Dose-ranging Study of a Single Administration of T-cell Add-back Depleted of Host Alloreactive Cells in Patients Undergoing a Peripheral Blood Stem Cell Transplant From a Related, Haploidentical Donor

Phase 1

Conditions

Interventions
Biological: Donor lymphocyte preparation depleted of functional host alloreactive T-cells (ATIR)
Registration Number
NCT00993486
Lead Sponsor
Kiadis Pharma
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the maximum tolerated dose and evaluate the safety of the administration of donor lymphocytes depleted of alloreactive T-cells following a stem cell transplant from a related, haploidentical donor, in patients with severe hematologic malignancies.

Detailed Description

Allogeneic stem cell transplantation is the treatment of choice for many patients with leukemia and other hematologic malignancies. However, a major limitation of this therapy is that for a significant number of patients no fully HLA-matched donor can be found. The application of partially HLA-matched (haploidentical) family donors, who are virtually always available, has some complications. If there is no T-cell add-back it increases the risk for life-threatening infections and disease relapse, while in case of T-cell add-back the risk of graft-versus-host disease is raised.

Kiadis Pharma has developed a method to selectively deplete host alloreactive T-cells through photodynamic therapy, using TH9402 ex vivo. The donor lymphocyte preparation depleted of functional alloreactive T-cells (ATIR) are administered to the patient 4-6 weeks after the stem cell transplant. This method enables early immune reconstitution while preventing graft-versus-host disease.

Inclusion Criteria
  • Any of the following hematologic malignancies: very high risk leukemia, acute leukemia, chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), lymphoma, multiple myeloma (MM), myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS)
  • Incompatibility at two to three loci (HLA-A, B and/or DR) or a single DR locus of the unshared haplotype between the donor and recipient

  • Pregnancy
  • Viral hepatitis (B or C)
  • Active serious infectious process
  • HIV positivity;
  • Systemic dysfunction (cardiac, pulmonary, hepatic and renal) contra-indicating allogeneic stem cell transplantation
  • Prior allogeneic transplantation
  • Prior autologous transplantation within twelve months of baseline visit
  • Any abnormal condition or laboratory result that is considered by the principal investigator capable of altering patient condition or study outcome
  • Active central nervous system (CNS) disease at baseline
  • Participation in a trial with an investigational agent within 30 days prior to entry in the study
  • Malignant cells in circulating peripheral blood (> 25%)
  • Other active malignant disease that would severely limit life expectancy
