Co-infusion of Treg-enriched Donor Lymphocytes With CD3-depleted Hematopoietic Stem Cell Graft to Prevent Graft-versus Host Disease After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Among Children With Hematologic Malignancies

January 16, 2026 updated by: Federal Research Institute of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Immunology

Pilot Study of Co-Infusion of Donor Lymphocytes Enriched With Regulatory T Lymphocytes With Ex-vivo CD3-Depleted Hematopoietic Stem Cell Graft for the Prevention of Graft-versus-Host Disease in Children With Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissue Neoplasms

Two key methods of GVHD prevention in allogeneic HSCT have a number of limitations: ex vivo T depletion is associated with an excess of infectious complications, and pharmacological immunosuppression with insufficient efficacy of GVHD prevention. Modern graft engineering technologies make it possible to create a graft with a balanced cell composition, reducing the risk of adverse events, in particular, severe forms of acute and chronic GVHD, while preserving the immunological function of the graft. In the proposed concept, enrichment of the T graft with regulatory cells will reduce the risk of GVHD and preserve a sufficient number of T lymphocytes in the graft for the formation of protective anti-infective immunity in the early stages after HSCT. The combination of partial T depletion and pharmacological immunosuppression minimized in volume and duration will combine the advantages of T depletion (early engraftment, low risk of GVHD, low risk of organ complications) and pharmacological prophylaxis (restoration of anti-infective immunity).
