About this study
Official title: A Phase I Pilot Trial to Evaluate the Toxicity of Allogeneic Epstein-Barr Virus Specific T-Lymphocytes for the Treatment of EBV-Associated Lymphoproliferative Diseases in Organ Transplant Recipients
RATIONALE: Donor lymphocytes that have been exposed to Epstein-Barr virus may be able to help the body kill cancers associated with this virus.
PURPOSE: Phase I trial to study the effectiveness of Epstein-Barr virus-specific T cells derived from matched donors in organ transplant patients with lymphoproliferative diseases associated with Epstein-Barr virus.
Read the detailed description
OBJECTIVES: I. Examine the toxic effects of allogeneic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) for the treatment of EBV lymphoproliferative diseases (LPD) in organ transplant recipients. II. Determine the level of in vivo expansion of allogeneic CTL and the period of time during which these CTL's can be detected in the blood of recipients of the T cell infusions.
OUTLINE: Donors undergo leukapheresis, and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) specific cytoxic T lymphocytes are cultivated in vitro. Patients receive infusions of EBV specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes over 5 to 10 minutes on weeks 0, 2, and 4. Patients with stable disease and those achieving partial remission are followed weekly for signs of disease progression.
PROJECTED ACCRUAL: 10 patients will be accrued in this study.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing allogeneic Epstein-Barr virus-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes in people with Leukemia and Lymphoma, run by University of Alabama at Birmingham at 1 site in United States.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 10 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 21 Mar 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of adverse events associated with administration of allogeneic Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) for the treatment of EBV lymphoproliferative diseases (LPD) in organ transplant recipients (time frame: baseline to x weeks post infusion). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 21 Mar 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
