Clinical Trial Summary

For patients with hematologic malignancies undergoing allogeneic myeloablative (MA) HCT with a T cell depleted graft, the infusion of naturally occurring regulatory T cells with conventional T cells (T cell add back) in pre-defined doses and ratios will reduce the incidence of acute graft vs host disease while augmenting the graft vs leukemia effect and improving immune reconstitution.

Description:

Primary Objectives: - To determine the efficacy, safety and feasibility of administration of several dose combinations of conventional T cells (Tcon) and regulatory T cells (Treg) in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with HLA matched donors (related or unrelated) using a T cell depleted graft [CD34+ hematopoietic progenitor cells ("CD34+ HSPC")], without immune suppression. - To determine the maximum tolerated dose of infused regulatory and conventional T cells in the matched donor setting - To determine 1 year event free survival (EFS) post HCT Secondary Objectives: - To determine the 1 year OS in patients undergoing allogeneic HCT with matched donors. - To measure the incidence and severity of acute and chronic graft vs host disease (GvHD) - To measure incidence of serious infections

4. Must be 6/6 matched sibling donor as determined by HLA typing

5. Female donors of child-bearing potential must have a negative serum or urine beta-HCG test within three weeks of mobilization

6. Capable of undergoing leukapheresis, have adequate venous access, and be willing to undergo insertion of a central catheter should leukapheresis via peripheral vein be inadequate

7. Agreeable to 2nd donation of Peripheral blood stem cell (PBPC) (or bone marrow harvest) in the event of graft failure

8. The donor or legal guardian greater than 18 years of age, capable of signing an institutional review board (IRB-approved consent form. Donor Exclusion Criteria

1. Evidence of active infection or viral hepatitis

2. HIV positive

3. Medical, physical, or psychological reason that would place the donor at increased risk for complications from growth factor or leukapheresis

4. Lactating female
