Brief Title: Donor Cytomegalovirus-Specific Cytotoxic T-Lymphocytes in Treating Patients With a Persistent Cytomegalovirus Infection
Official Title: Most Closely HLA Matched Allogeneic CMV Specific Cytotoxic T-Lymphocytes (CTL) to Treat CMV Infection After Hemapoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT)
Study ID: NCT02210078
Brief Summary: This phase II trial studies how well donor cytomegalovirus-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes work in treating patients with a cytomegalovirus infection that has come back or has not gotten better despite standard therapy. White blood cells from donors who have been exposed to cytomegalovirus may be effective in treating patients with a cytomegalovirus infection.
Detailed Description: PRIMARY OBJECTIVE: I. To assess the efficacy, feasibility and safety of administering most closely human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched cytomegalovirus (CMV) specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes (HMC-CTLs) generated by "gamma-catch" to mediate antiviral activity in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients with CMV infections. SECONDARY OBJECTIVE: I. To assess the persistency of the administered HMC-CTLs generated by "gamma-catch" and their contribution immune reconstitution. OUTLINE: Patients receive allogeneic cytomegalovirus-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes intravenously (IV). Patients with partial response, stable disease, or progressive disease may receive an additional dose of allogeneic cytomegalovirus-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes at a minimum of 2 weeks from the first infusion. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically for 12 months.
