Clinical trials are an important way to improve treatment for people with cancer. While most are continuing during the COVID-19 pandemic, the period of time that clinical trials are available and recruiting may change quickly. If you would like to get involved in a clinical trial, speak to your treatment team or the health service where the clinical trial is being undertaken, to confirm it is open and appropriate for you. For cancer information and support, call Cancer Council's experienced cancer nurses on 13 11 20 Monday to Friday from 9am-5pm.

Trial Overview Read MoreRead more

This Phase I trial is evaluating how safe and tolerable an experimental targeted therapy (NKX101) is in people with acute myeloid leukaemia or myelodysplastic syndromes.
 

This trial is treating patients with relapsed/refractory acute myeloid leukaemia or intermediate, high and very high risk relapsed/refractory myelodysplastic syndromes.

This is a systemic therapy trial.

You may be able to join this trial if:

  • You have been diagnosed with cancer, but have not received any treatment.
  • You have had treatment but your cancer has gotten worse or has not responded to the treatment you have been given.
  • You have had treatment, but your cancer has come back.

You may be excluded from this trial if:

Summary

This trial has one experimental arm with two parts. Part 1 is a dose-finding phase with two dosing regimens, utilizing modified "3+3" enrolment schema. Either haplo-matched related donor derived or unrelated off-the-shelf donor derived NKX101 will be used. Part 2 is a dose expansion phase to further evaluate safety and tolerability, cellular kinetics, pharmacodynamics and anti-tumour response in expansion cohorts of patients. Either haplo-matched related donor derived or unrelated off-the-shelf donor derived NKX101 will be used. NKX101 is an investigational allogeneic CAR NK product targeting NKG2D ligands on cancer cells. The starting dose of NKX101 in Part 1/Regimen A is 1 × 10^8 NK cells (2 × 10^6/kg for patients < 50="" kg)="" administered="" as="" 3="" weekly="" doses.="" the="" starting="" dose="" of="" nkx101="" in="" part="" 1/regimen="" b="" is="" 1.5="" ×="" 10^8="" nk="" cells="" (3="" ×="" 10^6/kg="" for="" patients="">< 50="" kg)="" administered="" as="" 2="" weekly="" doses.="" part="" 2="" will="" use="" the="" maximum="" tolerated="" dose="" (mtd)="" or="" recommended="" phase="" 2="" dose="" (rp2d)="" of="" nkx101="" as="" determined="" in="" part="">
