Engineered immune cells take on viruses in cancer patients

NCT ID NCT05101213

First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 14, 2026 · Updated 30 times

Summary

This early-stage trial tests whether specially designed immune cells (T-cells) can safely control viral infections like CMV, BK virus, or COVID-19 in cancer patients with weakened immune systems. The cells are modified to resist common anti-rejection drugs and target specific viruses. Up to 30 adults who have had a stem cell transplant or have certain cancers will receive these cells. The goal is to see if this approach is feasible and safe, not to cure the underlying cancer.
