About this trial

This is a single-arm, open-label, non-blind, phase I/II clinical trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of umbilical cord blood natural killer (NK) cell in children with high-risk and relapsed/refractory soft tissue sarcoma (STS).

Objective:

Assess the safety and efficacy of NK cell in high-risk and relapsed/refractory STS patients.

Observe the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of NK cells in these patients.

Study Design:

Single-arm, open-label, non-blind design. 40 patients with high-risk and relapsed/refractory STS will receive the NK cell combined with other treatment .

The treatment regimen involves 8 doses of NK cells injected at specific time points over 3 months, followed by a 3-year follow-up period.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Give informed consent and sign a written informed consent form.

Age ≤ 18 years, no gender limitation.

Karnofsky (≥16 years) or Lansky (<16 years) (Appendix 2) performance status score of at least 50 (Appendix 2).

Diagnosis of high-risk and relapsed/refractory pediatric soft tissue sarcoma, confirmed by clinical criteria, and who have undergone prior comprehensive treatment (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation, and/or stem cell transplantation).

Disqualifiers

Presence of symptomatic brain metastasis (patients with brain metastasis treated and symptomatically stable for at least 2 months before enrollment are eligible, but must be confirmed to have no cerebral hemorrhage symptoms by cranial brain MRI, CT, or venous contrast).

History of or current cardiovascular disease, including ≥ II-grade myocardial ischemia or myocardial infarction, uncontrolled arrhythmia (including QTc interval ≥ 450 ms in men and ≥ 470 ms in women), or ≥ III-IV-grade heart failure according to the NYHA standard (Appendix 3) or left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) < 50% according to echocardiography.

History of or current interstitial lung disease.

Coagulation function abnormality (INR > 1.5 or prothrombin time (PT) > ULN + 4 seconds or APTT > 1.5 ULN), with bleeding tendency or receiving anticoagulation or thrombolytic therapy.
