Phase I/II Multicenter Trial of Antigen-specific Cytotoxic T Cells in the Treatment of Opportunistic Infections
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating pathogen-specific CTLs for Pathogen Infection and 6 related conditions. Currently recruiting, targeting 100 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Epstein Barr Virus (EBV) or Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection results in significant morbidity and mortality in hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) patients. HSCT patients often face opportunistic infections due to the immunosuppressive state during transplantation. Antimicrobial drugs are usually used for prophylactic purposes and for treatment after early detectable infections. Unfortunately, some patients develop resistance to such drug treatment. In addition to HSCT patient, immune compromised patient may also be victim to opportunistic infections. Many infections can be effectively managed by functional immune recovery. In this study, the safety and efficacy of microbial-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) will be investigated.
