Experimental
Multiple Myeloma
Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
After a lymphodepleting preparative regimen of cyclophosphamide and fludarabine, patients receive expanded NAM-NK cells followed by a short course of interleukin-2 (IL-2) to facilitate natural killer cell survival and expansion in vivo. Monoclonal antibodies and elotuzumab for Multiple Myeloma patients, will be administered prior to and after the natural killer cell infusion(s) to facilitate tumor targeting and antibody dependent cellular cytotoxicity (ADCC).
