Emergency Access to C.V. pp65 / IE-1 Specific Cytotoxic T Lymphocytes for Recipients of Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplants With Persistant or Therapy Refractory Infections


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- To provide access to cytomegalovirus (CMV) pp65- and IE-1-specific cytotoxic T
lymphocytes (CTL) in patients with persistent CMV infections after allogeneic stem cell
transplantation.

Secondary

- To characterize CMV pp65- and IE-1-specific immune responses in terms of cytotoxicity
and cytokine production pre-infusion and then periodically thereafter.

- To characterize the levels of CMV DNA in recipients of CMV pp65- and IE-1-specific CTL
and observe whether the CTL infusion has any impact on level of virus.

- To determine the feasibility of CMV CTL culture from CMV-seronegative donors who have
received a CMV vaccine.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive allogeneic cytomegalovirus (CMV) pp65- and IE-1-specific cytotoxic T-cell
lymphocytes infusion over 5 minutes 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- and IE-1-specific cytotoxicity, and immunophenotype for CD3, CD4, CD8, CD56,
CD19, and CD45RA/RO. 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 therapy, patients are followed periodically for up to 1 year.

Inclusion Criteria


DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:

- Recipient of an allogeneic stem cell transplantation

- Cytomegalovirus (CMV)-seropositive and meeting 1 of the following criteria:

- Patient has a history of CMV antigenemia for ≥ 2 weeks

- CMV DNA levels ≥ 600 copies/mcg of DNA despite antiviral therapy targeting CMV
(e.g., ganciclovir or foscarnet)

- No ongoing graft-vs-host disease

- Has donor available for peripheral blood mononuclear cell collection (for cytotoxic T
lymphocytes production), meeting either of the following criteria:

- CMV-seropositive donor (≥ 2 years of age)

- CMV-seronegative related donor (≥ 18 years of age) who consents to receive the
CMV vaccine

PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
