- "This is a multi-institutional Phase I/II study of an allogeneic KIR-HLA mismatched NK cell infusion (AdaptNK) and a short course of subcutaneous interleukin-2 (IL-2) administered after lymphodepleting chemotherapy \[cyclophosphamide (CY)/fludarabine (FLU)\] in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myelogenous leukemia (AML)."
- Compensation
- Not stated
- Study-related exams and procedures are typically provided at no cost. This is how many trials work in general — confirm the details for this study with the study team.
- Participants are monitored closely by the research team throughout the study.
- Some participants may receive access to an investigational treatment, which is still being studied.
- Your participation helps researchers learn whether this approach could help future patients.
About this study
This is a multi-institutional Phase I/II study of an allogeneic KIR-HLA mismatched NK cell infusion (AdaptNK) and a short course of subcutaneous interleukin-2 (IL-2) administered after lymphodepleting chemotherapy \[cyclophosphamide (CY)/fludarabine (FLU)\] in patients with relapsed or refractory acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). AdaptNK is a natural killer (NK) cell product that is enriched for NK cells with an "adaptive", or human cytomegalovirus (CMV)-induced, phenotype.
Compensation is read from the study's own description and may be missing — always confirm with the study team.
