Popis: We initiated a clinical trial of nonmyeloablative haploidentical stem-cell transplantation (SCT) using MEDI-507, an immunoglobulin-G1 monoclonal anti-CD2 antibody. The trial was based on a preclinical major histocompatibility complex-mismatched bone marrow transplant model in which graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) was prevented and mixed chimerism as a platform for adoptive cellular immunotherapy was reliably induced. Twelve patients (three cohorts of four patients each) received cyclophosphamide, MEDI-507, and haploidentical unmanipulated bone marrow (n=8) or ex vivo T-cell-depleted peripheral blood stem cells (n=4) for chemorefractory hematologic malignancy. A two-dose regimen and schedule modifications of MEDI-507 were undertaken because of graft loss in the first cohort of four patients and GVHD in the second cohort. With ex vivo T-cell-depleted peripheral blood SCT, mixed chimerism occurred in all four patients without GVHD. Two patients, however, subsequently lost their grafts. Nonmyeloablative preparative therapy with MEDI-507 and haploidentical SCT have led to the reliable induction of at least transient mixed chimerism as a potential platform for adoptive cellular immunotherapy.
