Trial Design

5Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Group I: EBV+ sarcoma, including LMS, or smooth muscle tumorsExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants with newly diagnosed EBV+ sarcoma for whom the standard first-line therapy is inappropriate, including LMS or smooth muscle tumor, will receive IV tabelecleucel.
Group II: EBV+ PTLD (inappropriate for first-line therapy or CD20-negative)Experimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants with EBV+ PTLD for whom standard first-line therapy (rituximab or chemotherapy) is inappropriate, including CD20-negative disease, will receive IV tabelecleucel.
Group III: EBV+ PID LPDExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants with R/R or newly diagnosed EBV+ PID LPD for whom standard first-line therapy is inappropriate, will receive IV tabelecleucel.
Group IV: EBV+ CNS PTLDExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants with R/R or newly diagnosed EBV+ CNS PTLD for whom standard first-line therapy is inappropriate, will receive IV tabelecleucel.
Group V: EBV+ AID LPDExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Participants with R/R or newly diagnosed EBV+ AID LPD for whom standard first-line therapy is inappropriate, will receive IV tabelecleucel.
