Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
This study aims to introduce a new technology of donor NK cell infusion. NK cells defend against viruses and cancer cells in vivo whereas this effect declines in patiens with tumors. In this study, NK cells will be separated from donated peripheral blood or umbilical cord blood. Eligible NK cells will be infused to patients with Acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This new therapy will probably induce their sustained remission and reduce recurrences.

Inclusion Criteria: * Patients must have been diagnosed as acute myeloid leukemia in accordance with "Chinese Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines of AML". Those who achieved CR after chemotherapy are mainly included. Refractory/relapsed AML can also be enrolled. * Patients with normal heart function (ejection fraction ≥ 50%), normal liver function(ALT and AST ≤ 2.5 times the upper limit of normal value, bilirubin ≤ 2 times the upper limit of normal value) and normal renal function with blood creatinine ≤ 3.0 mg/dL (≤ 260 µmol /L) can be enrolled. * Patients will be required to sign an informed consent. Exclusion Criteria: * Patients with severe infection or other malignant tumors. * Women during pregnancy or lactation. * Other patients deemed unsuitable by the investigator.
