About this study

Official title: Specific Cellular Immunotherapy in Patients With Chronic Myeloid Leukemia After Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation

Efforts to decrease the risk of GvHD by depleting T cells from the graft in CML patients have been complicated by an increased incidence of leukemia-relapse. Newer protocols using CD34+ selected hematopoietic cells from matched-sibling donors and subsequent infusion of T cells in incremental doses to treat or avoid relapse of disease seem to be more promising. In this study, we try to further optimize this approach by the prophylactic infusion of cytotoxic T cells activated ex-vivo against leukemia-associated/specific antigens using peptide-pulsed dendritic cells.

Read the detailed description

The conditioning protocol contains:

Total Body Irradiation 8-12 Gy (4-6 x 2 Gy, a 2 x/die) day -9 to-7 Thiotepa 10 mg/kg (2 x 5 mg/kg) day -5 Fludarabine 200 mg/m2 (5 x 40 mg/m2) day -6 to-2 ATG Fresenius 25 mg/kg (5 x 5 mg/kg) day -6 to-2 Cyclosporine A 1 mg/kg Day -10 to-3

on day 0 CD34+ cells after immunomagnetic selection are infused. > 4 x 10e6/kg CD34 cells/kg are required.

On days 28, 56 and 112 after transplantation, cytotoxic T cells generated in-vitro are infused in patients who do not have signs of acute GvHD.

Regular follow-up compromises immune monitoring including Tetramer analyses of Peptide-reactive T cells

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Application of activated donor T cellsProcedure or surgery

    Ex-vivo generated donor T cells stimulated by antigen presenting cells loaded with peptides derived from leukemia-associated antigens

What is being measured

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Application of activated donor T cells in people with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia, run by University Hospital Carl Gustav Carus at 1 site in Germany.

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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jun 2013. 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 Germany. 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 combined 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.

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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 is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Feasibility of the infusion of in-vitro activated donor T cells (time frame: 5 years). 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?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00460629, which also lists 2 linked publications.

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 20 Jun 2013; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
