Phase 1/2 clinical study for the treatment of steroid-refractory chronic graft versus host disease after an allogeneic transplant of hematopoietic progenitors with donor CliniMACS-selected regulatory T cells
Phase 1/2 clinical study evaluating safety (Phase 1) and preliminary efficacy (Phase 2) of donor regulatory T cells for patients with steroid-refractory chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Patients must have persistent signs and symptoms despite the use of prednisone or equivalent at ≥ 0.25 mg/kg/day (or 0.5 mg/kg every other day), for at least 4 weeks without complete resolution of signs and symptoms. Occasional patients requiring lower doses of prednisone will be eligible if associated with other immunosuppressive drugs. Phase 1 clinical trial will include groups of 5 patients sequentially treated with: 0.5 x 10ˆ6, 1.0 x 10ˆ6, 2-3 x 10ˆ6 donor Treg/kg. Phase 2 clinical trial will include another 5 to 10 patients treated with MTD. Donor Treg will be selected by the following sequential steps: 1. \- negative depletion of CD8 and CD19 cells 2. \- positive selection of CD25 cells

RECRUITINGProgression of graft versus host disease according to the 2014 NIH consensus criteria and myelosuppression after the administration of 3 doses of donor regulatory T cells / kg recipient's body weight: 0.5 x 10ˆ6, 1.0 x 10ˆ6 and 2.0-3.0 x 10ˆ6 cells
Progression of graft versus host disease and myelosuppression are indicators of toxicity and MTD associated with the infusion of donor regulatory T cells
Time frame: Response evaluated 12 weeks after infusion
