Clinical trial

A Pilot Study in the Treatment of Refractory BK Infections With Related Donor BK Specific Cytotoxic T-cells (CTLs) in Children, Adolescents and Young Adult Recipients

Name
NYMC 590
Description
BK cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) manufactured with the Miltenyi CliniMACS Prodigy Cytokine Capture System will be safe and effective in decreasing specific viral load in children, adolescents and young adults (CAYA) with refractory BK infection post Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AlloHSCT) or with primary immunodeficiencies (PID).

Treatment
BK CTL
Patient with refractory BK infection and a HLA Matched Related Donors: BK specific CTLs (2.5 x 104 CD3/kg) infused intravenously on day 0 and may be additionally reinfused at a minimum of every two weeks (depending on safety and efficacy) for a maximum of five total infusions (maximum 12.5 x 104 CD3/kg). Patients with refractory BK virus and a HLA Mismatched Related Donors: BK specific CTLs (0.5x104 CD3/kg) infused intravenously on day 0 and may additionally be reinfused at a minimum of every two weeks (depending on safety and efficacy) for a maximum of five total infusions (maximum 2.5 x 104 CD3/kg).
