Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43862   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7285   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The proposed study will test the feasibility of generating donor-derived cytomegalo virus (CMV)-specific T cells via the ex vivo introduction of a CMV-specific T cell receptor using a GMP grade retroviral vector. It will also determine the safety, toxicity (side effects) and efficacy of CMV TCR-transduced T cells used for the pre-emptive treatment of CMV reactivation following HLA-matched sibling Allo-Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation. Primary Objectives: (i) Evaluate the feasibility of retroviral-mediated TCR gene transfer to generate CMV-specific T cells from CMV seronegative donors; (ii) Evaluate the safety, toxicity and side effects of pre-emptive CMV TCR-transduced donor-derived T cells for immunotherapy after Allo-HSCT, where donors are CMV seronegative. Primary Endpoints: (i) Document transduction efficiency and TCR expression on TCR-transduced T cells; (ii) Identify organ toxicities and other side effects.
    Protection of trial subjects
    Antiviral drug therapy will be initiated in the following circumstances: 1. if the CMV viral load ≥3000 copies/ml or 2. if there is evidence of CMV disease. Anti-viral therapy will be stopped when the viral load is below the level of quantification of the assay. In the event of any adverse reactions, chlorpheniramine and hydrocortisone were to be given, as well as oxygen and salbutamol in the event of respiratory distress. Nursing and medical staff experienced in the administration of cellular blood products including donor T cell infusions and CMV-specific T cells cared for the trial patients. The site followed trial-specific SOPs and local guidelines for the administration of cellular blood products.
    Background therapy
    One of the inclusion criteria is that patients were undergoing matched sibling allogeneic HSCT for an underlying haematological malignancy with a CMV seronegative donor. As part of this transplant, patients will have received conditioning treatment.

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    All patients were recruited from one site. Patients who met the eligibility criteria were approached at the time or prior to commencement of their pre-transplant conditioning and the protocol was discussed with them and they were given a copy of the Patient Information Sheet. The trial was opened to recruitment on 15 Jul 2013.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Patients were screened & enrolled onto the Study prior to HSCT and the allogeneic CMV-specific T cells were to be prepared for all participants. The CMV-specific T cells were released following a single positive CMV PCR result. At this point, patients were re-evaluated for eligibility. 3 patients enrolled - 2 treated; 1 did not reactivate CMV.

    Each patient was planned to receive a single infusion of bulk CMV-TCR transduced donor-derived T cells on first CMV reactivation post allogeneic HSCT, at a dose of 10e4 T cells/kg recipient weight (cohort 1, n=3), 10e5 T cells/kg recipient weight (cohort 2, remaining patients if no excess toxicity, or protocol stopping rules) or at a de-escalation dose of 10e3 T cells/kg recipient weight (cohort 1a). In the trial 2 patients only were dosed, in Cohort 1 at a dose of 10e4 T cells/kg.
