Filter by:This is a Phase 3 study to evaluate posoleucel (ALVR105, Viralym-M); an allogeneic, off-the-shelf multi-virus specific T cell therapy that targets six viral pathogens: BK virus, cytomegalovirus, adenovirus, Epstein-Barr virus, human herpesvirus 6 and JC virus.
Patients with medical conditions requiring allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) are at risk of developing a condition called graft versus host disease (GvHD) which carries a high morbidity and mortality. This is a phase I/II study that will test the safety and efficacy of hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) with ex-vivo T cell receptor Alpha/Beta+ and CD19 depletion to treat patients' underlying condition. This process is expected to substantially decrease the risk of GvHD thus allowing for the elimination of immunosuppressive therapy post-transplant. The study will use blood stem/progenitor cells collected from the peripheral blood of parent or other half-matched (haploidentical) family member donor. The procedure will be performed using CliniMACS® TCRα/β-Biotin System which is considered investigational.
The primary objective is to determine the safety and feasibility of administering R-MVST cells to patients with refractory viral reactivation and/or symptomatic disease caused by Epstein Barr Virus (EBV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), adenovirus (ADV) or BK virus. R-MVST cells will be generated on-demand from the closest partially human leukocyte antigen (HLA)-matched (minimum haploidentical) healthy donors or from the original allo-transplant donor if available. The investigator will closely monitor the recipients for potential toxicities including graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) post-infusion. Secondary objectives are to determine the effect of R-MVST infusion on viral load, possible recovery of antiviral immunity post-infusion and for evidence of clinical responses and overall survival. Recipients will be monitored for secondary graft failure at day 28 post R-MVST infusion.
The main objective of Part A of this trial is to evaluate the safety and reactogenicity of mRNA-1189 in 18- to 30-year-old healthy adults and the main objective of Part B is to evaluate the safety and reactogenicity of mRNA-1189 in 12- to <18-year-old EBV-seronegative healthy adolescents.
The aim of this study is to assess the occurrence of antibodies cross-reacting with autoantigens that have been detected in the context of SLE in patients with primary EBV infection over time compared to a control group. It is to establish a biobank of patients with primary EBV infection allowing to longitudinally analyze the immune response and its accompanying inflammatory processes with focus on the occurrence of antibodies cross-reacting with autoantigens associated with SLE and other autoimmune diseases. Substudies will analyze - characteristics of primary EBV infection patients treated with antibiotics in comparison to patients treated without antibiotics and outcomes of these treatment regimens (occurrence of acute complications such as peritonsillar abscess (PTA) or need for tonsillectomy, frequency of fatigue or symptoms associated with chronic fatigue syndrome). - Procalcitonin (PCT) concentrations in primary EBV infection compared to control patients with similar symptoms and its association with disease severity and local complications. - the occurrence of fatigue and symptoms associated with chronic fatigue syndrome 6 and 12 months after primary EBV infection.
EBV-HLH and CAEBV are both caused by EBV infection, part of them can rapidly lead to a syndrome of severe, life-threatening hyper-inflammation, with poor prognosis. Currently, the most effective treatment remains unknown. This study is trying to evaluate the efficacy and safety of PD-1 monoclonal antibody as a first-line therapy for EBV-HLH and CAEBV.
Plasma Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA will be measured in native plasma samples of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients, respectively, by three medical centers and a qualified laboratory in Southern China, the highest endemic area of NPC. Passing-Bablok regression and difference plots will be used to compare results from each center to the all-method median and mean values. Agreement among methods will be evaluated against bias derived from a biological variation.
A Phase 2 study to evaluate the efficacy of nanatinostat in combination with valganciclovir in patients with relapsed/refractory EBV-positive lymphomas
Epstein Barr virus infects over 90% of human population and persists during lifetime. After infecting B lymphocytes, EBV remains latent in memory B cells. In immunocompromised patients, primary infection could lead to an uncontrolled EBV infected B cells proliferation because of impaired T cell specific cytotoxicity. The latent EBV infection is characterized by expression of restricted latent gene products, which drive cell proliferation and progression to PTLD. As a consequence, EBV seronegativity and EBV mismatch are major risk factors for developing PTLD. The investigators reported in a previous work from the French Registry that the incidence of PTLD was multiplied by ten in adult EBV negative kidney transplant recipients. Moreover, even if the event is relatively rare after transplantation, the prognosis is severe with high morbidity and an overall mortality rate around 50%. Nowadays, few and inconsistent data exist regarding beneficial preventing strategies like antiviral therapy, reduction of immunosuppression or immunoglobulin infusion in this high-risk population of EBV negative recipients. Therefore, an efficient and safe preventive treatment is still lacking to decrease PTLD incidence. Rituximab, has been already proposed in stem cell transplant recipients as a preemptive therapy in patients with a persistent EBV viremia independently of their EBV status. A pilot study was performed in EBV negative kidney transplant recipients but in a very small population. Schachtner60 reported the cases of 5 EBV negative recipients receiving kidney from EBV positive donors after a treatment with Rituximab. Only 2 patients showed a seroconversion and no patients developed neither a viremia nor a PTLD after 49 months of follow-up. The main objective of the investigators study is to evaluate the efficacy of early infusion of Rituximab in the prevention of EBV primary infection and post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) occurrence in adult EBV negative kidney transplant recipients transplanted with an EBV positive donor.
This study involved patients that have a cancer called diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL), NK and T cell lymphomas (NK/TL) or classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) (hereafter these 3 diseases will be referred to as lymphoma). Patients lymphoma has come back or not gone away after treatment. Because there is no standard treatment for the patients cancer at this time or because the currently used treatments do not work fully in all cases, the patients are being asked to volunteer in this research study. In this study the investigators want to test a type of T cell made from a normal donor. The T cells the investigators will use are called Epstein Barr virus (EBV) specific T cells (EBVSTs) and are cells that the investigators have trained in the laboratory to recognize a EBV which is the virus that causes mono or kissing disease. Some patients with lymphoma have EBV in their cancer cells. Researchers have given T cell lines from normal donor EBVSTs to lymphoma patients who have EBV in their lymphoma cells and have seen responses in about half the patients. The cells have have been generated and are frozen in a bank. The cells are called "allogeneic" (meaning the donor is not related to the patient). CD30.CAR in EBV-specific T cells (called allogeneic CD30.CAR-EBVST) from the blood of healthy donors. The investigators are giving the cells to patients with lymphoma cells that express CD30. If the lymphoma cells also express EBV there may be some benefit from targeting both proteins. The purpose of this study is to find out the highest safe dose of allogeneic CD30.CAR-EBVST cells given following chemotherapy and used to treat lymphoma. The investigators will learn the side effects of CD30.CAR-EBVST cells in patients and see whether this therapy may help lymphoma patients.
