This study showed that in chemo-resistant multiple myeloma patients, NK cell KIR-mismatch is not superior to conventional transplantation, but this strategy may serve as a platform for new treatment concepts.
Disease relapse is an important problem after allogeneic stem cell transplantations in multiple myeloma (MM). To test the hypothesis that natural killer (NK) cell alloreactivity in the setting of a haploidentical stem cell transplantation (haploSCT) can reduce the risk of myeloma relapse, we performed a small prospective phase 2 study in which we transplanted poor-risk MM patients using a killer cell immunoglobulin-like receptor (KIR)-ligand mismatched haploidentical donor. Patients received bone marrow grafts after reduced-intensity conditioning, with post-transplantation cyclophosphamide (PTCY) graft-versus-host-disease (GVHD) prophylaxis. The primary endpoint was 1.5-year progression-free survival (PFS); stopping rules were installed in case interim results made a benefit of 50% PFS at 1.5 years unlikely. After inclusion of 12 patients, of which 9 were evaluable for the primary endpoint, all patients relapsed within a median time of 90 days. All except 1 patient showed engraftment, with a median time to neutrophil recovery of 18 (12-30) days. The study was prematurely terminated based on the predefined stopping rules after the inclusion of 12 patients. With this small study, we show that in chemo-resistant myeloma patients, NK cell KIR-mismatch is not superior to conventional alloSCT. This strategy, however, can serve as a platform for new treatment concepts. Clinical Trial Registry: NCT02519114
