Description

Summary

BK cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) manufactured with the Miltenyi CliniMACS Prodigy Cytokine Capture System will be safe and effective in decreasing specific viral load in children, adolescents and young adults (CAYA) with refractory BK infection post Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AlloHSCT) or with primary immunodeficiencies (PID).

Official Title

A Pilot Study in the Treatment of Refractory BK Infections With Related Donor BK Specific Cytotoxic T-cells (CTLs) in Children, Adolescents and Young Adult Recipients

Keywords

Viral Infection, Primary Immune Deficiency Disorder, Infections, Communicable Diseases, Virus Diseases, Primary Immunodeficiency Diseases, Immunologic Deficiency Syndromes, BK CTL

Eligibility

  • Medical intolerance to anti-viral therapies including:
    • 2 renal toxicity with cidofovir or other > grade 2 toxicities secondary to cidofovir And/or
  • known resistance to cidofovir 1.2. Consent: Written informed consent given (by patient or legal representative) prior to any study-related procedures.
