Lab-Grown 'Killer Cells' deployed to fight dangerous viruses in vulnerable patients

NCT ID NCT02479698

Summary

This study is testing a new cell therapy for people with serious BK or JC virus infections. These viruses can cause severe problems in people with weakened immune systems, such as those with cancer, HIV, or a transplant. Doctors take virus-fighting immune cells from a donor, grow them in a lab, and infuse them into patients to see if they can control the infection.
