Study Summary

This trial will test if a T-cell immunotherapy specific to cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a feasible treatment for CMV infections.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for patients who've had a bone marrow transplant and are over 30 days post-transplant, with CMV infections not improving after antiviral therapy or those experiencing side effects from such treatments. Participants need to be able to consent and use contraception if applicable. Excluded are pregnant/breastfeeding women, recent recipients of certain immune therapies, those with other viral infections or active severe graft vs. host disease.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study tests the feasibility of using donor-derived T-cells that target cytomegalovirus (CMV) in patients who have received a bone marrow transplant. This cell-based immunotherapy aims to bolster the patient's immune response against CMV infection.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects aren't listed here, adoptive T-cell therapy can potentially cause immune reactions, infusion-related symptoms like fever or chills, and may affect how well the transplanted cells engraft.
