Phase:
PHASE1
Brief Summary
This is a phase I inter-patient dose escalation open labeled study assessing multiple doses of CYT107 in patients of at least 15 years of age, who are recipients of HLA matched ex vivo T cell depleted...
Detailed Description
Rationale: Delayed and deficient reconstitution of T cells and their functions are a major obstacle to the success of a hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). CYT-107 may have potential clinical u...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Able to read consent form and give informed consent.
- At least 15 years old.
- Histologically confirmed non-lymphoid hematological malignancy.
- Recipient of T cell depleted bone marrow (BM) or peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) transplant from a 6/6 HLA (A, B, DR by intermediate resolution) identical related or unrelated donor after myeloablative conditioning.
- Received TCD HCT containing \< 1x105 CD3+ T cells/kg of recipient.
- Patient included in at least one of the following categories:
- AML in 2nd or greater complete remission.
- High-risk AML (high-risk cytogenetics, undifferentiated leukemia, secondary AML, antecedent MDS) in 1st remission.
- CML in 2nd or greater chronic phase, 2nd or greater accelerated phase.
- MDS intermediate or high risk by IPSS criteria.
- History of opportunistic infection (CMV viremia requiring anti-viral therapy, PCP pneumonia, mycobacterial infection, herpes zoster, viral respiratory infection (influenza, RSV, para-influenza), etc.
- CD4+ T cell count \< 100 at 6 months post-transplant.
- At high risk for opportunistic infection (e.g., history of treated invasive fungal infection prior to the transplantation, positive CMV serology in patient, or positive toxoplasmosis serology in donor and patient, etc.).
- 60 - 210 days post transplant.
- In remission at the time of initiation of CYT107.
- Documented engraftment with sustained neutrophil counts of at least 1000/mcl and untransfused platelet counts \> 20 000/mcl for 3 consecutive lab values (the last one tested \<10 days before initiation of treatment) on 3 different days prior to treatment. Patients who have engrafted but require G-CSF for myelosuppressive antibiotics or antiviral medications are eligible if they require G-CSF no more than twice weekly and their ANC remains \>1000/mcl.
- KPS \> 60%.
- Adequate organ function:
- Cardiac: No evidence of change in cardiac function by history, exam and/or EKG post-HCT.
- Pulmonary: Absence of dyspnea or hypoxia (\< 90% of saturation by pulse oxymetry on room air).
- Hepatic: Bilirubin \<= 1.5 X ULN, AST (SGOT) and /or ALT (SGPT) \<= 2.5 X ULN. PT/PTT \< 1.5 X ULN.
- Renal: Calculated Creatinine clearance \> 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. \[Note: all transplant patients had an ejection fraction of \> 40% on their pre-transplant echocardiogram and a DLCO \> 50% of predicted (corrected for hemoglobin)\]
Exclusion
- No evidence or history of acute GVHD or of chronic GVHD.
- No recurrent leukemia post HCT.
- No active uncontrolled viral, bacterial or fungal infection.
- No documented HIV-1 or -2, HBV or HCV infection at any time before or after transplant (a positive hepatitis B serology indicative of a previous immunization is not an exclusion criteria).
- Not be receiving systemic corticosteroid, anti-mitotic agent or other immunosuppressive treatment.
- Not receiving Growth Hormone or gonadotropin agonists/ antagonists.
- Not receiving any cytokine support other than G-CSF post-HCT.
- Not receiving concurrent treatment with another investigational drug and/or biological agent.
- Not receiving anticoagulant therapy.
- No uncontrolled hypertension.
- No history of lymphoid malignancy (e.g. Hodgkin disease, non Hodgkin lymphoma, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia) or acute biphenotypic leukemia.
- No peripheral lymphadenopathy (any lymph node \> 1 cm).
- No history of EBV associated lymphoproliferation.
- No EBV viremia equal to or greater than 500 copies EBV DNA/mL of blood by quantitative PCR.
- No history of autoimmune disease nor a HCT donor with a history of an autoimmune disease.
- Fertile patients must use effective birth control. Not pregnant or nursing. Negative pregnancy test within 2 weeks of study treatment.
- QTc prolongation (QTc \> 470 ms) or prior history of significant arrhythmia or ECG abnormalities.
- No active drug or alcohol use or dependence that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with adherence to study requirements.
- Any past or current psychiatric illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with adherence to study requirements or the ability and willingness to give written informed consent.
