Adults and children being screened for an active NHLBI protocol

Georg Aue, M.D.

This study allows the evaluation of subjects in order to determine their ability to safely participate in other active research studies.

After subjects complete the screening process, they will be offered the opportunity to participate in an active research study, or if no appropriate studies are available information and recommendations will be provided for other treatment options....

This protocol is designed for screening of subjects before a decision can be made as to their eligibility for one of the active National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) research protocols. Its purpose is to allow detailed investigation into the hematologic or oncologic problems of these subjects, and the status of other organ systems that would determine their ability to safely tolerate specific aspects of active research protocols. It allows investigation as to whether a donor is HLA matched, fit to receive G-CSF, and fit to undergo apheresis and therefore eligible to participate as a donor on a bone marrow transplant protocol. It also allows the investigation as to whether subjects are eligible for participation as normal volunteer based on protocol eligibility criteria that requires generally good health status by history or physical exam findings, or laboratory assessments. After completion of this screening process, the subject will either be offered a chance to participate in an active research protocol, or if no appropriate protocol is identified, subjects with hematologic or oncologic disease will have recommendations for other treatment options relayed to the primary or referring physician.

Primary objective is to determine subject eligibility for participation on NHLBI protocols.

Primary endpoint is the results of clinical, imaging and laboratory assessments.

Adult and minor donors of hematopoietic stem

Adult and minor patients (recipients) requiring allogeneic hema

1. Adult recipient:

   * collected 20 ml pre-transplant
   * collected 30 ml for adults on day 20 post-transplant at engraftment for cell phenotype,
   * collected 30 ml on days 30, 60, 90, 180, 360 days post-HSCT for cell phenotyping at all time points, functional INKT at day 60 or 90 depending on the number of cells collected and anti-viral ELISPOT studies on days 180 and 360
2. Children recipients

   * collected residual blood pre-transplant
   * collected residual blood on day 20 post-transplant at engraftment for cell phenotype,
   * collected residual blood on days 20, 30, 90, 180 and 360 post-HSCT

Recipients

1. Adult donors :

   * collected 20 ml of blood, (if possible before granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (GCSF) administration)
   * collected 1 ml of the stem cell graft for adult recipient or 2 ml of bone marrow for children recipients These samples will be collected at the same time of those needed for transplant.
2. Children donors samples

   * collected residual blood
   * 2ml of bone marrow (bottom of tube)

The purpose of this study is to confirm that invariant NKT lymphocytes (iNKT) reconstitution in recipient and in the graft content can predict the outcome of human allogeneic HSCT and to set up an algorithm for clinical practice that would allow the prediction of acute GVHD risk according to the quantity and functionality

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) remains the only curative treatment in most haematological malignancies. However, its anti-tumor effect (GVT) is often associated with the development of a graft versus host disease (GVHD) and impaired immune anti-infectious responses. The predictive and protective features of iNKT cells on the development of acute GVHD (aGVHD) are not or poorly known in humans and their mechanisms of action, in particular their potential interactions with the other regulatory effectors and immune actors of the allogeneic response, remain to be explored.

Our project aims, first, to show that the post-transplant reconstitution and/or the content of the graft in some immunoregulatory T lymphocytes can early predict the post-transplant clinical outcome and, second, to explore the underlying immunological mechanisms. For that, we propose to analyse, in homogeneous cohorts of allografted patients and their donors, the levels of iNKT cells and other cell populations implicated in the allogeneic immune response (Tregs, mucosa-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells, delta gammaT and anti-viral specific T cells) and correlate the results to the post-transplant outcome (GVHD, infections, relapse, survival). This study will be performed in a cohort of 80 adult allografted patients in four transplant departments in Paris (hospitals of Necker, Saint Antoine, Saint Louis and La Pitié Salpétrière) and in a cohort of 60 allografted paediatric patients (Robert Debré hospital in Paris). Sequential blood samples of patients will be drawn to monitor the immune reconstitution of the different lymphocyte populations of interest by flow cytometry and perform functional studies on iNKT (ex vivo expansion capacities and cytokine production). These analyses will be also performed in the corresponding donors from blood samples collected before the collection process and from the grafts (obtained by the cell therapy departments of Necker, La Pitié Salpétrière and Saint Louis hospitals). In addition, we plan to analyse the effect of, and the mechanisms by which, human cluster of differentiation 4 (CD4) CD4- and CD4+ iNKT cells might control the allogeneic response in vitro, particularly via their potential interactions with dendritic cells and Tregs. According to the results of the mechanistic studies, we will test the effect of human subtypes of iNKT cells on the GVH/GVL affects in a preclinical humanized mouse model of allogeneic HSCT.

The clinical and biological data will be anonymously entered in the electronic case report by the investigators up to 3 years post transplant.
