April 24, 2023 updated by: Liping Wan, Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine

Cytomegalovirus Specific Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte for the Treatment of Cytomegalovirus Infection After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality for recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT). we propose to study the immunologic and virologic effects of donor derived CMV specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CMV-CTL) given to transplant recipients

CMV antigen peptides will be used to induce the CMV antigen specific T lymphocytes derived from donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells for a period of 18~21 days.The patients will receive CMV-CTL cells when they are sero-positive for CMV-DNA 30 days after transplant. The CMV-DNA level will be monitored weekly after transfusion.

Detailed Description

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is widely used for the treatment of hematological malignancies and bone marrow failure diseases. Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality for recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT). Approximately half of the recipients would develop CMV infection after transplant. Present treatment recommendation for CMV infection including ganciclovir and foscarnet. However, these medications have many side effects, the most serious is myelosuppression and renal injury, moreover, many patients do not response to these medications. Considering the risk associated with persistent infection and the potential for CMV specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CMV-CTL) to restore immunity, we propose to study the immunologic and virologic effects of donor derived CMV-CTL given to transplant recipients, levels of CMV-CTL and CMV DNA will be measured from CTL recipients.

If the patient and their donor are eligible, we will take 80 ml of fresh blood from the donor or 5 ml peripheral blood stem cell from the donor.The peripheral blood mononuclear cells will be separated from peripheral blood or peripheral blood stem cell. CMV antigen peptides will be used to induce the CMV-CTL for a period of 18~21 days.

The donor derived CMV-CTL cells will be transfused into the patients' intravenous line. The patients will receive the dose of CMV-CTL cells when they are sero-positive for CMV-DNA 30 days after transplant. The CMV-DNA levels will be monitored weekly for at least 60 days after the transplant. If after the initial dose of CMV-CTL cells the patient develops a viral infection, then they may be eligible to receive one additional injection of CTLs. If the CMV levels in the blood continue to rise after the dose of T cells then the patient will receive treatment with Ganciclovir, Foscarnet.

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.

The patients will receive CMV-CTL cells when they are sero-positive for CMV-DNA 30 days after transplant. The CMV-DNA levels will be monitored weekly for at least 60 days after the transplant. If after the initial dose of CMV-CTL cells the patient develops a viral infection, then they may be eligible to receive one additional injection of CMV-CTLs. If the CMV levels in the blood continue to rise after the dose of T cells then the patient will receive treatment with Ganciclovir or Foscarnet.
