Description

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

I. To assess the feasibility and safety of administering genetically engineered glucocorticoid receptor knock out virus specific cytotoxic T-lymphocyte (CTL) lines in immunosuppressed cancer patients with viral infections (BKV, JCV, CMV, adenovirus, COVID19).

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES:

I. To obtain preliminary data about the efficacy of administering genetically engineered glucocorticoid receptor knock out virus specific CTL lines in immunosuppressed cancer patients with viral infections (BKV, JCV, CMV, adenovirus, COVID19).

II. To assess the persistence of the administered cells in the patients. III. To obtain data about relapse free survival (RFS) and overall survival (OS).

OUTLINE:

Patients receive virus-specific CTLs intravenously (IV) over 30 minutes. Patients with partial response, stable disease, or progressive disease may receive up to 8 additional infusions of virus-specific CTL at least 2 weeks between each infusion.

After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up yearly for 15 years.
