Summary
This trial uses gamma delta T-cells to kill cancer cells while minimizing GVHD in patients who have had a partially mismatched bone marrow transplant.
Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 19-65 with certain blood cancers like leukemia or myelodysplastic syndrome, who are in remission but at high risk of relapse and need a bone marrow transplant. They must have good heart, lung, liver, and kidney function and not be pregnant or HIV positive. People with uncontrolled infections or severe organ toxicity can't join.
What is being tested?
The study tests infusions of expanded/activated gamma delta T-cells after a partially mismatched bone marrow transplant to fight cancer cells while trying to prevent graft versus host disease in patients with specific leukemias and myelodysplastic syndrome.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects may include reactions related to the infusion such as fever or chills, increased risk of infection due to immune system changes, possible organ inflammation from immune responses, and complications related to graft versus host disease.

Experimental Treatment
Group I: EAGD T-cell infusion (Phase I)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Peripheral blood is collected by leukapheresis from the donor, expanded and activated on CliniMACS-Prodigy, further depleted of alpha beta T-cells using the CliniMACS Alpha Beta T-Cell Depletion System, which leaves a gamma delta T-cell rich product. This product is then infused into the recipient at either 1, 3, or 10 x 1,000,000 cells/kg concentrations depending upon the cohort.
Group II: EAGD T-cell infusion (Expansion)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Peripheral blood is collected by leukapheresis from the donor, expanded and activated on CliniMACS-Prodigy, further depleted of alpha beta T-cells using the CliniMACS Alpha Beta T-Cell Depletion System, which leaves a gamma delta T-cell rich product. This product is then infused into the recipient at the maximum tolerated dose as determined from Phase I.
