What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating a new approach to prevent serious viral and fungal infections after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) from donors who are not fully HLA-matched siblings. This study focuses on adding back CD45RO memory T cells to grafts depleted of T cell receptor alpha beta (TCRb1b2) and CD19+ B cells to reduce the risk of graft versus host disease (GVHD) while improving immune recovery. The trial expands eligibility to patients with both malignant and non-malignant conditions using mismatched related and unrelated donors. The study includes phase 1 and phase 2 periods. Phase 1 is a dose escalation study for patients receiving cells from mismatched or haploidentical related donors, testing increasing doses of CD45RA-depleted addback cells to find the maximum tolerated dose. Phase 2 treats patients with this dose from phase 1 or those with unrelated donors using a previously established dose. Stem cell sources are mobilized peripheral blood stem cells, and conditioning follows disease-specific standard care. Participants will be monitored for acute and chronic GVHD up to 2 years after transplant. Their immune recovery and incidence of viral reactivation will also be evaluated over 2 years. Assessments include standard disease and organ criteria, infection status, and consent procedures. The trial duration and safety are closely observed with regular follow-ups to measure outcomes related to immune function and transplant complications.

Your Study Journey

Screening

Duration - 2 to 4 weeks

Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.

1 visit (in-person)

Implementation

Duration - Up to 100 days post-transplantation

Participants receive a CD45RA depleted stem cell addback after TCRab/CD19 depleted hematopoietic stem cell transplant to help prevent viral and fungal infections. Dose levels vary in Phase 1 to determine the maximum tolerated dose, followed by treatment at the determined dose in Phase 2.

Multiple visits for monitoring during the first 100 days post-transplant

Follow-up

Duration - Up to 2 years post-transplantation

Participants are monitored for acute and chronic graft versus host disease and immune reconstitution for up to 2 years after transplantation.

Periodic visits for up to 2 years
