Phase 1-2 MAHCT w/ TCell Depleted Graft w/ Simultaneous Infusion Conventional and Regulatory T Cell

NCT01660607

Description:

For patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing allogeneic myeloablative (MA) HCT with a T cell depleted graft, the infusion of naturally occurring regulatory T cells with conventional T cells (T cell add back) in pre-defined doses and ratios will reduce the incidence of acute graft vs host disease while augmenting the graft vs leukemia effect and improving immune reconstitution.

Purpose

For patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing allogeneic myeloablative (MA) HCT with a T cell depleted graft, the infusion of naturally occurring regulatory T cells with conventional T cells (T cell add back) in pre-defined doses and ratios will reduce the incidence of acute graft vs host disease while augmenting the graft vs leukemia effect and improving immune reconstitution.

Detailed Description

      Primary Objectives:

        -  To determine the efficacy, safety and feasibility of administration of several dose
           combinations of conventional T cells (Tcon) and regulatory T cells (Treg) in patients
           undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with HLA matched donors
           (related or unrelated) using a T cell depleted graft [CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor
           cells ("CD34+ HSPC")], without immune suppression.

        -  To determine the maximum tolerated dose of infused regulatory and conventional T cells
           in the matched donor setting

        -  To determine 1 year event free survival (EFS) post HCT

      Secondary Objectives:

        -  To determine the 1 year OS in patients undergoing allogeneic HCT with matched donors.

        -  To measure the incidence and severity of acute and chronic graft vs host disease (GvHD)

        -  To measure incidence of serious infections

NameTypeDescriptionInterventions
Dose escalationExperimentalFor the Phase I arm of the study the addition of planned numbers and ratios of Treg compared to Tcon will occur at defined time points after hematopoietic cell infusion. Each cohort will have 3 patients per group. The initial doses and ratios utilized will be 1 x 10^6/kg of T reg cells to 3x10^6/kg of Tcon cells at a 1:3 ratio. In order to progress to the next dose level, there must be no evidence of grade 3 or 4 acute GVHD.
