Study Summary
Allogeneic hematopoetic stem cell transplantation (SCT) is frequently complicated by life threatening viral reactivation. Conventional antiviral therapy is suboptimal for cytomegalovirus (CMV), adenovirus (AdV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) and nonexistent for BK virus (BKV). An alternative approach to prevent viral reactivation is to infuse virus-specific cytotoxic T cells (CTL) prepared from the donor early after SCT. Such multivirus-specific CTL cells (MVST) have been successfully used in a number of centers to prevent or treat CMV, Ad and EBV. Activity of BKV-reactive cells has not been studied. Multi virus-specific T cells (MVST) are donor lymphocytes that are highly enriched for viral antigens and expanded in vitro before infusion into the transplant recipient. Viral reactivation is a particular problem inT cell depleted SCT. Median time to CMV reactivation is estimated as 28 days post T-depleted transplant, but infusion of MVST within the immediate post-SCT period has not been previously studied. This protocol will be the first of a planned series of cellular therapies to be layered on our existing T lymphocyte depleted transplant platform protocol 13-H-0144. The aim of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of very early infusion of MVST directed against the four most common viruses causing complications after T-depleted SCT. GMP-grade allogeneic MVST from the stem cell donor will be generated using monocyte-derived donor dendritic cells (DCs) pulsed with overlapping peptide libraries of immunodominant antigens from CMV, EBV, Ad, and BKV and expanded in IL-7 and IL-15 followed by IL-2 for 10-14 days. A fraction of the routine donor leukapheresis for lymphocytes obtained prior to stem cell mobilization will be used to generate the MVST cells. MVST passing release criteria will be cryopreserved ready for infusion post SCT. Eligible subjects on NHLBI protocol 13-H-0144 will receive a single early infusion of MVST within 30 days (target day +14, ran
