Viral Specific T-Lymphocytes to Treat Adenovirus, CMV and EBV
Viral Specific T-Lymphocytes by Cytokine Capture System (CCS) to Treat Infection With Adenovirus, Cytomegalovirus or Epstein-Barr Virus After Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation or Solid Organ Transplantation and in Patients With Compromised Immunity
Study Overview
Status
Detailed Description
If a subject shows a partial response, defined as a decrease in viral load of at least 50% from baseline or 50% improvement of clinical signs and symptoms, or no response, they are eligible to receive up to 4 additional cellular infusions from the same donor, at a minimum of 14-day intervals. If the same donor is no longer available, eligible, or appropriate, another donor may be considered for a maximum of 4 total cellular infusions at the discretion of the study PI and treating physician. A subject will not exceed a maximum of 5 total infusions from 2 donors.
Subjects are followed for 1 year post initial viral-specific T cell infusion. If subjects receive additional infusion(s), GvHD and adverse events will be followed for an additional 90 days from last infusion. Data may be abstracted from subjects' medical charts for an additional 1 year after most recent viral-specific T cell infusion.

Description
- Patient, parent, or legal guardian must have given written informed consent, according to FDA guidelines. For patients ≥ 7 years of age who are developmentally able, assent or affirmation will be obtained, if feasible.

A. Adenovirus Infection or Disease:
- Active adenovirus infection: (i.e. gastroenteritis, pneumonia, hemorrhagic cystitis, hepatitis, pancreatitis, meningitis) defined as the demonstration of adenovirus by biopsy specimen from affected site(s) (by culture or histology), or the detection of adenovirus by culture, PCR or direct fluorescent antibody stain in fluid in the presence of worsening or persistent clinical or imaging findings despite at least 14 days of appropriate antiviral therapy (i.e. cidofovir, brincidofovir, or other available pharmacological agents) OR

- Biopsy proven lymphoma or posttransplant lymphoproliferative disease with EBV genomes detected in tumor cells by immunocytochemistry (i.e. EBER positive) or in situ PCR, OR
- Clinical or imaging findings consistent with EBV lymphoma and associated elevated EBV viral load in peripheral blood in a patient where biopsy is deemed too high risk, OR
- Failure of antiviral therapy, as determined by one of the two bullets below after three weeks of anti-CD20 targeted therapy such as Rituximab.
i. There was an increase or less than 50% response at sites of lymphoma disease or lymphoproliferation.

Donor Eligibility Criteria
- 12 years of age or older

- Required hemoglobin of 11g/dL
Exclusion Criteria:
- Received ATG or Alemtuzumab within 28 days of viral-specific T cell infusion and a lack of evidence of T cell survival, defined by <10 CD3+ T cells/uL (in unique situations, plasmapheresis may be considered).
- Active acute GVHD grades II-IV.
- Active extensive chronic GVHD.
- Received donor lymphocyte infusion, with the exception of a fraction of an umbilical cord blood, within 21 days of viral-specific T cell infusion. Subjects receiving a fraction of an umbilical cord blood within 21 days of the viral-specific T cell infusion will not be excluded.

- Anticipated initiation of new lymphotoxic therapy within 4 weeks of viral-specific T cell infusion.
- Patients who are pregnant or lactating.
- Past or current medical problems or findings from physical examination or laboratory testing that are not listed above, which, in the opinion of the investigator, may pose additional risks to participation in the study, may interfere with the participant's ability to comply with study requirements, or that may impact the quality or interpretation of the data obtained from the study.
Donor Exclusion Criteria
- Patients who are pregnant
- Patients who are HIV positive
- Uncontrolled infection
- Deemed high risk due to pre-existing medical condition

Arms and Interventions

Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Viral Specific T-Lymphocytes
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells will be collected from the donor and loaded onto our Miltenyi Biotec CliniMACS Prodigy® or CliniMACS® Plus where they will be stimulated in vitro with viral-specific antigen(s).
The cells are then immunomagnetically labeled with interferon gamma via the cytokine capture system.
By this method, viral specific, gamma-secreting T cells, are captured in a closed, sterile system.
