Adoptive Transfer of Cord Blood T Cells to Prevent and Treat CMV and Adenovirus Infections After Transplantation


RATIONALE: Donor lymphocytes that have been treated in the laboratory may help prevent or
treat cytomegalovirus infection or adenovirus infection in patients who have undergone
umbilical cord blood transplant.

PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects and best dose of donor lymphocytes
in preventing and treating cytomegalovirus infection or adenovirus infection in patients who
have undergone umbilical cord blood transplant.


OBJECTIVES:

Primary

- To determine the safety, toxicity, and maximum-tolerated dose of donor-derived
cytotoxic T-cell lymphocytes (CTLs) specific for cytomegalovirus (CMV) and adenovirus
in patients with or at risk for CMV or adenovirus infection after umbilical cord blood
transplantation.

Secondary

- To evaluate the feasibility of generating a sufficient number of umbilical cord
blood-derived CTLs specific for CMV and adenovirus.

- To evaluate the impact of these CTLs on CMV-specific T-lymphocyte immune
reconstitution.

- To evaluate the impact of these CTLs on adenovirus-specific T-lymphocyte immune
reconstitution.

- To evaluate the recovery of virus-specific immunity after CTL infusion and its
correlation with viral clearance and/or protection from viral infection or disease.

OUTLINE: This is a multicenter study.

Patients receive a single infusion of cytomegalovirus/adenovirus-specific cytotoxic T-cell
lymphocytes over 1-2 minutes.

Peripheral blood samples may be collected to phenotype peripheral blood T-cells and to
analyze immunological parameters.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up periodically for up to 12
months.
