About this study

Official title: Cytomegalovirus Specific Cytotoxic T Lymphocyte for the Treatment of Cytomegalovirus Infection After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation

Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality for recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT). we propose to study the immunologic and virologic effects of donor derived CMV specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CMV-CTL) given to transplant recipients

CMV antigen peptides will be used to induce the CMV antigen specific T lymphocytes derived from donor peripheral blood mononuclear cells for a period of 18~21 days.The patients will receive CMV-CTL cells when they are sero-positive for CMV-DNA 30 days after transplant. The CMV-DNA level will be monitored weekly after transfusion.

Read the detailed description

Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is widely used for the treatment of hematological malignancies and bone marrow failure diseases. Human cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality for recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT). Approximately half of the recipients would develop CMV infection after transplant. Present treatment recommendation for CMV infection including ganciclovir and foscarnet. However, these medications have many side effects, the most serious is myelosuppression and renal injury, moreover, many patients do not response to these medications. Considering the risk associated with persistent infection and the potential for CMV specific cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CMV-CTL) to restore immunity, we propose to study the immunologic and virologic effects of donor derived CMV-CTL given to transplant recipients, levels of CMV-CTL and CMV DNA will be measured from CTL recipients.

If the patient and their donor are eligible, we will take 80 ml of fresh blood from the donor or 5 ml peripheral blood stem cell from the donor.The peripheral blood mononuclear cells will be separated from peripheral blood or peripheral blood stem cell. CMV antigen peptides will be used to induce the CMV-CTL for a period of 18~21 days.

The donor derived CMV-CTL cells will be transfused into the patients' intravenous line. The patients will receive the dose of CMV-CTL cells when they are sero-positive for CMV-DNA 30 days after transplant. The CMV-DNA levels will be monitored weekly for at least 60 days after the transplant. If after the initial dose of CMV-CTL cells the patient develops a viral infection, then they may be eligible to receive one additional injection of CTLs. If the CMV levels in the blood continue to rise after the dose of T cells then the patient will receive treatment with Ganciclovir, Foscarnet.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • donor derived cytomegalovirus specific T lymphocytesBiological

    Also called cytomegalovirus specific T lymphocytes

    donor derived cytomegalovirus specific T lymphocytes will be transfused to recipients of hematopoietic stem cell transplant when they are sero-positive for CMV-DNA.

  • FoscarnetDrug

    Foscarnet may be used for the treatment of CMV infection before and after the CMV-CTL infusion.

  • GanciclovirDrug

    Ganciclovir may be used for the treatment of CMV infection before and after CMV-CTL infusion.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. 30-day response rate

    The percentage of patient whose serum CMV-DNA becomes negative in 30 days.

    Measured: from the date of CMV-CTL infusion to 30 days after the infusion

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. 1-year overall survival

    The length of patients who are alive in 1 years.

    Measured: from the date of transplant to 1 year after transplant

  2. 100-day incidence of acute GVHD

    the incidence of acute GVHD

    Measured: from the date of transplant to 100 days after transplant

  3. 1-year incidence of chronic GVHD

    the incidence of chronic GVHD

    Measured: from the date of transplant to 1 year after transplant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing donor derived cytomegalovirus specific T lymphocytes, Foscarnet and Ganciclovir in people with Cytomegalovirus Infections and Hematological Disease, run by Shanghai General Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine at 1 site in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

30-day response rate (time frame: from the date of CMV-CTL infusion to 30 days after the infusion). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Apr 2023.
