New immune cell therapy takes on virus after transplant

NCT ID NCT07368634

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This early-phase study tests a new treatment for Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) that can occur after a stem cell transplant. The treatment uses specially engineered immune cells (EBV-TCR-T cells) to find and destroy virus-infected cells. Up to 18 adult patients who have persistent EBV despite standard care will receive up to three infusions. The main goal is to check safety, but researchers will also see if the virus clears from the blood.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

EBV-TCR-T cells (engineered immune cells designed to target and kill Epstein-Barr virus-infected cells)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new treatment option for controlling Epstein-Barr virus after stem cell transplants, potentially preventing serious complications like lymphoproliferative disorders.

What could go wrong

This is a very early, small trial (18 participants) testing safety first. The treatment may not work, and there are risks like cytokine release syndrome or other infusion reactions.
