Abstract

Immunotherapy may be an effective and potentially less toxic treatment for cancer in addition to the traditional therapies. The current study presents a case of advanced pancreatic cancer that was treated with cell‑based immunotherapy using expanded activated allogeneic lymphocytes (EAAL*) in vitro with cluster of differentiation (CD)3(+) and CD8(+) cytotoxic T lymphocytes, and CD3(‑) and CD56(+) natural killer cells as the major effector cells, together with chemotherapy and targeted agents. A 46‑year‑old female was diagnosed at the Chinese PLA General Hospital (Beijing, China) with stage IV pancreatic cancer with multiple metastases in October 2012. After receiving one cycle of chemotherapy plus nimotuzumab (Nimo), the patient received 14 infusions of EAAL*, which was obtained from a related donor, combined with seven cycles of chemotherapy with gemcitabine plus oxaliplatin and targeted therapy with Nimo. The patient was followed up for eight months. One day prior to the cell infusion, targeted therapy was administered and 48 h following the cell infusion, chemotherapy was administered. Following this treatment, carbohydrate antigen 19-9 levels decreased from 4,136 U/ml to within the normal ranges, along with the significant regression of the lesions. Occasionally mild upset was observed following the EAAL* transfusion. For the entire combined modality, grade II hematological and gastrointestinal toxicities plus grade I liver function damage and skin rash were identified. The present study demonstrated that combining allogeneic cell‑based immunotherapy with conventional therapies is effective and safe, even in patients with end‑stage pancreatic cancer. Therefore, this strategy is recommended for the treatment of similar cases.
