Donor Gamma Delta T-Cell Infusion for the Treatment of Acute Myeloid Leukemia in Patients at High Risk of Relapse after Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant

Trial Status: closed to accrual

This phase I/Ib trial tests the safety, side effects, and best dose of gamma delta T cell in treating patients with acute myeloid leukemia who are at high risk of having disease coming back (relapse) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. The cells from the donor will be processed in a laboratory, where T-cell subtype called gamma delta T-cells will be isolated and expanded in number. The gamma delta T-cells are known to recognize and kill cancer cells, but normally they are only small number of them circulating in a blood. This trial aims to see whether expanded gamma delta T cells may treat patients with acute myeloid leukemia and reduce the risk of relapse.
