Brief Title: Using Multi-virus Cytotoxic T-cells Following T-Cell Depleted Allogeneic HPCT for Prophylaxis Against EBV, ADV, and CMV
Official Title: A Phase I Study Of Using Multi-virus Cytotoxic T-cells Following T-cell Depleted Allogeneic Hematopoietic Progenitor Cell Transplantation For Prophylaxis Against Specific Pathogens- Epstein Barr Virus, Adenovirus, And Cytomegalovirus (ACE)
Study ID: NCT01535885
Brief Summary: This protocol is a phase I study. Patients may be eligible for an infusion of Multi-virus Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes (CTL) if they received a T-cell depleted (TCD) transplant from a related family member or an unrelated donor. Recipients of these types of transplants are severely immune compromised during the early post-transplant period and are more susceptible to certain viruses. The investigators hypothesize that the adoptive transfer of Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes (CTL) against certain viruses: Adenovirus, Cytomegalovirus and Epstein Barr Virus (Ad, CMV, and EBV) will be safe with regard to producing graft versus host disease (GVHD) or other infusion related toxicities.
Detailed Description: Within this clinical trial, the investigators will test the hypotheses that the administration of CTLs for prophylaxis against Ad, CMV and EBV in recipients of TCD-HPCT will be safe and well tolerated. Graded doses of Multi-Virus CTL will be administered to recipients of genotypically haploidentical or mismatched unrelated TCD grafts.
