NK cell infusion for AML patients with minimal cancer left
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Cancer clinical trials.
This trial tests if giving special immune cells from a donor can clear leftover leukemia cells in patients who are in remission but still have traces of cancer after chemotherapy.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 or older with newly diagnosed or secondary AML
- Your leukemia must be in remission (morphologic CR) but with minimal residual disease (MRD-positive) after chemo
- You need a family donor whose natural killer cells are a mismatch with yours (haploidentical donor)
- You must be healthy enough for a stem cell transplant (ASCT)
- Your heart, lungs, kidneys, and liver must work well enough

This trial tests an additional immune therapy made from donor natural killer (NK) cells given around the time of a special stem cell transplant for children and young adults with high-risk acute myeloid leukemia (AML). It aims to help prevent the leukemia from coming back or not responding after transplant.
This trial tests donated “natural killer (NK) cells,” a type of immune cell, in children and young adults with AML that has come back or did not respond to treatment. It mainly looks at safety and also studies whether the treatment can help control the leukemia.
This trial tests whether giving specially trained natural killer (NK) cells after a stem cell transplant can help prevent relapse in people with high-risk blood cancers like AML, MDS, or MDS/MPN. You receive one infusion of these cells about a week after your transplant.
This trial tests a new cancer treatment made from a close family member’s immune cells, adjusted in the lab and given to children or young adults with AML. It may help the immune system better attack leukemia, especially for high-risk, relapsed, or refractory AML.
This Phase 1 study tests whether an infusion of special immune cells (NK cells) from a donor can help control leukemia or related blood cancers that come back or do not fully go away after a stem cell transplant. It also uses short chemotherapy to “make space” for the NK cells to work, and IL-2 to help them function.
This study tests an “immune cell therapy” made from a family donor to help children and young adults with AML stay in remission after chemotherapy. It may help reduce the chance that AML comes back, but eligibility depends on remission status, donor suitability, and avoiding certain infections or liver issues.
