Protocol adding anti-CD25 antibody to myeloablative allogeneic stem cell transplant to prevent graft-versus-host disease in children with EBV T/NK lymphoproliferative disease

Official title: Improved Myeloablative Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Protocol for the Treatment of Epstein Barr Virus T/NK Lymphoproliferative Disease (EBV-T/NK LPD) and Prevention of Post Transplant Graft-versus-host Disease

Run by Beijing Children's Hospital · NCT07029958 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This trial will try adding a humanized anti-CD25 antibody to the standard transplant regimen to prevent or reduce acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease in children with EBV-associated T/NK lymphoproliferative disease who are receiving an allogeneic stem cell transplant.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Children ≤18 years with a confirmed diagnosis of EBV-T/NK LPD by ICC2022 who plan to undergo allogeneic HSCT at Beijing Children's Hospital and meet the specified donor and consent criteria.

Probably not a fit

Patients with expected survival under three months from multiorgan failure, those not proceeding to allo HSCT at the center, or those who decline or do not meet donor eligibility are unlikely to benefit.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This Phase 4 interventional protocol enrolls patients age 18 or younger with EBV-T/NK lymphoproliferative disease undergoing myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation at Beijing Children's Hospital and adds a recombinant humanized anti-CD25 monoclonal antibody to the conditioning regimen. The antibody targets CD25-expressing activated T cells to blunt the alloreactive immune responses that drive acute and chronic graft-versus-host disease. Key outcomes include incidence and severity of acute and chronic GVHD, engraftment success, thrombotic microvascular disease, early EBV reactivation, relapse, and other transplant-related complications. Donor eligibility requires meeting specified age, related/unrelated or mismatch, T-cell dose, or disease-activity criteria, and participants must provide informed consent and complete inpatient transplant care at the center.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, adding anti-CD25 could lower rates and severity of acute and chronic GVHD and reduce related complications, improving transplant recovery and long-term outcomes for these children.

How similar studies have gone: Anti-CD25 antibodies such as basiliximab have been used in other transplant settings with mixed results for reducing GVHD, but using this approach specifically for pediatric EBV-T/NK LPD is relatively novel.
