Anti-viral T-cell therapy for stubborn viral infections after transplant
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment using specially grown T-cells (a type of immune cell) to fight certain viruses that won't go away with standard medicines. It is for people who have had a stem cell or organ transplant, or who have a weak immune system, and who are struggling with adenovirus, CMV, or EBV infections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a stem cell or organ transplant, or have a primary immunodeficiency, or are on immune-suppressing therapy.
- You are between 1 month and 75 years old.
- You have a persistent infection with adenovirus, CMV, or EBV that has not improved with standard treatment.
- You are able to lower your steroid dose to less than 1 mg per kg per day of prednisone before the cell infusion.
- If you are female and of childbearing age, you must have a negative pregnancy test and agree to use birth control.

This trial tests a personalized immune cell treatment (CMV-specific T cells) for people whose CMV (a common herpes virus) persists or comes back after a stem cell transplant. It may help your immune system better control CMV when standard antiviral medicines aren’t fully working or can’t be used.
This trial tests a treatment using specially trained immune cells (virus-specific T-cells) to fight stubborn infections with adenovirus, CMV, or EBV in people with weakened immune systems, such as after a stem cell or organ transplant.
This trial tests whether giving special immune cells (called cytotoxic T lymphocytes) can fight viruses like CMV, adenovirus, EBV, or BK virus that are not responding to usual treatments. It is for people aged 0 to 29 with weakened immune systems due to inherited conditions or previous transplants.
This trial tests a special immune-cell treatment made to fight adenovirus in people whose adenovirus infection keeps coming back or won’t improve after transplant. It may help control infection when standard antiviral medicines are not working or can’t be tolerated.
This trial is testing whether giving special immune cells from a family donor (called CTLs) along with regular antiviral medicine is better than regular medicine alone for people who have a stubborn adenovirus or cytomegalovirus infection after a stem cell 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.
