Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Dose-limiting toxicity (TLD)

    To determine dose-limiting toxicity (TLD) of a single infusion of aloreactive NK cells or ex vivo IL-15-stimulated NK cells after haploTPH in pediatric patients with high-risk leukemias.

    52 weeks

  • Maximum tolerated dose (MTD)

    To determine maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of a single infusion of aloreactive NK cells or ex vivo IL-15-stimulated NK cells after haploTPH in pediatric patients with high-risk leukemias.

    52 weeks

Secondary Outcomes (3)

    Week 52

  • Clinical evolution of patients

    Week 52

  • Monitor immune reconstitution and characterize NK cells

    Week 52

Study Arms (2)

KIR mismatch aloreactive NK donor cells

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Three patients from each cohort will receive NK aloreactive cells from a KIR mismatch donor

Biological: Alloreactive NK cells

NK cells stimulated ex vivo with IL-15 from KIR match donor

EXPERIMENTAL

Three patients in each cohort will receive ex vivo stimulated NK cells with IL-15 from a KIR match donor.

Biological: NK cells stimulated ex vivo with IL-15

Interventions

When patient and donor are KIR-HLA match, the patient submits all HLA class I molecules, or in the absence of any, your donor does not have this molecule, or having it lacks the corresponding KIR receiver. For more information detailed information on the product under investigation, reference is made to the Dossier of the Research Product (IMPD): PEI 09-008

NK cells stimulated ex vivo with IL-15 from KIR match donor

When the patient lacks the HLA class I molecule and his donor has this molecule and also the donor NK cells have the KIR receptor that recognizes the absence of the corresponding HLA class I ligand

KIR mismatch aloreactive NK donor cells

  • +10 more criteria

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients with an active infectious process or other serious underlying medical condition
  • Patients who, according to the investigator's criteria, have a history of poor compliance with therapy.
  • Patients who after a psycho-social evaluation are advised as not suitable for the procedure:
  • i. Social-family situation that makes correct participation in the study impossible.
  • ii. Patients with emotional or psychological problems secondary to the illness such as post-traumatic stress disorder, phobias, delusions, psychosis, with the need for support from specialists.
  • iii. Evaluation of the involvement of family members in the health of the patient
  • Inability to understand the information about the trial
  • Received an investigational drug within 30 days prior to the start of therapy or within 5 half-lives of receiving an investigational drug, whichever is longer.
