Study summary

Phase 2 open-label, multi-center, randomized, controlled, dose-finding study of safety and efficacy of NLA101 to reduce the rate of infections associated with CIN in adult subjects with AML.

Read the detailed description

Phase 2 open-label, multi-center, randomized, controlled, dose-finding study of safety and efficacy of NLA101 to reduce the rate of infections associated with chemotherapy induced neutropenia (CIN) in adult subjects with AML.

Eligible subjects with untreated de novo or secondary AML and per local institutional standards planned to receive at least two cycles of chemotherapy with curative intent will be enrolled into the study and randomized 1:1:1:1 to 1 of 3 Investigational Arms (Standard of Care [SOC] chemotherapy + low, medium, or high dose NLA101) or a Control Arm (SOC chemotherapy).

Subjects randomized to an Investigational Arm will be eligible to receive a single fixed assigned dose of NLA101 after the first cycle of chemotherapy, and up to 2 additional identical cell doses after subsequent chemotherapy cycles (one NLA101 infusion per cycle). Subjects randomized to the Control Arm will be followed for up to 3 cycles of chemotherapy.

All subjects will be followed for 84 days following randomization, or 30 days post final infusion of NLA101, or 30 days post the day after the last chemotherapy infusion for Control Arm, whichever is longer.

Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Key Criteria:

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Age ≥ 18 (or legal age of majority for sites outside US).
  • Untreated de novo or secondary acute myeloid leukemia (AML), including AML that has progressed from myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), and documented diagnosis
  • Eligible for at least 2 cycles of standard of care AML chemotherapy that will result in moderate to severe myelosuppression and have curative intent
  • (ECOG) Performance Status of 0, 1, or 2 or Status of 50 to 100.
  • Adequate cardiac, renal, and hepatic functions.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Extramedullary disease in the absence of bone marrow or blood involvement
  • Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) with PML-RARA
  • Prior AML therapy, with the exception of intrathecal chemotherapy or emergent radiation for myeloid sarcoma.
  • Concurrent requiring active treatment with chemotherapy, immunotherapy, or radiation
  • Prior allotransplant, including hematopoietic cell transplant or solid organ allogeneic transplant
  • Known or history of hypersensitivity to dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)
  • Active/chronic (HIV), virus (HCV), or virus (HBV) infection
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(9)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Histologically or cytologically confirmed

The diagnosis was confirmed by looking at a sample under a microscope: tissue from a biopsy or surgery (histology), or cells from a fluid or needle sample (cytology).

Your pathology report is the document that shows this.

ECOG performance status

A scale of how much an illness limits everyday activity. For people being assessed to join a study, scores run from 0 (fully active) to 4; lower is more active.

0
Fully active, no restrictions.
1
Limited in strenuous activity, but walking and able to do light work, such as housework or office work.
2
Walking and able to look after yourself, but unable to work; up and about more than half of waking hours.
3
Able to look after yourself only in part; in bed or a chair more than half of waking hours.
4
Unable to look after yourself at all; in bed or a chair all day.

Studies most often ask for 0–1 or 0–2. Your doctor gives the score; the WHO scale uses the same steps. The full scale also has 5, which records death.

Karnofsky performance status (KPS)

A 0–100 scale of how well someone can carry out everyday activities. 100 is no complaints and no signs of illness; 70 is able to look after yourself but not to work or keep up normal activity; 50 is needing considerable help and frequent medical care.

Studies often ask for 60 or 70 and above. Your doctor gives the score.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

Allogeneic and autologous transplant

Stem cell (bone marrow) transplants. Allogeneic uses cells from a donor; autologous uses your own cells, collected earlier and given back.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

HIV

The human immunodeficiency virus, which weakens the immune system.

Many studies now accept people whose HIV is controlled on treatment, judged by the viral load and the CD4 count. Check the limits this study sets.

Hepatitis C tests

Hepatitis C is a virus that infects the liver. An HCV antibody test can stay positive after an infection has cleared (and is occasionally positive without one); an HCV RNA test shows whether the virus is there now.

After treatment, hepatitis C counts as cured when HCV RNA is still undetectable 12 weeks or more after the treatment ended. Studies often accept people cured this way.

Hepatitis B tests

Hepatitis B is a virus that infects the liver. These are separate tests: HBsAg positive usually means a current infection (a recent vaccination can briefly cause it too); total anti-HBc (HBcAb) positive means an infection now or in the past; HBV DNA measures how much virus is in the blood.

Some studies accept a past infection if HBV DNA is undetectable, sometimes with antiviral medicine during the study. Check what this study allows.

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 Mar 30, 2021, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
