What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This early-phase trial tests a new treatment called LB-DTK-BKV for people who develop painful bladder bleeding (hemorrhagic cystitis) from BK virus after a stem cell transplant. The treatment uses immune cells from a donor that are trained to attack the virus. About 42 children and adults will receive two infusions of these cells and be monitored for 6 months to see if the virus levels drop and if side effects occur.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
LB-DTK-BKV (BK virus-specific T cells from a donor)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a targeted treatment for painful bladder bleeding caused by BK virus after stem cell transplants, reducing the need for harsh supportive care.
What could go wrong
This is an early phase 1/2 trial with only 42 participants, so results may not apply widely. The treatment involves donor cells, which carry risks like infusion reactions or graft-versus-host disease.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients who have undergone allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, including pediatric and adolescent patients as well as adults who were 12 years of age or older at the time of transplantation. However, only adults aged 19 years or older are eligible for enrollment in Phase 1. 2. Patients diagnosed with BK virus-associated hemorrhagic cystitis who meet all three of the following criteria. * Clinical symptoms and signs of cystitis, such as lower abdominal pain and dysuria * Hematuria of grade 2 or higher according to the Bedi criteria * Detection of BKV \>7log10 copies/mL in urine 3. Subjects confirmed by the investigator to be unresponsive to treatment despite at least 7 days of standard inpatient therapy. 4. Patients with evidence of neutrophil engraftment, defined as an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) maintained at 0.5 × 10³/μL or higher for 3 consecutive days following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. 5. Patients for whom at least 21 days (D+21) have elapsed since allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation as of the screening date. 6. Patients who are able to reduce their steroid dosage to 0.5 mg/kg/day of prednisolone (or an equivalent dose) or less. 7. For women of childbearing potential, those who tested negative on a pregnancy test (blood test) performed on the screening visit. 8. Female subjects or male subjects with female partners who agree to use the following contraceptive methods during the duration of this clinical trial and who meet the following criteria: * Female participants or male participants with female partners who are postmenopausal (diagnosed with non-therapy-induced amenorrhea for 12 months or more or menopause) * Female subjects or the female partners of male subjects who are surgically sterile (i.e., lacking ovaries and/or a uterus) * Individuals who have agreed to strict abstinence during the clinical trial period \[For female participants, intermittent abstinence (e.g., withdrawal during ovulation, the basal body temperature method, or withdrawal after ovulation) does not constitute agreement to abstinence\] * If the female subject or the female partner of a male subject is a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) who has not undergone sterilization, those who meet the following criteria: * Hormonal contraceptives (implant, patch, oral) * Intrauterine devices * Dual barrier method (simultaneous use of the following two contraceptive methods: male condoms, female condoms, cervical caps, contraceptive diaphragms, contraceptive sponges) 9. Individuals who have voluntarily decided to participate in this clinical trial and have provided written consent to comply with the restrictions. 10. Individuals deemed suitable as trial subjects through screening tests (vital signs, physical examination, medical and surgical history, electrocardiogram, laboratory tests, etc.). Exclusion Criteria: 1. Individuals who have received treatment with ATG (Antithymocyte Globulin), Campath (Alemtuzumab), or other T-cell immunosuppressive monoclonal antibodies within 28 days prior to the first dose. 2. Patients with hemorrhagic cystitis caused by adenovirus (excluded via urine PCR) 3. Patients with bacterial growth in urine culture (excluded via bacterial culture) 4. Individuals who meet any of the following criteria at the time of screening: * Uncontrolled hypertension * Systolic BP ≥ 160 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥ 100 mmHg despite taking antihypertensive medication. * Uncontrolled diabetes: Severe diabetes is defined as follows. * Severe hyperglycemia with HbA1C ≥ 10.0% * Individuals who have been hospitalized for diabetic ketoacidosis within the past 12 weeks. * Individuals who have received emergency treatment or been hospitalized within the past 12 weeks for severe hypoglycemia (glucose \<54 mg/dL) accompanied by seizures and loss of consciousness. * Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) infection * Hepatitis B Virus (HBV) infection. However, individuals who are HBsAg-negative and Anti-HBcAb-positive are not subject to this exclusion criterion. * Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) infection * Tuberculosis * Syphilis * Moderate or severe liver damage \[Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) \> 5 times the upper limit of normal (ULN)\] * Patients with other uncontrolled infections. However, the following cases are considered controlled infections and do not meet the exclusion criteria. * Bacterial infection Patients must be undergoing definitive antibiotic treatment for the infection and must have shown no signs of progression of the infection for 72 hours prior to enrollment in this clinical trial. * Fungal infection The patient must be receiving systemic antifungal therapy and must have shown no signs of infection progression for 1 week prior to enrollment in this clinical trial. 5. Patients who have undergone allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation within 28 days prior to the scheduled first dose, or who have received donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) within 28 days prior to enrollment in this clinical trial. 6. Active acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) of grade 3 or higher. 7. Patients requiring urgent anticancer therapy due to rapid tumor progression. 8. Patients with a history of substance abuse within 24 weeks prior to administration of the investigational drug, or patients suspected of taking drugs of concern based on medical history and physical examination. 9. Patients requiring vasopressors. 10. Patients who have previously shown hypersensitivity to T-cell therapy. 11. Patients with a history of autoimmune disease. 12. Patients with hemophilia who are at risk of severe bleeding during administration, or patients receiving anticoagulants. 13. Patients who have received another investigational drug within 24 weeks prior to administration of the investigational drug. 14. Patients with a life expectancy of less than 24 hours at the time of the screening visit. 15. Patients deemed ineligible for participation in this clinical trial by the investigator.
