Who cannot take part

Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.

Prior treatment

  • Received the vaccine within 4 weeks prior to the first infusion and/or expected to require vaccination from the study period to 12 weeks after the last infusion.
  • Toxicity induced by previous therapy not recovered to ≤ grade 2(NCI-CTCAE v5.0).
  • Large surgical treatment within 4 weeks prior to first infusion, not including diagnostic biopsy.

Other illness

  • Allergic to drug used in this study.
  • History of allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
  • History of other malignant tumors, except for those who have achieved complete remission more than 5 years after radical treatment without any signs of recurrence.
  • Active autoimmune diseases.
  • History of central nervous system disease or meningeal involvement such as epilepsy, paralysis, aphasia, stroke, etc.
  • Active pulmonary infection; SpO2 ≤90%; Pulmonary embolism, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, or interstitial lung disease.
  • Uncontrolled bacterial, fungal, or viral infection. Known HIV infection, active Hepatitis B (HBV) or Hepatitis C (HCV) infection.
  • History of substance abuse.

Lab values

  • Subjects received any antitumor therapy as follows, prior to first NK infusion:
    • Systemic steroid therapy within 3 days (except physiological replacement therapy);
    • Systemic antitumor therapy within 2 weeks or at least 5 half-lives, whichever is less;
    • Radiotherapy within 4 weeks;
    • Donor lymphocyte infusion within 6 weeks;
    • Intrathecal treatment within 1 week;
    • CAR-T therapy, CAR-NK therapy, or any other genetically modified cell therapy product within 6 months;
  • Serious cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases:
    • Severe heart rhythm or conduction abnormalities, corrected QT interval (QTc)≥480 ms;
    • Acute coronary syndrome, congestive heart failure, aortic dissection, stroke, or other grade 3 or higher cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events within 6 months prior to first infusion;
    • New York Heart Association (NYHA) class II or above congestive heart failure or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) \<50% in color Doppler echocardiography;
    • Hypertension that cannot be controlled by drug.

Other

  • Active central nervous system Leukemia.
  • Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL).
  • Pregnant/breastfeeding women.
  • Investigator-assessed presence of any medical or social issues that are likely to interfere with study conduct or may cause increased risk to subject.

Who the study is looking for

  • ≥18 years old.
  • Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status ≤1 and life expectancy greater than 12 weeks.
  • Diagnosis of r/r AML (Cohort 1 and 2) or AML MRD (Cohort 3).
  • Cohort 1: Both CLL1 and CD33 expression are positive in AML blasts; Cohort 2: The expression of CD33 in AML blast is positive.
  • Adequate organ and marrow function, as defined below:
    • Blood creatinine (Cr) ≤ 2 x ULN or calculated creatinine clearance (Cockcroft-Gault formula) ≥ 50 mL/min;
    • Total bilirubin (TBIL) ≤ 2 x the ULN;
    • Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) ≤ 3 x ULN;
    • International normalized ratio (INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) ≤ 1.5 x ULN;
  • Females of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test.
  • Donor specific antibody (DSA) is negative: MFI \<= 2000.
