Brief Summary:
T-cell and B-cell depletion in allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation by using immunomagnetic negative and positive selection procedures
Background:
Removal of T-cells from the donor graft (T-cell depletion) offers the possibility for prevention of GVHD and subsequently less transplant related morbidity and mortality after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (SCT). There are several techniques to deplete T-cells from the stem cell grafts e.g. physical, immunological and combined physical / immunological separation methods. All these techniques result in a stem cell graft with sufficient CD34+ stem cells combined with an adequate depletion of T and B cells. CD34+ selected stem cell grafts are very pure and do not contain any additional cell populations. In contrast, CD3+/CD19+ depleted grafts still contain NK-cells, monocytes and dendritic cells that are part of the innate immune system. Theoretically,the presence of these cells may positively influence immunological reconstitution and the graft-versus-leukaemia (GVL) effect, respectively, resulting in improved outcome after SCT
Objectives:
To evaluate the differences in immunological reconstitution, transplant related mortality, disease-free survival and overall survival after T-cell depleted allogeneic SCT for haematological malignancies using either immunomagnetic CD34+ selection or immunomagnetic CD3+/CD19+ depletion using the CliniMACS system in approximately 270 consecutive patients.
Additionally in this study in 20 consecutive patients the kinetics of NK-cel reconstitution and differences in NK-cell repertoire will be monitored. NK-cell mediated anti-tumor reactivity will be monitored in patients transplanted with and without NK-cells in the stem cell graft (CD3+/CD19+ depletion, versus CD34+ selection). Secondary objectives are to evaluate the clinical relevance of minor histocompatibility-specific cytotoxic T-cell responses for the GVL effect, the kinetics of NK-cell reconstitution and differences in NK-cell repertoire using the different T-cell depletion protocols.
Design:
Single center prospective randomised phase III study
Population:
Patients eligible for allogeneic SCT according to the standard criteria of our institution who will receive an allogeneic T- and B-cell depleted SCT with peripheral stem cells of an HLA-identical sibling donor or an HLA-identical unrelated voluntary (VUD) donor.
Intervention:
T-cell depletion will be conducted using two different techniques: either immunomagnetic CD34+ selection or immunomagnetic CD3+/CD19+ depletion.
Endpoints:
Primary endpoints are immunological reconstitution, relapse, disease free survival and overall survival. Secondary endpoints: NK-cell reconstitution and NK-cell mediated anti-tumour reactivity. Cytotoxic T-cell responses for the GVL effect.
Estimated efforts and risks for participating patients:
We don't expect any extra patient efforts or risks because T-cell depletion is a standard procedure in our clinic for many years. There is extensive experience with immunological T-cell depletion techniques. We hypothesize CD3+/CD19+ depletion will favour stem cell transplant outcome. Immunological and molecular biological studies will be performed on blood samples already obtained as part of the standard protocol.
