ATLANTIC Trial Summary

This trial will test a new therapy for people with a chronic norovirus infection who have either had a stem cell transplant or who have a primary immunodeficiency disorder.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people aged 3 months to 80 years with chronic norovirus infection after a bone marrow transplant or those with primary immunodeficiency. They must have stable health indicators like specific blood counts and organ function tests, not be pregnant, and able to consent. Those who've had certain recent treatments or uncontrolled infections can't join.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
The study is testing the safety of Norovirus-specific T-cell therapy in patients who either received a stem cell transplant or have an immune deficiency but haven't had a transplant. It's a Phase I trial where they gradually increase the dose to find out what's safe.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
Since this is an early-phase trial focused on safety, exact side effects aren't listed but may include typical reactions related to immune therapies such as fever, fatigue, allergic reactions, and potential worsening of underlying conditions.

1Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: Norovirus -specific T-cell (NST) therapy for chronic norovirus infectionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
This is a Phase I dose-escalation study to evaluate the safety of norovirus -specific T-cell (NST) therapy for chronic norovirus infection in participants following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) or with primary immunodeficiency disorders (PID) who have not undergone HSCT. There are two arms in this study: Arm A: Participants who receive donor-derived NST therapy after HSCT Arm B: Participants who receive partially HLA matched NSTs. The following participants apply: Participants with PID who have not undergone HSCT Participants who undergo HSCT but do not have available donor derived NSTs Participants who have donors from whom NSTs cannot be generated due to norovirus seronegativity

Frequently Asked Questions

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Does the protocol for this clinical trial accept participants who are of a more advanced age?

"As per the listed eligibility requirements, this medical research trial is available to patients aged between 3 months and 80 years."

Answered by AI

To what degree is NST therapy hazardous to those receiving it?

"Since this is an early-phase clinical trial, there is limited data to suggest that Norovirus-specific T-cell (NST) therapy can be both effective and safe. Our team at Power thus ranked safety of NST a 1 on the scale."

Answered by AI

How many volunteers are participating in this research?

"Indeed, the information on clinicaltrials.gov reveals that this research endeavour is actively looking for participants to enroll in their trial. The study was first advertised on March 17th 2022 with an update made May 6th of that same year and 48 volunteers are sought from 2 distinct sites."

Answered by AI

Are there presently any opportunities to join the experiment?

"Clinicaltrials.gov affirms that this trial is actively enrolling patients, which it originally posted on March 17th 2022. Most recently, the details of this study were updated on May 6th 2022."
