Summary

This early-stage trial tests a therapy made from donor immune cells, called LB-DTK-COV19, in adults with severe COVID-19. The cells are designed to target the virus and are given as a single infusion. The study aims to find a safe dose and see if the treatment can improve symptoms and reduce viral levels.
