About this study
Official title: Phase I Study of Transfer of Effector Memory T Cells (Tem) Following Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplantation
RATIONALE: Following stem cell transplantation, a major risk is graft-versus-host disease (GVHD). This occurs when donor immune cells that have been infused recognise the host's cells as 'foreign' and attack these cells. Prevention of GVHD relies upon depletion of donor immune T cells or drugs that block T cell function. However, these methods also increase the risk of life threatening infection. There is an important unmet need for better means of accelerating immune recovery following stem cell transplantation while avoiding GVHD.
Pre-clinical studies have shown that infusion of donor CD62L- effector memory T cells (Tem) into the host improve immune recovery after allo-Stem Cell Transplant but do not cause GVHD.
PURPOSE: This phase I dose escalation trial aims to determine the feasibility and safety of transfer of donor Tem following allogeneic stem cell transplantation.
Read the detailed description
Phase I study using a Bayesian Time-to-Event Continual Reassessment Method (CRM) to determine safety and maximum tolerated dose (MTD) of CD62L- Tem.
Eligible patients and HLA-identical sibling donors will be registered prior to stem cell transplant (SCT). Donors will undergo an additional steady state apheresis for the collection of T cells between day -14 and day +24 of the allo-SCT according to logistics. Selection of Tem at the required dose will be performed at UCL Centre for Cell, Gene and Tissue Therapeutics (CCGTT) before distribution of the cryopreserved cells to the trial centre. Doses of Tem selected and infused will be: 1x10^5, 3x10^5, 1x10^6 or 3x10^6.
Donor Tem will be infused on day 24-32 following allo-SCT. Patients will be followed-up for 12 months with specific evaluation points just prior to Tem infusion and at 3, 6, 9 and 12 months following allo-SCT.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 1 study testing CD62L- Tem in people with Lymphoma and Leukemia, run by University College, London at 1 site in United Kingdom.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Oct 2019. 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 Kingdom. 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?
Results are not available in the source record.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Toyin Adedayo (0207 679 9867, ctc.totem@ucl.ac.uk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Occurrence of dose limiting toxicity (DLT) (time frame: up to 72 days after Tem infusion). 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 25 Oct 2019; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 26 Oct 2026.
