Trial Information

Autologous Cytokine-induced Killer Cell Adoptive Immunotherapy for Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Myelodysplastic Syndrome


This is a Phase I /II study on the feasibility / efficacy of adoptive immunotherapy with
autologous CIK cells for the following 2 groups of patients who have AML or high grade MDS :

1. Group 1 patients in minimal residual disease state post autologous peripheral blood
stem cell transplant ( PBSCT ), and

2. Group 2 patients with untreated high grade MDS or AML, who are not fit for standard
curative intent chemotherapy.

The CIK cells will be generated by leukapheresis from patients and cultured in GMP
facilities. Four repeated infusions will be given for a target dose of 1x10e10 T cell per
infusion.

Efficacy will be assessed by

1. Disease free survival compared to historical control in group 1 given CIK cells post
autologous PBSCT as adjuvant immunotherapy (n=20 over 3 years), and

2. Effect on the peripheral or marrow leukemia cell load in group 2 patients given CIK
cells as alternative therapy in place of chemotherapy (n=10).


Inclusion Criteria:



1. For Group 1: AML or MDS post autologous peripheral blood or marrow stem cell
transplant.

2. For Group 2: High grade MDS ( RAEB or RAEBIT ) or AML, whom the haematologist in
charge has assessed and deemed unfit for chemotherapy with curative intent.Patients
must have fairly stable white cell count requiring only low dose or no
myelosuppressive medication

3. Patients must understand the trial nature of this treatment and accept the possible
absence of benefit.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. uncontrolled infection

2. life expectancy less than 6 weeks.

3. Contraindication to undergo one session of leukapheresis for PBMNC harvesting
