Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • 1. Age ≥12 years old (first 3 subjects will be ≥ 18 years)
  • 2. Grade 2-4 acute GVHD (aGVHD) at baseline
  • 3. No other prior aGVHD treatment
  • 4. Steroid Refractory
  • Progressed after 3 days of treatment with 2 mg/kg methylprednisolone (MPE)
  • No improvement after 7 days of treatment with 2 mg/kg MPE
  • Progressed to a new organ after treatment with 1 mg/kg MPE for skin or upper gastrointestinal (UGI) aGVHD
  • Progressed from nadir during or after a steroid taper
  • 5. Female subjects of childbearing potential (FPCP) must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test.
  • 6. Agreed to abide by all protocol required procedures including study-related assessments, visits and long term follow up.
  • 7. Willing and able to provide written informed consent.
  • 8. Signed informed consent

Exclusion Criteria:

  • 1. 30 days prior treatment with any other investigational agent after allogeneic HSCT.
  • 2. Known HIV seropositivity.
  • 3. Uncontrolled infection, not responding to appropriate antimicrobial agents after seven days of therapy. The Protocol PI is the final arbiter of eligibility.
  • 4. Subjects with uncontrolled inter-current illness that in the opinion of the investigator would place the subject at greater risk of severe toxicity and/or impair the activity of CK0802.
  • 5. Subjects who are pregnant or breastfeeding.

  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Treatment Arm
CK0802 Tregs will be administered intravenously at a fixed dose of 100 million Treg cells.
Biological: CK0802 (Allogeneic, Cryopreserved, Cord blood-derived T-regulatory cells, cells that are not HLA matched)

Subjects will receive seven planned doses of CK0802 on study day +1, +3 (+/-1 day), +5 (+/-1 day), +7 (+/- 2 day), +14 (+/- 3 days), +21 (+/-3 days) and +28 (+/-3 days). A total of 7 doses will be administered.

If Day 29 assessment shows PR or MR, then 4 additional weekly infusion of CK0802 Tregs can be administered (study days: 35 (+/- 2 day), 42 (+/- 2 day), 49 (+/- 2 day), and 55(+/- 2 day)), for a total of 11 infusions

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Phase 1b
Time Frame: Day +29

Dose limiting toxicities of CK0802 in SR GVHD as assessed by the incidence and severity of AE and SAEs determined by the NCI-CTCAE Version 6.0.

Non-Hematologic: Any ≥ Grade 3 non-hematologic AE as per CTCAE v6.0 Hematologic: Any new or worsened Grade 4 neutropenia, thrombocytopenia, or anemia compared with baseline that persists for >7 days despite supportive care and is not clearly and incontrovertibly attributable to the underlying disease or another extraneous cause.

Death: Death within 28 days that is not clearly and incontrovertibly attributable to the underlying disease or another extraneous cause
Day +29
Phase 2a
Time Frame: D +29

Overall Response (OR) at day +29. Overall response (OR) will include complete response (CR) and partial response (PR). Response to be determined from the maximum acute GVHD stage and grade in each organ.

Complete Response (CR): Stage 0 in all organs (skin, liver, and GI tract) and no intervening additional therapy Partial Response (PR): Improvement of at least 1 stage in 1 or more organs without progression in other organs, and no intervening additional therapy Overall Response (OR): Includes both CR and PR Very Good PR (VGPR): Improvement by at least one stage in one or more organs and

  • Skin: No rash, or bullae, and residual erythematous rash involving <25% of the body surface
  • Liver: Total serum bilirubin concentration of <2 mg/dL or <25% of baseline at enrollment
  • Gut: Tolerating food or enteral feeding, predominantly formed stools, no overt GI bleeding or abdominal cramping, no more than occasional nausea or vomiting
  • No intervening additional therapy
D +29
