Epstein-Barr virus infection

This study is testing an experimental mRNA vaccine called mRNA-1189 to see if it can safely prevent Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection in healthy people aged 10 to 30. EBV is a common virus that can cause mononucleosis and has been linked to some cancers. The vaccine is given as …

This early-stage trial is testing an experimental mRNA vaccine called mRNA-1195 to see if it is safe and triggers an immune response against Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The study involves 482 healthy adults aged 18 to 55, some of whom have had EBV before and some who have not. Part…

This trial tests whether specially modified T cells from a partially matched donor can help patients recover their immune system faster after a stem cell transplant. The T cells are engineered with a 'suicide gene' that allows doctors to destroy them if they cause graft-versus-ho…

This study tests whether specially grown immune cells can fight three common viruses—adenovirus, CMV, and EBV—in people whose immune systems are weak due to a stem cell or organ transplant, or an inherited immune disorder. The cells are made from a donor's blood and trained to re…

This phase 2 trial tests a drug called VK-2019 in 13 patients with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-positive nasopharyngeal cancer that has returned or spread and has no standard treatment. VK-2019 works by blocking a key viral protein, EBNA1, which the virus needs to survive. The main g…

This study tests whether a blood test for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) DNA can help doctors choose the best chemotherapy after standard radiation for nasopharyngeal cancer. About 685 patients will first receive standard chemoradiation. Then, based on whether EBV DNA is still detectab…

This study tests an experimental cell therapy called tabelecleucel in 190 people with diseases caused by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), including certain lymphomas and post-transplant complications. The treatment uses specially prepared immune cells to fight the virus. The main go…

This study looks at whether a special team of doctors and nurses can treat adults with suspected infections at home, instead of sending them to the hospital. About 500 people will be randomly assigned to either standard hospital care or home-based care from a mobile response team…

This study tests an experimental drug called brincidofovir in people with lymphoma (a type of blood cancer) that has returned or not improved after standard treatments. The trial has two parts: first, finding a safe dose in up to 18 people with various lymphomas, then testing tha…

This phase II trial is testing whether giving the immunotherapy drug pembrolizumab before standard chemotherapy and radiation can help prevent stomach cancer from coming back. It includes 40 people with operable stomach cancer that has either a specific DNA repair problem (mismat…

This study tests a new way to treat viral infections that often occur after a solid organ transplant. Researchers create special immune cells, called viral-specific T-cells, from the patient's own blood to fight the virus. The goal is to reduce the need for strong anti-viral drug…

This study looks at how the immune system of patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) responds to severe infections caused by viruses or bacteria. Researchers will take extra blood samples from 38 adults to analyze immature granulocytes, a type of immune cell. The goal is to see…

This study follows about 100 healthy adults aged 18 to 29 who have had Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in the past. Researchers collect blood and saliva samples over 6 to 12 months to see when the virus becomes active again and how the immune system responds. No treatments or vaccines a…

This study aimed to see if a computer could learn to predict how long a patient would stay in a home hospital program. Researchers planned to use data from past patients to train the computer. However, the study was withdrawn before any patients were enrolled, so no results are a…

This study looks at immune cells from people with autoimmune diseases (like lupus), people with infections, and healthy volunteers. Researchers want to understand how these cells differ and what makes them attack the body in autoimmune conditions. The study involves blood and bon…
