Who can take part

AI summary

From the trial's eligibility criteria. Machine-read from the registry text on this page, so it can be wrong. The registry text below and the trial team decide who can take part.

The trial is looking for adults with CMV, BKV or EBV virus infection that did not respond to antiviral drugs. They must have had a donor stem cell transplant or certain cancer treatments.

Age
19 years or older.
Sex
All sexes can join.
Disease stage
Infection or related disease from CMV, BKV and/or EBV, one or more viruses, that resists antiviral drugs despite standard treatment.
Earlier treatment
A donor (allogeneic) stem cell transplant from bone marrow, cord blood or blood stem cells, or CAR-T (Kymriah, Yescarta) or bispecific antibodies (Glofitamab, Mosunetuzumab, Teclistamab, Elranatamab, etc). Steroid dose must be able to go down to 0.5mg/kg/day of Prednisolone or less. No ATG, Campath (Alemtuzumab) or similar T-cell antibodies within 28 days before the first dose.
Biomarker or test result
At least one MHC class I HLA tissue type shared with the trial product. Hemoglobin ≥8.0g/dL. Oxygen level (SpO2) ≥90% on room air. After transplant, neutrophil count at 0.5x10^3/μL or higher for 3 days in a row.

Main reasons for not taking part

  • Stem cell transplant or donor lymphocyte infusion within the last 28 days.
  • Active graft-versus-host disease of grade 2 or higher.
  • HIV, hepatitis B or C, tuberculosis, syphilis or other uncontrolled infections.
  • History of autoimmune disease, or needing drugs to support blood pressure.
  • Needing urgent cancer treatment due to fast tumor growth.

Who can take part

  • Patients aged 19 years or older who have undergone myeloablative or non-myeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation using bone marrow, single or double umbilical cord blood, or peripheral blood stem cells (PBSCs). Or patients who have undergone any of the following anticancer treatments:; CAR-T: Kymriah, Yescarta; Bispecific Antibody: Glofitamab, Mosunetuzumab, Teclistamab, Elranatamab, etc
  • Patients diagnosed with single or multiple, antiviral-resistant CMV, BKV, and/or EBV despite receiving standard treatment

  • Patients with a hemoglobin level ≥8.0g/dL
  • Patients with evidence of neutrophil engraftment, defined as an absolute neutrophil count (ANC) maintained at 0.5x10\^3/μL or higher for 3 consecutive days following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation

  • Female subjects or male subjects with female partners who agree to use the following contraceptive methods during the duration of this clinical trial and who meet the following criteria:; Female participants or male participants with female partners who are postmenopausal (diagnosed with non-therapy-induced amenorrhea for 12 months or more or menopause); Female subjects or the female partners of male subjects who are surgically sterile (i.e., lacking ovaries and/or a uterus); Individuals who have agreed to strict abstinence during the clinical trial period [For female participants, intermittent abstinence (e.g., withdrawal during ovulation, the basal body temperature method, or withdrawal after ovulation) does not constitute agreement to abstinence]; If the female subject or the female partner of a male subject is a woman of childbearing potential (WOCBP) who has not undergone sterilization, those who meet the following criteria:; Hormonal contraceptives (implant, patch, oral); Intrauterine devices; Dual barrier method (simultaneous use of the following two contraceptive methods: male condoms, female condoms, cervical caps, contraceptive diaphragms, contraceptive sponges)
  • Individuals who have voluntarily decided to participate in this clinical trial and have provided written consent to comply with the restrictions
  • Individuals deemed suitable as trial subjects through screening tests (vital signs, physical examination, medical and surgical history, electrocardiogram, laboratory tests, etc.)

Who cannot take part

  • Individuals who have received treatment with ATG (Antithymocyte Globulin), Campath (Alemtuzumab), or other T-cell immunosuppressive monoclonal antibodies within 28 days prior to the first dose

  • Patients with a history of substance abuse within 24 weeks prior to administration of the investigational drug, or patients suspected of taking drugs of concern based on medical history and physical examination
  • Patients who have previously shown hypersensitivity to T-cell therapy
  • Patients with hemophilia who are at risk of severe bleeding during administration, or patients receiving anticoagulants
  • Patients who have received another virus-specific T cell product within 28 days prior to administration of the investigational drug
  • Patients with active acute graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) of grade 2 or higher
  • Patients with a history of autoimmune disease
  • Individuals who meet any of the following criteria at the time of screening:; Uncontrolled hypertension; Systolic BP ≥ 160 mmHg or diastolic BP ≥ 100 mmHg despite taking antihypertensive medication; Uncontrolled diabetes: Severe diabetes is defined as follows:; Severe hyperglycemia with HbA1C ≥ 10.0%; Individuals who have been hospitalized for diabetic ketoacidosis within the past 12 weeks; Individuals who have received emergency treatment or been hospitalized within the past 12 weeks for severe hypoglycemia (glucose <54 mg/dL) accompanied by seizures and loss of consciousness; Other viral infections [Ex.

About the trial

What the trial wants to find out

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Multi-Virus Specific T cells (LB-DTK-MV) to treat patients diagnosed with antiviral-resistant CMV, BKV, or EBV infection or associated diseases after anticancer therapy or allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). The main questions it aims to answer are:

Read full original descriptionShow less

* What is the maximum tolerated dose of LB-DTK-MV based on dose-limiting toxicity? * Does the number of CMV, BKV, or EBV virus viral load decrease within 7 or 14 days after the second infusion of LB-DTK-MV? * Do treatment emergent adverse events occur after the second infusion?

Participants will:

* Receive a single intravenous infusion of LB-DTK-MV during the baseline visit (low dose: 1x10\^7/m\^2; high dose: 2x10\^7/m\^2). * Receive the second infusion of LB-DTK-MV intravenously at the same dose 14 days after the first infusion. * Attend weekly follow-up visits at the clinic for 6 months after the first dose.
