Could immune checkpoint drugs tame a deadly brain virus?
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study is testing whether immune checkpoint inhibitors, drugs that help the immune system fight infections, can improve outcomes for people with progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a rare brain virus. Researchers will follow 66 patients over a year, measuring di…

Can donor cells stop viruses after transplant?
Disease control Recruiting nowThis 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…

Supercharged donor cells take on viruses after transplant
Disease control Recruiting nowThis study tests whether specially grown donor immune cells (viral-specific T-cells) can safely treat viral infections that often occur after a stem cell transplant. These infections can be serious and sometimes don't respond to standard antiviral drugs. The approach aims to boos…

Scientists launch major study to track viruses in healthy and immunocompromised patients
Knowledge-focused Recruiting nowThis study aims to collect samples and medical information from people of all ages who have or have been exposed to viral infections, including COVID-19 and herpes. Researchers want to understand how viruses affect healthy individuals versus those with weakened immune systems. Pa…
