Viral Specific T-Lymphocytes to Treat Adenovirus, CMV and EBV
Sponsor: Jessie L. Alexander, MD
Summary
The primary purpose of this phase I/II study is to evaluate whether partially matched, ≥2/6 HLA-matched, viral specific T cells have efficacy against adenovirus, CMV or EBV in subjects who have previously received any type of allogeneic HCT or solid organ transplant (SOT), or have compromised immunity. Reconstitution of anti-viral immunity by donor-derived cytotoxic T lymphocytes has shown promise in preventing and treating infections with DNA viruses. However, the weeks taken to prepare patient-specific products, and cost associated with products that may not be used limits their value. In this trial, we will evaluate viral specific T cells generated by gamma capture technology. Eligible patients will include HCT and/or SOT recipients, and/or patients with compromised immunity who have adenovirus or CMV infection or refractory viremia that is persistent despite standard therapy. Infusion of the cellular product will be assessed for safety and efficacy.

Interventions
Adenovirus Specific T- Lymphocytes
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells will be collected from the donor and loaded onto our Miltenyi Biotec CliniMACS Prodigy® or CliniMACS® Plus where they will be stimulated in vitro with Adenovirus viral-specific antigen(s). The cells are then immunomagnetically labeled with interferon gamma via the cytokine capture system, captured and infused.
Cytomegalovirus Specific T-Lymphocytes
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells will be collected from the donor and loaded onto our Miltenyi Biotec CliniMACS Prodigy® or CliniMACS® Plus where they will be stimulated in vitro with Cytomegalovirus viral-specific antigen(s). The cells are then immunomagnetically labeled with interferon gamma via the cytokine capture system, captured and infused.
EBV Specific T-Lymphocytes
Peripheral blood mononuclear cells will be collected from the donor and loaded onto our Miltenyi Biotec CliniMACS Prodigy® or CliniMACS® Plus where they will be stimulated in vitro with Epstein barr viral-specific antigen(s). The cells are then immunomagnetically labeled with interferon gamma via the cytokine capture system, captured and infused.
