Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) Determine the toxicity including grade II or more acute GVHD from the initiation of T cell infusion to 2 weeks after the last infusion and extensive chronic GVHD. 2) Determine the non-hematological toxicity (grade 3 or 4) from the initiation of T cell infusion to 2 weeks after the last infusion. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) Determine the CR rate from the initiation of T cell infusion to 2 weeks after last infusion. 2) Determine the persistence and kinetics of transfused T cells in vivo from the initiation of T cell infusion to 2 weeks after last infusion. 3) Determine the T cell number that can be infused safely. | — |
