Trial of Third Party Donor Derived CMVpp65 Specific T-cells for The Treatment of CMV Infection or Persistent CMV Viremia After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

September 23, 2024 updated by: Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center

A Phase II Trial of Third Party Donor Derived CMVpp65 Specific T-cells for The Treatment of CMV Infection or Persistent CMV Viremia After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

The purpose of this study is to see how well transfusions of T-cells work in treating CMV. Tcells are a type of white blood cell that helps protect the body from infection. A transfusion is the process by which blood from one person is transferred to the blood of another. In this case, the T-cells are made from the blood of donors who are immune to CMV. The T-cells are then grown and taught to attack the CMV virus in a lab.

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.

Expanded Access

Expanded Access

A way for patients with serious diseases or conditions who cannot participate in a clinical trial to gain access to a medical product that has not been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Also called compassionate use. There are different expanded access types.
No longer available

No longer available

  • Available: Expanded access is currently available for this investigational treatment, and patients who are not participants in the clinical study may be able to gain access to the drug, biologic, or medical device being studied.
  • No longer available: Expanded access was available for this intervention previously but is not currently available and will not be available in the future.
  • Temporarily not available: Expanded access is not currently available for this intervention but is expected to be available in the future.
  • Approved for marketing: The intervention has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use by the public.

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

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Each patient must satisfy at least one of the following criteria:

    1. The patient must have a clinically documented condition associated with CMV (e.g. interstitial pneumonia, hepatitis, retinitis, colitis) Or
    2. The patient must have microbiological evidence of CMV viremia or tissue invasion as attested by viral culture, or detection of levels of CMV DNA in the blood or body fluids consistent with CMV infection.

  • Patient must also satisfy at least one of the following criteria:

    1. The patient's CMV infection is clinically progressing or CMV viremia is persistent or increasing (as evidenced by quantitation of CMV DNA in the blood) despite two weeks induction therapy with antiviral drugs.

      Or

    2. The patient has developed CMV viremia as attested by viral culture, or detection of levels of CMV DNA in blood or body fluids while receiving prophylactic doses of antiviral drugs to prevent CMV infection post transplant.

      Or

    3. The patient is unable to sustain treatment with antiviral drugs due to drug associated toxicities (e.g. myelosuppression [ANC< 1000μl/ml without GCSF support] or nephrotoxicity [corrected creatinine clearance ≤ 60 ml/min/1.73 m^2 or serum creatinine > 2 mg/dl]) CMV infections are life threatening, and may involve multiple organ systems such as the lungs, liver, gastrointestinal tract, hematopoietic and central nervous systems. Antiviral drugs used for treatment may also compromise renal and hematopoietic function. Therefore, dysfunctions of these organs will not affect eligibility for this protocol.

  • Patients must meet the following clinical criteria to receive CMVpp65-CTL infusions

    1. Stable blood pressure and circulation, not requiring pressor support
    2. Evidence of adequate cardiac function as demonstrated by EKG and/or echocardiography.
    3. A life expectancy of at least 3 weeks, even if requiring artificial ventilation.
    4. There are no age restrictions

  • Patient must also satisfy at least one of the following criteria:

    1. The patient's HCT donor has not been previously infected by or sensitized to CMV (e.g. a cord blood transplant or a marrow or PBSC transplant from a seronegative donor).
    2. The patient's HCT donor, if seropositive, is either not available or not willing to provide leukocytes for generation of CMV-specific T-cells.
    3. There are CMVpp65-specific T-cells available in appropriate doses in the MSKCC Adoptive Immune T-cell Therapy Bank that are matched with the patient for 1 HLA allele and that exhibit CMVpp65-specific cytotoxic activity that is restricted by an HLA allele shared by the patient

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients requiring high doses of glucocorticosteroids (≥ 0.3 mg/kg prednisone or its equivalent)
  • Patients who are moribund
  • Patients with other conditions not related to CMV infection (e.g. uncontrolled bacterial sepsis or invasive fungal infection) which are also life-threatening and which would preclude evaluation of the effects of a T-cell infusion.
  • Patients who are pregnant

Experimental: CMVpp65-CTL T-cells
The T-cells to be infused will be selected from our bank of GMP grade CMVpp65-CTL. T-cells will be administered by bolus intravenous infusion. In this phase II trial, patients will be treated at doses of 1 x 10^6 CMVpp65-CTL/kg/dose/week for 3 weeks. Patients will be observed for the following 3 weeks. Additional 3 week courses of CMVpp65-CTL may be administered if levels of CMV DNA in blood are still detectable despite disease stabilization or improvement.
Biological: CMVpp65 Specific T-cells
