BACKGROUND: Allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) can expose patients to a transient but marked immunosuppression, during which viral infections are an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Adoptive transfer of virus-specific T cells is an attractive approach to restore protective T -cell immunity in patients with refractory viral infections after allogeneic HSCT.
OBJECTIVES: This narrative review summarizes clinical evidence and developments of almost 30 years of adoptive T -cell transfer. The review is based on evidence extracted from PubMed searches and the clinical and experimental work of the authors.
CONTENT: Viral infections after HSCT are frequently caused by the endogenous reactivation of persistent pathogens such as cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and adenovirus (AdV). Current antiviral medication is not satisfactory and does not treat the underlying pathophysiology which is the lack of specific T -cell immunity. Adoptive transfer of virus-specific T cells could be a potentially curative, pathogen-specific, and non-toxic treatment providing long-term immunity against the virus. The isolation of virus-specific T cells from a healthy donor and infusion into a recipient is known as adoptive T -cell transfer and has been performed in many patients using different treatment protocols. Based on basic research, new isolation protocols aim at a safe and fast availability of cellular products for adoptive T -cell transfer. We summarize preclinical and clinical data on each of the main pathogens and on the technical approaches currently available to target either single antigens or even multiple pathogens.
CONCLUSION: Cellular therapy is considered as one of the major recent breakthroughs in medicine. Translation of this individualized treatment into first-line clinical routine is still limited. Main hurdles are availability of the technique, limited compatibility of classical phase III designs with cellular therapy, and regulatory restrictions. Multinational efforts are required to clarify the status of cellular treatment in first-line clinical routine with the overall objective to strengthen evidence-based treatment guidelines for the treatment of refractory viral infections post HSCT.
