Clinical Study of EBV-TCR-T Cells for EBV Infection After Allogenic HSCT

Phase 1
Recruiting
Conditions
EBV Infection After Allogenic HSCT
Interventions
Biological: EBV-TCR-T cells
Registration Number
NCT06119256
Lead Sponsor
Chinese PLA General Hospital
Brief Summary

This is a multi-center, single arm, open-label, phase I study to determine the safety and effectiveness of EBV-TCR-T cell immunotherapy in treating EBV virus infection after allogenic HSCT.

Detailed Description

EB virus (EBV) infection after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is common and can be lethal without prompt treatment. In this prospective study, HLA-A\*02:01/11:01/24:02-restricted EBV-specific T cell receptor (TCR) will be introduced into the T cells of HSCT donors by ex vivo lentiviral transduction to generate EBV-TCR-T cells. An escalated dose ranging from 3×10\^5/kg to 1×10\^6/kg of EBV-TCR-T cells will be infused into patients with EBV infection. The safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics and cytokine levels of allogenic EBV-TCR-T cell therapy will be evaluated.
