A Phase I Trial to Examine the Safety, Clinical, Immunologic and Virologic Effects of CMV pp65 Specific Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes for Recipients of Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplants With Persistent or Therapy Refractory Infections


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- To determine the safety of infusing cytomegalovirus (CMV) pp65-specific cytotoxic
T-lymphocytes (CTL) generated using pp65 peptides in patients who have undergone
allogeneic stem cell transplantation and have persistent CMV infections.

Secondary

- Characterize CMV pp65-specific immune responses in terms of cytotoxicity and cytokine
production pre-infusion and then periodically thereafter.

- Characterize the levels of CMV DNA in recipients of CMV pp65 CTL and observe whether
the CTL infusion has any impact on the level of virus.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive cytomegalovirus (CMV) pp65 cytotoxic T-cell infusion on day 1. Patients may
receive up to 2 more doses at least 2 weeks after previous dose.

Blood samples are collected and analyzed by quantitative CMV PCR, chromium release assays
for CMV pp65-specific cytotoxicity, and immunophenotype for CD3, CD4, CD8, CD56, CD19, and
CD45 RA/RD. Intracellular cytofluorometry is used to assess IL-2, IL-4, IL-10, and IFN-γ
production by CD4 and CD8 CMV-specific effector cells.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed periodically for up to 1 year.
