CD45RA Depleted T Cell Infusion after Alpha/Beta Depleted Stem Cell Transplant for the Reduction of Complications in Patients at Risk for Viral or Fungal Infections

Trial Status: active

This phase I trial studies the side effects of CD45RA depleted T cell infusion given after an alpha/beta depleted stem cell transplant, and to see how well it works in reducing complications in patients at risk for viral or fungal infections. There is a higher rate of complications using cells from an unrelated or partially matched related donor. Some donor cells may cause a complication called graft versus host disease (GVHD) and an infection with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). In this study, the CliniMACs device is used before the transplant to remove alpha/beta T cells that may cause GVHD and B cells that carry EBV. The device is also used to remove CD45RA T cells. Giving CD45RA depleted T cells after the transplant may reduce some of the complications of the transplant and decrease the time it takes for the new stem cells to grow in the body.
