Phase I/II Study of Donor Lymphocyte Infusion With Methotrexate GVHD Prophylaxis to Hasten Immune Reconstitution After CD34+ Cell-Selected Transplant

The purpose of this study is to determine the ability of a donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI)
given with methotrexate to hasten immune recovery without causing severe graft-versus-host
disease (GVHD) in recipients who have had a T-cell depleted transplant.

Studies have shown that giving donor T cells after a mismatched T cell-depleted stem cell
transplant can speed up recovery of T cells in the patient. This approach can cause severe
graft versus host disease (GVHD). The purpose of this study is to determine whether giving a
donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) with methotrexate can accelerate immune recovery in
recipients of T cell-depleted stem cell transplants. Thirty days after a T-cell depleted
transplant, patients will be given a DLI. They will be monitored for immune recovery as
measured by CD4 count and for GVHD toxicity.

Patients will be separated into six cohorts based on dose of DLI received: 3 x 10^4, 4 x
10^4, 5 x 10^4, 6 X 10^4, 8 x 10^4, and 10 X10^4 cells/ kg of body weight. A minimum of 3
patients will be tested at each dose starting with the lowest dose. Dose escalation will
continue until the dose associated with CD4 count >100 at Day +120 after transplant without
significant GVHD is determined. All patients will receive thirteen doses of methotrexate
after the DLI to prevent GVHD. Patients will be followed for 2 years for outcomes.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Patients must have been treated on the LCH BMT 09-01 protocol

- Signed informed consent by patient or legal guardian

Exclusion Criteria:

- Active GVHD at the time when DLI are due

- History of acute GVHD > grade I prior to DLI

- Disease due to viral infection (eg. CMV) when DLI are due (asymptomatic viral
replication or viral shedding is not a contraindication)

- Uncontrolled bacterial or fungal infection

- O2 saturation by pulse oximetry < 95%

- Bilirubin > 3mg/dL or ALT > 5 x upper limit of normal

- Creatinine > 3x baseline (at transplant)

- ANC (WBC x % neutrophils + bands) < 500/ul

- Significant effusions (eg. pleural or pericardial) or ascites

- EBV-related PTLD

- Persistent or increasing mixed chimerism requiring therapeutic DLI as defined on the
LCH BMT 09-01 protocol
