Experimental cell therapy targets dangerous virus in vulnerable transplant patients

NCT ID NCT02982902

Summary

This early-stage study is testing whether specially selected immune cells from a donor can safely treat cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections in people who have received a stem cell transplant. The trial is for patients whose CMV infection isn't improving with standard antiviral medications. Researchers will collect T-cells from a donor, select those that target CMV, and infuse them into the patient to help their immune system fight the virus.
