Summary

In this study, investigators are trying to see if infusion of T cells (called CTLs) will prevent or treat cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) and adenovirus (AdV) reactivation or infection.

Patients with blood cell cancer, other blood disease or a genetic disease may receive a stem cell transplant. After receiving transplant, they are at risk of infections until a new immune system to fight infections grows from the cord blood cells. In this study, investigators are trying to give special cells called T cells. These cells will try to fight viruses that can cause infection.

Investigators will test to see if blood cells from donor that have been grown in a special way, can prevent patients from getting an infection. EBV, AdV and CMV are viruses that can cause serious life-threatening infections in patients who have weak immune systems after transplant.

T lymphocytes can kill viral cells but normally there are not enough of them to kill all the virus infected cells after transplant. Some researcher have taken T cells from a person's blood, grown more of them in the laboratory and then given them back to the person during a viral infection after a bone marrow transplant. Some of these studies have shown a positive therapeutic effect in patients receiving the CTLs after a viral infection in the post-transplant period.

Investigators will grow these cells from donor in the laboratory in a way that will train them to recognize and remove viruses when the T cells are given after a transplant. Since most donors have previously been infected with EBV, CMV, and adenovirus, investigators are able to use their T cells that remember these viruses to grow the CTLs. However, they now also have a new way of growing CTLs from donors who have not been infected with CMV.

Interventions

DRUG

CTL for CMV seropositive donors

CTL for CMV seropositive donors-Allogeneic Multivirus Directed Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) targeting CMV (IE1 and pp65), EBV (LMP2, EBNA1), and Adv (Hexon and Penton) for CMV seropositive donors dose is depending on the toxicity outcome, the maximum sample size for the this phase I portion of the trial is 14. Upon the completion of mCTL safety evaluation, additional 7 patients will be accrued at the MTD level to evaluate its antiviral activity.

DRUG

CTL for CMV naïve donors

CTL for CMV naïve donors - Allogeneic Multivirus - Directed Cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL) targeting CMV (IE1 and pp65), EBV (LMP2, EBNA1), and Adv (Hexon and Penton) for CMV naïve donors dose is depending on the toxicity outcome, the maximum sample size for the this phase I portion of the trial is 14. Upon the completion of mCTL safety evaluation, additional 7 patients will be accrued at the MTD level to evaluate its antiviral activity.
