Engineered donor cells aim to shield transplant patients from dangerous viruses
NCT ID NCT07672964
First seen Jun 29, 2026 · Last updated Jun 30, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This trial tests whether giving patients a special type of donor immune cell, called CD45RA-depleted DLI, can prevent serious viral infections after a stem cell transplant. The study includes 30 high-risk patients who have received a transplant for blood cancer. Researchers will monitor for infections like CMV and EBV, and check how well the immune system recovers.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- CD45RA-depleted donor lymphocyte infusion
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this approach could reduce the risk of life-threatening viral infections after stem cell transplants, improving survival and recovery.
- What could go wrong
- This is an early-phase trial with only 30 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The treatment itself may cause side effects like graft-versus-host disease.

Inclusion Criteria: Participants must meet all of the following criteria: * Patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (any conditioning regimen or graft source is allowed). * Presence of at least one high-risk factor for post-transplant viral infection (any of the following): * Age ≥50 years or ≤14 years * Non-sibling matched transplantation * In vivo or ex vivo T-cell depletion * Myeloablative conditioning * Conditioning containing radiotherapy * Second transplantation * CMV IgG or EBV IgG donor/recipient mismatch (donor positive, recipient negative) * History of grade II or higher acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after transplantation and use of high-dose corticosteroids (prednisone equivalent ≥1 mg/kg/day) * Availability of a suitable lymphocyte donor (see "Donor Selection Criteria"). * Adequate organ function meeting the following laboratory criteria: * Liver function: ALT and AST ≤10× upper limit of normal (ULN); total bilirubin ≤5× ULN * Renal function: BUN and creatinine ≤1.25× ULN * No cardiac dysfunction on electrocardiogram or echocardiogram * Pulmonary function: oxygen saturation \>90% without supplemental oxygen * The patient or legal guardian has the desire and request to receive treatment, signs the informed consent form before treatment, and is willing to comply with the treatment plan, follow-up schedule, and laboratory tests. Exclusion Criteria: Patients meeting any of the following criteria will be excluded from this study: * Active grade II-IV acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) * Active aGVHD requiring prednisone or equivalent corticosteroid \>0.5 mg/kg/day * Active viral infection * Uncontrolled or relapsed malignancy * Other serious acute or chronic physical or psychiatric conditions, or laboratory abnormalities, that may compromise patient safety or compliance, or affect informed consent, study participation, follow-up, or interpretation of results.
