CMV infection is a major and potentially life-threatening complication after allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-SCT). Pharmacotherapy with ganciclovir and foscarnet remains the mainstay of treatment and has significantly improve clinical results, however, it is unsatisfactory owing to toxicity, limited efficacy and risk of developing resistance.~In recent years, adoptive T cell therapy has been proposed as an alternative option for CMV infection after allo-SCT. However, patients with transplants from CMV-negative donors are at highest risk, and an adoptive therapy is missing because CMV-specific T cells are not available.~CMV TCR-transduced donor-derived T Cells (CMV-TCR-T cells) is an attractive strategy to specifically redirect T-cell immunity toward CMV. In this prospective clinical phase I trial, we propose to evaluate the safety and efficacy of stem cell donor-derived CMV-TCR-T cells for patients with refractory CMV infection after allo-SCT. Donor derived CMV-TCR-T(HLA-A*1101\0201\2402) cells will be intravenously infused with a escalated dose of 0.3-1×10E7CMV-TCR-T cells. The CMV DNA copies and CMV-TCR-T cell proliferation will be monitored in the scheduled time (day 0, day 4, day 7, day 10, day 14, day 28).
This is a single centre, single arm, open-label, phase I study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CMV-TCR-T cell immunotherapy in treating refractory CMV infection after HSCT.
