Standardization of CD3+ T Cell Dose for Patients Receiving Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplantation From Matched Related Donors

December 17, 2025 updated by: Antonio Di Stasi, University of Alabama at Birmingham

Phase II Study for Standardization of CD3+ T Cell Dose for Patients Receiving Allogeneic Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplants From Matched Related Donors

Stem cells collected from sibling donors for allogenic transplants contain various types of cells. The predominant immune cells are called CD3+ T cells. The amount of these T cells vary vastly from donor to donor. This study is to determine if standardizing the CD3+ T cell dose will benefit the recipient (patient). As well as to help discover if dose standardization causes less variation in outcomes between patients and to make transplantation more predictable and complications easier to manage.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Active, not recruiting

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The optimal CD3+ cell dose to be used for allo HSCT is unknown. In addition, there are multiple variables in addition to CD3+ cell dose which affect engraftment, immune reconstitution, GVH and GVL in these patients including recipient age, diagnosis, disease status at transplantation, donor/recipient tissue type match, preparative regimen, and GVHD prophylaxis. Thus the ability to produce products with a fixed CD3+ content is critical to further research and ultimately to the definition of the "right dose" of CD3+ cells for various clinical situations.

Patients who meet eligibility criteria will receive a peripheral blood stem cell product from their original matched sibling donor engineered to deliver a dose of 3.0+/-0.5 x107 CD3+ cells/kg recipient body weight. Other components of the graft will not be manipulated and the recipient will receive the total number of cells collected with the exception of minimal losses that occur during the process of CD3+ T cell isolation.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

15 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

  7. Renal: The estimated creatinine clearance (CrCl) must be equal or greater than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 as calculated by the Cockcroft-Gault Formula
  8. Performance status: Karnofsky ≥ 70%
  9. Hepatic (values to be less than what is considered grade II toxicity per the CTCAE (common terminology criteria for adverse events)

Exclusion criteria

  1. Uncontrolled infections, defined as positive blood cultures within 72 hours of study entry, or evidence of progressive infection by imaging studies such as chest CT scan within 14 days of registration.
  2. HIV positive patients.
  3. Prior autologous or allogeneic transplantation for any disease.
  4. Scheduled to receive non-myeloablative or reduced intensity conditioning regimen.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: CD3+ T-cell depletion
Device: CD3+ T cell depletion

The peripheral blood stem cell product is engineered to deliver a dose of 15 to 20 x10^7 CD3+ cells/kg recipient body weight. Other components of the graft will not be manipulated and the recipient will receive the total number of cells collected with the exception of minimal losses that occur during the process of CD3+ T cell isolation. Following collection, CD3+ T cells will be enumerated and a portion of the product containing 15 to 20 x10^7 CD 3+ cells/kg will be set aside. The remainder of the product will be depleted of CD3+ T cells.

Following CD3+ T cell depletion, the CD3+ T cell depleted product will then be combined with the unmanipulated product to provide the specified levels of CD3+ T cells/kg recipient body-weight. The graft is infused into the patient on the same day as selected and within 24 hours of donor aphaeresis.
