Treatment of Refractory BK Infections With Related Donor BK Specific Cytotoxic T-cells (CTLs)
Trial Status: active
BK cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) manufactured with the Miltenyi CliniMACS Prodigy Cytokine
Capture System will be safe and effective in decreasing specific viral load in children,
adolescents and young adults (CAYA) with refractory BK infection post Allogeneic
Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AlloHSCT) or with primary immunodeficiencies
(PID).
Inclusion Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
.1.1 Patients with refractory BK infection post allogeneic HSCT, post solid organ
transplantation or with primary immunodeficiencies with either
- Increasing urine and/or plasma BK RT-PCR DNA (by 1 log) after 7 days or persistent
quantitative qRT-PCR DNA copies after 14 days despite two weeks of appropriate
anti-viral therapy AND/OR
- Medical intolerance to anti-viral therapies including:
- 2 renal toxicity with cidofovir or other > grade 2 toxicities secondary to
cidofovir And/or
- known resistance to cidofovir 1.2. Consent: Written informed consent given (by
patient or legal representative) prior to any study-related procedures.
1.3 Performance Status > 30% (Lansky < 16 yrs and Karnofsky > 16 yrs) 1.4 Age: 0.1 to
79.99 years 1.5 Females of childbearing potential with a negative urine pregnancy test
Exclusion:
1. Patient with acute GVHD > grade 2 or extensive chronic GVHD at the time of BK CTL
infusion
2. Patient receiving steroids (>0.5 mg/kg prednisone equivalent) at the time of BK CTL
infusion
3. Patient treated with donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) within 4 weeks prior to BK CTL
infusion
4. Thymoglobulin (ATG) or Alemtuzumab within 30 days
5. Patient with poor performance status determined by Karnofsky (patients >16 years) or
Lansky (patients ≤16 years) score ≤30%
6. Concomitant enrollment in another experimental clinical trial investigating the
treatment of refractory BK infection.
7. Any medical condition which could compromise participation in the study according to
the investigator's assessment
8. Known HIV infection
9. Female patient of childbearing age who is pregnant or breast-feeding or not willing
to use an effective method of birth control during study treatment.
10. Known hypersensitivity to iron dextran
11. Patients unwilling or unable to comply with the protocol or unable to give informed
consent.
12. Known human anti-mouse antibodies
