Summary

This early-stage trial tested whether a special type of immune cell from donors, called natural killer (NK) cells, is safe for people with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) that has returned or not responded to treatment. Nineteen patients received the cells to see the highest safe dose and any side effects. The goal was to find a new way to control the disease without long-term medication.
