Co‑infusing regulatory T cell–enriched donor lymphocytes with CD3‑depleted stem cell grafts to prevent GVHD after haploidentical transplant in children and young adults
Official title: Pilot Study of Co-Infusion of Donor Lymphocytes Enriched With Regulatory T Lymphocytes With Ex-vivo CD3-Depleted Hematopoietic Stem Cell Graft for the Prevention of Graft-versus-Host Disease in Children With Hematopoietic and Lymphoid Tissue Neoplasms
Run by Federal Research Institute of Pediatric Hematology, Oncology and Immunology · NCT07366801 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This trial will try adding donor regulatory T cells to a partially T‑cell depleted stem cell graft plus short immunosuppression in children and young adults getting a haploidentical transplant to see if it reduces graft‑versus‑host disease.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Children and young adults (up to about 25 years) with high‑risk or relapsed acute myeloid or lymphoblastic leukemia who are planned for a haploidentical allogeneic HSCT with adequate organ function and performance status are the intended participants.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients with active severe infections, acute viral hepatitis or HIV, significant organ dysfunction (very high bilirubin or creatinine), severe CNS disease, poor performance status (<70), pregnancy or lactation, or those without a haploidentical donor are unlikely to benefit or are excluded.

What this trial studies
This Phase 2/3 interventional protocol gives a CD3‑depleted peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell graft together with a donor lymphocyte product enriched for regulatory T cells (CD25‑selected). Participants also receive pharmacologic GVHD prophylaxis that includes cyclosporine A and one of sirolimus, ruxolitinib, or abatacept with minimized duration. The goal is to combine partial T‑cell depletion with regulatory T cell supplementation to lower rates of severe acute and chronic GVHD while preserving early anti‑infective immunity and promoting timely engraftment. The trial enrolls patients receiving haploidentical allogeneic HSCT and includes planned follow‑up for three years at the coordinating center in Moscow.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could reduce severe acute and chronic GVHD while preserving early immune protection and lowering transplant‑related complications.
How similar studies have gone: Small early‑phase trials of adoptive regulatory T cell transfer and tailored T‑cell depletion have shown promising reductions in GVHD, so this approach builds on limited but encouraging prior evidence.
