Brief Summary
The present project aims at investigating the role of MSC for the treatment of patients with Part 1: Steroid-refractory grade II-IV acute GVHD. Part 2: Poor graft function (PGF) Part 3: Low or falling donor T-cell chimerism after allogeneic HCT. This is a multicenter phase II study examining the feasibility and efficacy of this approach.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (3)
Arm 1. Efficacy of MSC infusion as treatment for steroid-resistant grade II - IV acute GVHD.
30 days
Arm 2. Efficacy of MSC infusion as treatment for poor graft function
180 days
Arm 3. Efficacy of MSC infusion followed by donor lymphocyte infusion for preventing graft rejection in patients with low or failing donor T-cell chimerism after allogeneic HCT
180 days
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Toxicity of MSC infusion
180 days
Study Arms (3)
1
EXPERIMENTALMSC infusion for steroid-refractory grade II-IV acute GVHD. In this arm, 4 x 10E6 MSC/Kg BW of the recipient will be injected during the first hour after thawing.
2
EXPERIMENTALMSC infusion for poor graft function. In this arm, 2 x 10E6 MSC/Kg BW of the recipient will be injected during the first hour after thawing.
3
EXPERIMENTALMSC + DLI for poor donor T-cell chimerism after allogeneic HCT. In this arm, 2 x 10E6 MSC/Kg BW of the recipient will be injected during the first hour after thawing.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patient eligibility criteria
- Male or female of any age.
- Previous allogeneic transplantation (related or unrelated donor, any degree of HLA matching) or autologous transplantation (for part 2 only) of HSC at any time before.
- Any source of HSC (marrow, PBSC, cord blood) and any conditioning regimen.
- Informed consent given by donor or his/her guardian if of minor age.
- Additional criteria for each part of the protocol:
- Part 1: MSC for steroid-refractory grade II-IV acute GVHD
- Allogeneic transplantation.
- Grade II-IV acute GVHD (see appendix A for acute GVHD grading) de novo or following DLI.
- Acute GVHD refractory to mPDN 2 mg/kg/day or equivalent, defined as
- progression of GVHD on day 3 after initiation of steroids
- no improvement of GVHD on day 7 after initiation of steroids
- absence of complete resolution of acute GVHD on day 14 after initiation of steroids
- relapse of acute GVHD during or after steroid taper.
- Ongoing therapy with Ciclosporine or Tacrolimus at therapeutic doses.
- +24 more criteria
You may not qualify if:
- HIV positive.
- Active uncontrolled infection at time of scheduled MSC infusion.
- Relapsing or progressing malignancy.
- HIV positive
- Known allergy to Lidocaine
- If donor other than HSC donor : any risk factor for transmissible infectious diseases.
