Donor immune-cell treatment for stubborn CMV or adenovirus after transplant
This trial tests virus-fighting immune cells (T-cells) made from a donor to treat stubborn CMV or adenovirus infections after a blood and bone marrow transplant. It may help clear the virus when standard antiviral medicines are not working.
Memphis, TennesseeAges Up to 18 years - NCT05665491Recruiting
Study links parent anxiety thinking to child anxiety

- How do I know if I qualify for a children trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a children trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
