Supercharged immune cells take on Drug-Resistant infections

NCT ID NCT03159364

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early This study
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This trial investigates whether specially grown immune cells, called pathogen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), can safely and effectively treat stubborn infections like EBV, CMV, and adenovirus in people with weakened immune systems, such as stem cell or organ transplant recipients. Participants receive one or more infusions of these cells, which are designed to target and kill infected cells. The study aims to see if this approach can reduce viral levels and control infections when standard drugs have failed or cannot be used.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
pathogen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs)
What this could lead to
If it works, this approach could offer a new way to control serious infections in people with weak immune systems, especially when standard drugs fail.
What could go wrong
This is an early-phase trial, so the treatment may not work or could cause side effects like infusion reactions or graft-versus-host-like symptoms.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: Subjects with or without hematopoietic stem cell transplantation / organ transplant recipients need to meet the following conditions: * Evidence of CMV, EBV, ADV, BKV or known pathogen infection (viral DNA, immunohistochemical cytology positive); contraindications or invalid to anti-microbial drugs. * Subjects with virus DNA increased in the 2 consecutive peripheral blood samples (≥ 1000 genomic copies/ml blood) at least 24 hours apart. * Initial hematopoietic reconstitution: neutrophils (ANC) ≥ 0.5x109 / L, platelet (PLT) ≥ 20x109 / L. * Patients with pahogen disease (organ/ tissue infiltration) symptoms, fever, diarrhea, or lymphadenopathy, regardless of the level of peripheral blood virus DNA, and confirmed by the presence of viral DNA or microbial antigens within body fluid or biopsy. * The subject / guardian has signed a written consent form before any trial begins. Proper renal and hepatic functions (ULN denotes "upper limit of normal range"): * Creatinine ≤ 2\*ULN. * Bilirubin ≤ 2\*ULN. * SGOT ≤ 3\*ULN. * SGPT≤ 3\*ULN. If CTL is not from the patient's own, then the provider of CTLs needs to meet the following criteria: * Did not receive chemotherapy or radiotherapy within 4 weeks prior to blood collection, and did not take any steroids for the previous week, did not use Penicillin or β-lactam antibiotics, or the lowest dose of other antibiotics. * White blood cells ≥ 3,500 / μl, lymphocytes ≥ 750 / μl. * Obtain a signed informed consent from the patient and / or the guardian or the donor of the BMT recipient. * Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) or tuberculosis (TB) test is negative. * Physical examination in line with the standard of healthy blood donors. Exclusion Criteria: * Subject infected with HCV (HCV antibody positive), HBV (HBsAg positive), HIV (HIV antibody positive), or HTLV (HTLV antibody positive). * GVHD (graft-versus-host disease) performance score at II-IV. * Subject is albumin-intolerant. * Subject with life expectancy less than 4 weeks. * Subject participated in other investigational somatic cell therapies within past 30 days. * Subject with positive pregnancy test result.
