Treg Cells for AGVHD in Non-myeloablative UCB Transplant

NCT02118311

Description:

This is a Simon's optimal two-stage phase II trial designed to estimate grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) after infusion of T regulatory (nTreg) in a fixed dose ratio to the combined CD3+ cell count of the two graft units in recipients of double UCB transplantation. The nTreg cells (manufactured from a 3rd cord blood unit) are infused on day 0 at least 1 hour after the 2nd unit of the double umbilical cord blood (UCB) transplant. The nTreg cells require an 18 day (±2 days) lead time based on the planned transplant day. The combined CD3+ cell content from the two graft UCB units is enumerated upon thaw (day 0). The patient then receives the number of nTregs cells from the 3rd cord product to achieve a Treg:CD3+ cells ratio of 5:1. The nTreg cell dose depends on the CD3+ cell content of the two graft UCB graft units, but it will not exceed the highest dose level safely tested in the ongoing University of Minnesota phase I Treg dose escalation study MT 2006-01.

             (Appendix II)

          -  Three UCB units composing the graft will be selected according to the current
             University of Minnesota umbilical cord blood graft selection algorithm.

          -  Each UCB unit must be matched at 4-6 HLA-A, B, DRB1 antigens with the recipient. This
             may include 0-2 antigen mismatches at the A or B or DRB1 loci. Each unit must be a 4-6
             HLA-A, B, DRB1 antigen match to each other, not necessarily at the same loci they are
             matched to the recipient.

               -  Acute Leukemias: Must be in remission by morphology (<5% blasts). Note
                  cytogenetic relapse or persistent disease without morphologic relapse is
                  acceptable. Also a small percentage of blasts that is equivocal between marrow
                  regeneration versus early relapse are acceptable provided there are no associated
                  cytogenetic markers consistent with relapse.

          -  Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL) in first complete remission (CR1) that is NOT
             considered favorable-risk as defined by the presence of at least one of the following:
