Related donor Adenovirus (ADV) specific cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) manufactured with the Miltenyi CliniMACS Prodigy Cytokine Capture System will be administered intravenously in in children, adolescents and young adults with refractory ADV infection post Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AlloHSCT), with primary immunodeficiencies (PID) or post solid organ transplant.

---|---|---|
Adenovirus Primary Immune Deficiency Disorder | Drug: cytotoxic t-lymphocytes | Phase 2 |
Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 20 participants |
Allocation: | N/A |
Intervention Model: | Single Group Assignment |
Intervention Model Description: | All eligible patients will receive one dose of CTLs at the same dose. Patients who meet the criteria may need additional CTL doses up to 5 total. |
Masking: | None (Open Label) |
Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | A Pilot Study in the Treatment of Refractory Adenovirus (ADV) Infection With Related Donor ADV Cytotoxic T-Lymphocytes (ADV-CTLs)in Children, Adolescents and Young Adult Recipients |
Actual Study Start Date : | November 1, 2018 |
Estimated Primary Completion Date : | August 31, 2023 |
Estimated Study Completion Date : | December 31, 2023 |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: patients with adenoviral infection
patients will receive CTL dose x 1 with 2.5 × 10(4) CD3/kg for matched related donor and 0.5 × 104 CD3/kg for mis-matched related donor. Patients who don't respond to the first infusion may receive up to a total 5 CTL infusions.
|
Drug: cytotoxic t-lymphocytes
adenovirus specific cytotoxic t-lymphocytes will be collected and manufactured from HLA matched related or HLA mis-matched related donors and administered to eligible patients with refractory adenovirus or PID.
Other Name: viral specific CTLs |
- Incidence of Treatment-Emergent Adverse Events [Safety and Tolerability] [ Time Frame: 12 weeks after each infusion ]Patients will be followed for adverse events following each infusion of ADV CTLs
- Incidence of Response to Treatment (Efficacy) [ Time Frame: 12 weeks after last infusion ]Patients will be followed for improvement in viral infection by monitoring ADV PCR weekly for response to treatment with CTLs

Females of childbearing potential with a negative urine pregnancy test
-
Donor Eligibility Related donor available with a T-cell response to the viral MACS® GMP PepTivator antigen(s) of adenovirus.
a. Third Party Related Allogeneic Donor: If original donor is not available or does not have a T-cell response: third party allogeneic donor (family donor > 1 HLA A, B, DR match to recipient) with a T-cell response at least to the viral MACS® GMP PepTivator antigen(s) of adenovirus.
AND Allogeneic donor disease screening is complete similar to hematopoietic stem cell donors (Appendix 1).
AND Obtained informed consents by donor or donor legally authorized representative prior to donor collection.
- Patient exclusion criteria:
A patient meeting any of the following criteria is not eligible for the present study:
. Patient with acute GVHD > grade 2 or extensive chronic GVHD at the time of CTL infusion Patient receiving steroids (>0.5 mg/kg prednisone equivalent) at the time of CTL infusion Patient treated with donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) within 4 weeks prior to CTL infusion Patient with poor performance status determined by Karnofsky (patients >16 years) or Lansky (patients ≤16 years) score ≤30% Concomitant enrollment in another experimental clinical trial investigating the treatment of refractory adenovirus infection(s) Any medical condition which could compromise participation in the study according to the investigator's assessment Known HIV infection Female patient of childbearing age who is pregnant or breast-feeding or not willing to use an effective method of birth control during study treatment.
Known hypersensitivity to iron dextran Patients unwilling or unable to comply with the protocol or unable to give informed consent.
Known human anti-mouse antibodies
