Abstract
A Phase I/II clinical trial was conducted in pediatric patients with high-risk malignancies to assess the safety and efficacy of NK cell infusion post-haplo-HSCT. Patients received either alloreactive NK cells from KIR/HLA-mismatched donors or IL-15-stimulated NK cells from KIR/HLA-matched donors, across three dose-escalating cohorts. The IL15-NK cell infusion product demonstrated enhanced activating receptor expression and functional capacity. Increased NKG2D expression was observed in NK cells from patients receiving IL15-NK cells. One-year follow-up showed accelerated immune reconstitution in both the allo-NK and IL15-NK cell arms. IL15-NK recipients exhibited a pro-inflammatory cytokine profile (IL-2, IL-4, IL-6, IFN-γ). Elevated CD69 expression was associated with a higher risk of transplant-related complications.
期刊介绍:
The American Journal of Hematology offers extensive coverage of experimental and clinical aspects of blood diseases in humans and animal models. The journal publishes original contributions in both non-malignant and malignant hematological diseases, encompassing clinical and basic studies in areas such as hemostasis, thrombosis, immunology, blood banking, and stem cell biology. Clinical translational reports highlighting innovative therapeutic approaches for the diagnosis and treatment of hematological diseases are actively encouraged.The American Journal of Hematology features regular original laboratory and clinical research articles, brief research reports, critical reviews, images in hematology, as well as letters and correspondence.
