were used. One treatment course consisted of two infusions of the same cell dose, each cell infusion delivered 24 h apart. The aNK cells were administered in the outpatient setting. Results. Seven patients with refractory/relapsed AML were treated with a total of 20 aNK cell infusions. None of the 7 patients experienced dose-limiting toxicities during the aNK cell administration or during 21 days of the post-infusion observation period. No grade 3-4 toxicities (probable or definite) related to aNK cell infusions occurred. Activity was transient in 3 of 7 patients. No significant changes in the patient's lymphocyte counts, subsets frequency, phenotype or activity were observed post-infusion. Cell dose-dependent effects in the plasma levels of several cytokines were observed. Discussion. The trial demonstrated the safety and feasibility of adoptive cell therapy with "off-the-shelf" aNK cells in patients with refractory/relapsed AML. These data provide the foundation for future combination immunotherapy trials and for the optimization of aNK cell based therapies in patients with AML.
