Primary Transplant Donor Derived CMVpp65 Specific T-cells for The Treatment of CMV Infection or Persistent CMV Viremia After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
A Phase 2 study testing CMV-pp65 CTLs in people with Cytomegalovirus, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
The purpose of this study is to see how well transfusions of T-cells work in treating CMV. T-cells are a type of white blood cell that helps protect the body from infection. A transfusion is the process by which blood from one person is transferred to the blood of another. Read more about this study

Who may be able to join
- Each patient must satisfy at least one of the following criteria:
- The patient must have a clinically documented condition associated with CMV (e.g. interstitial pneumonia, hepatitis, retinitis, colitis) Or
- The patient must have microbiological evidence of CMV viremia or tissue invasion as attested by viral culture, or detection of levels of CMV DNA in the blood or body fluids consistent with CMV infection.

- The patient has developed CMV viremia as attested by viral culture, or detection of levels of CMV DNA in blood or body fluids while receiving prophylactic doses of antiviral drugs to prevent CMV infection post transplant.
- Or c. The patient is unable to sustain treatment with antiviral drugs due to drug associated toxicities (e.g. myelosuppression [ANC< 1000μl/ml without GCSF support] or nephrotoxicity [corrected creatinine clearance ≤ 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 or serum creatinine > 2 mg/dl]) Patient has CMV specific T-cells from the donor of his/her HSCT available. CMV infections are life threatening, and may involve multiple organ systems such as the lungs, liver, gastrointestinal tract, hematopoietic and central nervous systems. Antiviral drugs used for treatment may also compromise renal and hematopoietic function.

About this study
Official title: A Phase II Trial of Primary Transplant Donor Derived CMVpp65 Specific T-cells for The Treatment of CMV Infection or Persistent CMV Viremia After Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
The purpose of this study is to see how well transfusions of T-cells work in treating CMV. T-cells are a type of white blood cell that helps protect the body from infection. A transfusion is the process by which blood from one person is transferred to the blood of another. In this case, the T-cells are made from the blood of donors who are immune to CMV. The T-cells are then grown and taught to attack the CMV virus in a lab.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
CMV-pp65 CTLsBiological
Patients will be treated with CMVpp65-CTLs derived from their transplant donor. These will be patients with CMV seropositive transplant donors who have previously provided leukocytes for generation of CMVpp65-CTL and for whom such CMVpp65-CTL are available. The T-cells to be infused will be selected based on criteria mentioned in section 4.0 from our bank of GMP grade CMVpp65-CTL. T-cells will be administered by bolus intravenous infusion. In this phase II trial, patients will be treated at doses of 1 x 106 CMVpp65-CTL/kg/dose/week for 3 weeks. Patients will be observed for the following 3 weeks. Additional 3 week courses of CMVpp65-CTL may be administered if levels of CMV DNA in blood are still detectable despite disease stabilization or improvement.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Group I | Experimental | This is a single-arm non-randomized single institution phase 2 trial, designed to evaluate the therapeutic activity of CMVpp65-CTLs generated from seropositive HSCT donors when adoptively transferred into transplant recipients with persistent CMV infection or viremia. Patients eligible for this trial will be consenting recipients of related or unrelated HSCT who have an active CMV infection or persistent CMV viremia for ≥ 2 weeks despite treatment with anti-viral agents or who cannot be maintained on anti-viral therapy due to treatment related toxicity. Receives: Biological: CMV-pp65 CTLs |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With a Complete Response
The endpoint of this study is complete response, defined as the clearance of the CMV infection 3-7 weeks following completion of the last cycle of CMV CTLs. The evaluation of treatment efficacy will be assessed separately for patients receiving CMV specific T cells from their transplant donor.
Measured: 3 years
Number of Participants With Toxicities
For the evaluation of toxicities, the NCI Standard Toxicity Scale 4.0 will be employed.
Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing CMV-pp65 CTLs in people with Cytomegalovirus, run by Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center 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 12 inclusion and 11 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 16 Dec 2020. 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 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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 16 Dec 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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 Participants With a Complete Response (time frame: 3 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?
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 16 Dec 2020.
