What this Trial Is About

Researchers are evaluating the safety and feasibility of infusing donor-derived virus-specific T-cells selected by the cytokine capture system (CCS) in patients who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and have treatment-resistant viral infections. This study focuses on infections caused by cytomegalovirus (CMV), Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), and adenovirus. The CCS technology has been used successfully in previous clinical studies in Germany and the UK. The study is conducted as a single-center, open-label, single-arm trial where donor-derived interferon-gamma (IFN-B3) positive T-cells are generated and infused into HSCT recipients with viral infections. Six patients from the University Hospital of Basel will be included. If safety is confirmed, future studies will explore the treatment's efficacy and expand its use to other pathogens and patient groups, including solid organ transplant recipients. Participants will receive the selected IFN-B3 positive T-cell infusions and be closely monitored. Researchers will assess the level of enriched IFN-B3 positive T-cells within 7 days and evaluate treatment efficacy at the same timepoint. Safety and viral response will be regularly checked during the study. The trial started in December 2014 and is expected to continue until December 2026.
