Brief Title: Decitabine and Vorinostat Conditioning Followed by CD3-/CD19- NK Cells Infusion for High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes
Official Title: Decitabine and Vorinostat With CD3/CD19 Depleted Haploidentical Donor Natural Killer (NK) Cells for the Treatment of High Risk Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS)
Study ID: NCT01593670
Brief Summary: This is a Phase II therapeutic trial combining Decitabine days 1-5 with oral Vorinostat twice daily days 6-15 followed by a single infusion of CD3-/CD19- enriched donor natural killer (NK) cells on day 17 and a short course of Interleukin-2 (IL-2) to facilitate NK cell survival and expansion. Two courses of treatment will be given separated by 6-8 weeks. The intent is to administer all treatment in the outpatient setting.
Detailed Description: A single donor apheresis will be collected on day 15 of cycle 1, enriched for NK cells with the large scale CliniMacs device (Miltenyi) and activated by overnight incubation with IL-2. After washing, the final NK cell product will be divided in two, with half given fresh on day 17 of course #1 and half stored frozen until day 17 of course #2. Clinical response will be formally assessed 4-6 weeks after the start of 2nd course based on International Working Group (IWG) criteria; however, bone marrow evaluations will be completed to assess for any sign of significant disease progression between cycle 1 and 2.
