Study summary

This pilot clinical trial studies the side effects of irradiated donor cells following stem cell transplant in controlling cancer in patients with hematologic malignancies. Transfusion of irradiated donor cells (immune cells) from relatives may cause the patient's cancer to decrease in size and may help control cancer in patients receiving a stem cell transplant.

Read the detailed description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine the toxicity associated with the administration of irradiated haploidentical cells (IHC) to patients with high-risk hematologic malignancies.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine if there is evidence of disease response associated with IHC.

TERTIARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To determine if treatment with the irradiated cells induces an immune response targeting tumor associated epitopes.

OUTLINE: Patients are assigned to 1 of 2 cohorts.

COHORT I: Within 42 days after hematopoietic engraftment (both neutrophils and platelets) after autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), patients receive initial treatment with IHC. Patients that do not have evidence of relapse or progressive disease may be treated every 8-12 weeks for up to 3 doses.

COHORT II: Patients with high-risk disease receive initial treatment with IHC within 70 days after hematopoietic engraftment (both neutrophils and platelets) after allogeneic HSCT. Patients being treated for relapsed disease may receive initial treatment with IHC any time after relapse is documented. Patients that do not have evidence of relapse or progressive disease may be treated every 8-12 weeks for up to 3 doses.

After completion of study treatment, patients will be followed up within 8 weeks.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Number of Participants Who Received Irradiated Haploidentical Cells (IHC) With Disease Response

    Per Response Evaluation Criteria In Solid Tumors Criteria (RECIST v1.0) for target lesions and assessed by MRI: Complete Response (CR), Disappearance of all target lesions; Partial Response (PR), \>=30% decrease in the sum of the longest diameter of target lesions; Overall Response (OR) = CR + PR

    Time frame: Up to 8 weeks after last protocol treatment

  2. the Number of Participants With Toxicities Associated With Administration of Irradiated Haploidentical Cells (IHC) Evaluated According to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) Version 4.0

    The anticipated/projected IHC-associated toxicities of greatest concern include: short-term toxicities- constitutional/systemic adverse events including fevers, hypotension, pulmonary infiltrates; long-term toxicities: autoimmune effects, graft-versus-host disease (GVHD), graft rejection. Toxicity will be measured by occurrence of any experimental treatment-related adverse events (AE) up to 12 weeks of completion of therapy. The CTCAE version 4.0 will be utilized for the description and grading of the AE. All symptoms, signs, or diseases assessed as experimental treatment-related will be captu

    Time frame: Up to 12 weeks of completion of therapy

Secondary outcomes

  1. Induction of Host T Cells Reactive With Tumor Associated Epitopes

    It will be determined if treatment with the irradiated cells induces an immune response targeting tumor associated epitopes.

    Time frame: Up to 8 weeks after last protocol treatment

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Jun 26, 2023, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
