Study #2017-0085
EX-VIVO EXPANDED ALLOGENEIC NK CELLS FOR THE TREATMENT OF PEDIATRIC SOLID TUMORS
MD Anderson Study Status
Enrolling
Treatment Agent
Cord Blood-derived Expanded Allogeneic Natural Killer Cells, Cyclophosphamide, Etoposide
Description
This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of cord blood-derived expanded allogeneic natural killer cells (donor natural killer \[NK\] cells) and how well they work when given together with cyclophosphamide and etoposide in treating children and young adults with solid tumors that have come back (relapsed) or that do not respond to treatment (refractory). NK cells, white blood cells important to the immune system, are donated/collected from cord blood collected at birth from healthy babies and grown in the lab. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as cyclophosphamide and etoposide, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving NK cells together with cyclophosphamide and etoposide may work better in treating children and young adults with solid tumors.
