We reported that IL-2 activated autologous NK cells can induce, but not maintain durable remissions in lymphoma patients. We hypothesized that allogeneic NK cells may overcome class I MHC-mediated inhibition of NK cell killing. In a pilot study, we evaluated infusion of haploidentical donor NK cells for antitumor efficacy. Six patients with advanced B cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) received rituximab, cyclophosphamide, and fludarabine as immunosupression to permit homeostatic NK cell expansion, followed by CD3-depleted NK cell-enriched cell products followed by subcutaneous IL-2 administration (10 x 10(6) units every other day x 6 doses). At 2 months, four patients showed an objective clinical response. We observed early donor cell persistence in two patients (blood and in tumor-bearing node), but this was not detectable beyond 7 days. All patients demonstrated substantial increases in host-regulatory T cells (Treg) after NK cell and IL-2 therapy (180 +/- A 80 cells/A mu l vs. baseline: 58 +/- A 24 cells/A mu l, p = 0.04) which may have limited donor cell expansion in vivo. These findings suggest safety and feasibility of allogeneic NK cell therapy in patients with lymphoma; however host Treg and inadequate immunodepletion may contribute to a hostile milieu for NK cell survival and expansion. Cell therapy trials should incorporate novel strategies to limit Treg expansion.
