Brief Summary:
This study is a single center, single arm, open-labeled phase 2 clinical study. The aim of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of allogeneic natural killer cell (MG4101). After lymphodepletion with fludarabine and cyclophosphamide, the patient will receive MG4101. Each cycle consists of 28 days, and a total of 2 cycles of MG4101 will be administered with IL-2 to activate the study drug. The efficacy of MG4101 will be evaluated after 8 weeks from the first day of treatment. We will evaluate the safety of the drug measuring the vital sign, laboratory tests, and adverse events.
Detailed Description:
Acute myeloid leukemia is a hematologic malignancy of myeloid lines leukocyte. In Korea, acute leukemia accounts for 87% of all leukemia and the incidence of acute myeloid leukemia is twice as high as acute lymphoblastic leukemia. The general treatment strategy for AML has not changed over the past 30 years. In adult AML, about 70 to 80% of the patients achieve complete remission after the intensive induction chemotherapy, but disease recurrence is relatively common. After the recurrence, the patients with good physical condition receive intensive salvage chemotherapy followed by allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. But even with the intensive treatment, the long-term survival rate is only about 25%.
MG4101 is the natural killer (NK) cell product that is activated in vitro after obtaining through leukapheresis from a healthy donor. The allogeneic NK cell is well known to have anti-leukemic effect in allogeneic stem cell transplantation. As it is widely reported that the lymphodepletion is essential in adoptive cell transfer therapy, MG4101 will be administered after the conditioning with cyclophosphamide and fludarabine. And after the infusion of MG4101, IL-2 will be infused together to activate the study drug.
In the dose-finding phase 1 study of MG4101 (NCT01212341), the maximal tolerated dose was estimated to exceed 3x10\^7 cells/kg. The patients will receive 2.0x10\^9 to 5.0x10\^6 cells in each cycle, based on the weight.
The protocol is as follows:
Cyclophosphamide and fludarabine will be administered at the dose of 250 mg/m2/day and 20 mg/m2/day, respectively, for 3 days from the start of the treatment. On the 4th, 11th and 18th day, the study drug, MG4101, will be administered intravenously, followed by 3 days of IL-2. The response will be assessed on the 28th, 56th and 112th day. The adverse event will be observed for 56 days after the initiation of the treatment.
