This early-phase trial tests a treatment called LB-DTK-MV, which uses immune cells from a healthy donor to fight three viruses (CMV, BKV, and EBV) that have become resistant to standard antiviral drugs. The study includes 27 adults who have had a stem cell transplant or certain c…

This early-phase trial tests a new type of immune cell therapy for patients with EBV-positive Hodgkin or non-Hodgkin lymphoma that has returned or not responded to standard treatments. The researchers add a gene called C7R to the patient's own T cells to help them survive longer …

This study tests whether giving patients special donor immune cells (called CD45RA-depleted DLI) can treat viral infections that persist after a stem cell transplant. The trial involves 30 participants who have not improved with standard antiviral drugs. Researchers will measure …

This trial investigates whether specially grown immune cells, called pathogen-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), can safely and effectively treat stubborn infections like EBV, CMV, and adenovirus in people with weakened immune systems, such as stem cell or organ transplant …

This study looks at whether people with a type of throat cancer linked to the Epstein-Barr virus can safely receive lower doses of radiation after initial chemotherapy. The goal is to see if reducing radiation can still control the cancer while causing fewer long-term side effect…

This early-phase study tests whether specially trained immune cells from healthy donors can safely treat viral infections (EBV, CMV, adenovirus, BK virus) in patients who have had a stem cell transplant or certain CAR-T therapy. These infections can be life-threatening when the i…

This early-stage trial tests whether specially grown immune cells from a donor can safely help transplant patients fight off viral infections that standard treatments can't control. The cells target Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, adenovirus, and BK virus. Up to 36 adults wh…

This early-phase trial tests whether specially engineered immune cells (EBV-TCR-T cells) can safely control Epstein-Barr virus infections in people who have had a stem cell transplant. About 12 participants will receive one to three infusions of donor-derived cells. The main goal…

This study tests whether giving patients donor-derived immune cells (VSTs) on a regular schedule can prevent dangerous viral infections after a stem cell transplant. 180 participants will be randomly assigned to receive VSTs either on a fixed schedule or only when a virus is dete…
