Summary
This study tested a treatment for progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a serious brain infection that strikes people with weak immune systems. Researchers took blood cells from a healthy relative, grew them in a lab to boost their ability to fight the virus, and then gave them to the patient. The main goal was to see if this approach is safe and possible, with up to three infusions given over time.
