Trial Information

A Phase 1 Dose Escalation Study of Infusion of ex Vivo cd3/cd28 Costimulated Umbilical Cord Blood-derived t Cells in Adults Undergoing Transplantation for Advanced Hematologic Malignancies


The main study intervention includes CD3/CD28 ex vivo costimulated T cells derived from a
thawed umbilical cord blood unit, co-infused following a myeloablative conditioning regimen.

Activated T cells are T cells that have been activated in the laboratory by exposure to 2
compounds or molecules called CD3 and CD28; when T cells are exposed to both of these
compounds at the same time, they become activated or "stimulated" and may be more effective
in fighting infections, cancer cells, and promoting the recovery of red cells, white cells,
and platelets after transplantation. At the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania,
activated T cells are prepared at the Clinical Cell and Vaccine Production Facility, also
known as the CVPF.

Inclusion Criteria


Inclusion Criteria.

- Relapsed or persistent advanced hematologic malignancy; incurable with standard
chemotherapy and eligible for allogeneic HSCT, including:

subjects in chronic phase with inadequate response to Imatinib or intolerant to
Imatinib.

with complex cytogenetic abnormalities (more than 3 chromosomal abnormalities).

- ACUTE MYELOGENOUS LEUKEMIA (AML). Subjects with diagnosis of AML after receiving
chemotherapy, radiation therapy or biopsy showing myelodysplastic syndrome.

- ACUTE MYELOGENOUS LEUKEMIA (AML). Subjects with persistent AML after 2 cycles of
standard induction chemotherapy.

- ACUTE MYELOGENOUS LEUKEMIA (AML). Subjects in first complete remission.

- MYELODYSPLASTIC SYNDROME (MDS). Subjects with intermediate or high risk disease based
upon International Prognostic Scoring System.

- ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA (ALL). Subjects with Philadelphia Chromosome (have
t(9;22) cytogenetic abnormality) or molecular documentation for BCR-ABL
translocation.

- ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA (ALL). Subjects with primary refractory disease or
subjects in 1st complete remission.

- NHL or HODKIN'S DISEASE. Subjects who relapse following autologous Stem Cell
Transplant.

- INDOLENT NHL. Subjects with progressive disease following > 2 regimens.

- MULTIPLE MYELOMA. Subjects who relapse following following autologous Stem Cell
Transplant.

- Adults age 21-50.

- Expected survival 4 weeks.

- Subjects with no suitable related or unrelated donor for Stem Cell Transplant.

bilirubin < 2X normal; Transaminases < 2X normal.

- Subject is capable of giving informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Subject has an active or untreated disease involving the central nervous system.

- Subject has an active or uncontrolled medical condition that would preclude
participation in the protocol.
