RECRUITING

Expanded/Activated Gamma Delta T-cell Infusion Following Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation and Post-transplant Cyclophosphamide

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

Gamma delta T-cells are part of the innate immune system with the ability to recognize malignant cells and kill them. This study uses gamma delta T-cells to maximize the anti-tumor response and minimize graft versus host disease (GVHD) in leukemic and myelodysplastic patients who have had a partially mismatched bone marrow transplant (haploidentical).

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Ages Eligible for Study:18 Years to 65 Years
Sexes Eligible for Study:ALL
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:No
Standard Ages:ADULT, OLDER_ADULT
Inclusion CriteriaExclusion Criteria
  1. * Patients with neoplastic hematological disorders with indication of allogeneic transplant according to the National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) or other standard guidelines as follows:
  2. * Acute myeloid leukemia \[AML\] in morphologic complete remission with intermediate/high-risk features (per NCCN criteria) or relapsed disease
  3. * Chronic myeloid leukemia \[CML\] in any chronic phase.
  4. * Myelodysplastic syndrome \[MDS\] with intermediate/high risk features or refractory disease (with bone marrow blast count \<10%).
  5. * Acute lymphoblastic leukemia \[ALL\] in morphologic complete remission with high-risk features or relapsed disease.
  6. * Negative test for donor-specific antibody within 28 days of starting conditioning regimen.
  7. * Age Criteria: 19-65 years.
  8. * Organ Function Criteria: The following organ function testing should be done within 35 days before study registration.
  9. * Cardiac: Normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) (50% or above) as measured by MUGA or Echocardiogram.
  10. * Pulmonary: FVC, FEV1 and DLCO (corrected) should be 50% or above of expected.
  11. * Renal: serum creatinine level to be \<2 mg/dl AND estimated (Cockcroft-Gault formula) or measured (takes priority if done) creatinine clearance (CrCl) must be equal or greater than 70 mL/min/1.73 m2.
  12. * Hepatic: serum bilirubin 1.5 upper limit of normal (ULN), Aspartate transaminase (AST)/alanine transaminase (ALT) 2.5 ULN, and alkaline phosphatase 2.5 ULN.
  13. * Performance status: Karnofsky performance score (KPS) or Lansky score: ≥80.
  14. * Hematopoietic cell transplant comorbidity index (HCT-CI) \<3. Exception may be made on individual cases after discussion with the primary investigator.
  15. * Consent: All patients must be informed of the investigational nature of this study and given written informed consent in accordance with institutional and federal guidelines.
  16. * Absence of uncontrolled infection with sepsis syndrome (e.g persistent positive blood culture).
  17. * NO hemodynamic instability (due to sepsis or organ dysfunction) or circulatory volume overload.
  18. * NO clinically significant organ toxicity that are defined as follows:
  19. * Heart failure with subnormal LVEF or clinical fluid overload.
  20. * Elevated serum creatinine or subnormal creatinine clearance (either estimated or measured).
  21. * Elevated total bilirubin ≥1.5 upper normal level (unless indirect hyperbilirubinemia attributed to non-hepatic pathology), or elevated liver enzymes (ALT, AST, ALP) \>5 x ULN.
  22. * Hypoxemia requiring oxygen therapy
  23. * NO acute graft versus host disease (any grade).
  24. * Neutrophil engraftment.
  1. * Non-compliant patients.
  2. * No appropriate caregivers identified.
  3. * Uncontrolled medical or psychiatric disorders which may preclude patients to undergo clinical studies (Discretion of the attending physician).
  4. * Active central nervous system (CNS) neoplastic involvement.
  5. * Morbid obesity with body mass index \>35 (borderline cases may be considered on case-by-case basis after discussion with the primary investigator).
  6. * Patients with known allergy to DMSO.
  7. * HIV1 (Human Immunodeficiency Virus-1) or HIV2 positive.
  8. * Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
