Purpose

This phase I trial studies the side effects and best dose of donor regulatory T cells in treating patients with graft-versus-host disease affecting the liver or gastrointestinal organs (visceral) within 100 days (acute) after undergoing a stem cell transplant. Graft-versus-host disease occurs when donor immune cells infused in a stem cell transplant attack the gut, skin, liver, or other organ systems of the patient. Regulatory T cells are a type of immune cell that may be able to reduce the attack of the donor's immune cells on the patient's normal cells and help treat graft-vs-host disease.

Official Title

A Phase 1 Single Center Safety and Feasibility Study of Primary T Regulatory Cell Therapy to Treat Visceral Acute Graft-versus-Host Disease Following Hematopoietic Cell Transplantation
