Phase I Study of Infusion of Umbilical Cord Blood (UCB) Derived CD25+CD4+ T-Regulatory (Treg) Cells After Nonmyeloablative Cord Blood Transplantation
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- Determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of umbilical cord blood (UCB)-derived
T-regulatory (Treg) cells.
Secondary
- Estimate the proportion of patients with detectable circulating Treg cells at 0, 1, 3,
7, and 14 days after infusion.
- Estimate the risk of grades II-IV and III-IV acute graft versus host disease (GVHD) at
day +100 with the infusion of Treg cells.
- Estimate the proportion of patients with sustained donor engraftment.
- Estimate the proportion of patients with double chimerism at 6 months and 1 year.
- Determine the speed and cumulative incidence of neutrophil recovery by day 42 and
platelet recovery by 6 months after UCB transplantation.
- Estimate the risk of chronic GVHD at 1 year.
- Estimate the probability of disease-free survival at 100 days and 1 year.
- Estimate the risk of fungal and viral infections at 1 year
- Estimate the risk of relapse at 1 year
- Characterize the pattern of immune cell recovery over 1 year
OUTLINE: This is a dose-escalation study of umbilical cord blood (UCB)-derived T-regulatory
(Treg) cells. Patients receive nonmyeloablative UCB transplantation and post-transplant
immunosuppression as in protocol UMN-2005LS036 (without antithymocyte globulin during
conditioning regimen).
- Nonmyeloablative conditioning and UCB transplantation: Patients receive allopurinol on
days -7 to day 0, fludarabine phosphate intravenously (IV) over 1 hour on days -6 to -2
and cyclophosphamide IV over 2 hours on day -6; undergo total-body irradiation (TBI)
once on day -1; and undergo UCB transplantation on day 0.
- Immunosuppression therapy: Beginning on day -3 and continuing until day +100, patients
receive sirolimus intravenously (IV) with 8-12 mg oral loading dose followed by a
single dose of 4mg/day with a target serum concentration of 3-12 mg/mL with a taper
until day +180. Patients also receive mycophenolate mofetil IV or orally every 8 hours
on days -3 to +30.
- Radiation therapy: total body irradiation is administered on Day -1 of 200 cGy.
- UCB Treg cell infusion: Patients receive escalating doses of UCB-derived CD4+ CD25+
Treg cells IV on day +1 (and Day +15 for dose level 5 only) until the maximum tolerated
dose is obtained.
After completion of study treatment, patients are followed at day 180, 360, and 720.
Interventional
Endpoint Classification: Safety Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment
Maximum tolerated dose
Nine dose levels of CD4+CD25+ Treg are scheduled with the doses being 1, 3, 10, 30, 30+30, 100, 300, 1000, and 3000 x 10^5 Treg/kg recipient body weight. The dose escalation will proceed in cohorts of one patient until the first dose limiting toxicity (DLT) is observed.
