CMV Targeted T-Cell Program (CMV-CTL)
你在這里
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common virus that can cause severe or fatal organ damage in those with weakened immune systems. CMV-CTLs are a third party, donor-derived, “off-the-shelf” T-cell product candidate designed to recognize and target CMV-infected cells.
CMV-CTLs are being studied in an ongoing Phase 2 clinical trial to test anti-viral efficacy and safety in patients with CMV viremia or infection following allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (alloHCT).

CMV VIREMIA OR CMV DISEASE FOLLOWING ALLOHCT
CMV is a common infection among adults and like EBV, a significant number of T-cells in normal healthy individuals are dedicated to maintaining CMV viral control. For patients undergoing alloHCT, the resulting impairment in T-cell function may lead to CMV reactivation. Over the past two decades, both prophylactic and preemptive therapy have been used to prevent CMV disease in the post-alloHCT setting. In prophylactic therapy, immunocompromised patients are given antiviral drugs for several months after alloHCT. In preemptive therapy, patients are intensively monitored for CMV activity after alloHCT by sensitive laboratory methods, and short-term antiviral treatment is given only to those with significant viral counts, or CMV viremia, before symptoms and overt CMV disease occur. Although both strategies can be effective for prevention of overt CMV disease, they rely on available drugs, which have signi?cant toxicities, including marrow toxicity for ganciclovir, valganciclovir and cidofovir, and renal toxicity for foscarnet and cidofovir. As a result, some patients experience intolerance to these therapies and may ultimately progress to overt, symptomatic CMV disease. In addition, failure of antiviral drugs may occur when treating CMV, leaving affected patients with limited therapeutic options.
MECHANISM OF ACTION
In healthy individuals, a key T-cell function is to control CMV that, like EBV, remains present in the body after initial infection. Immunocompromised patients often lack sufficient T-cells to combat the virus. The CMV-CTLs provide the immunocompromised patient with T-cells designed to recognize and target CMV-infected cells.
