Abstract:
BACKGROUND:Haemorrhagic cystitis caused by BK virus (BKV) is a known complication of allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) and is relatively common following HLA-haploidentical transplantation. Adoptive immunotransfer of virus-specific T cells from the donor is a promising therapeutic approach, although production of these cells is challenging, particularly when dealing with low-frequency T cells such as BKV-specific T cells. CASE REPORT:Here, we present a patient who, following haploidentical HCT, developed severe BKV haemorrhagic cystitis, resistant to standard therapy. He responded well to adoptive transfer of donor cells enriched in BKV-specific T cells using the new second-generation CliniMACS Prodigy and the Cytokine Capture System from Miltenyi Biotec. Treatment led to full resolution of both the symptoms and viraemia without unwanted complications. CONCLUSION:Our observations suggest that use of products enriched with BKV-specific T cells generated using this system is safe and efficient in HLA-haploidentical HCT where BKV cystitis can be a serious complication.
