EBV-AST Cell Therapy for EBV-Related Diseases After Stem Cell Transplantation
China18 participantsStarted 2025-03-26
Plain-language summary
This exploratory clinical study focuses on the use of EBV-AST cell infusion for treating EBV-DNA viremia following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Allo-HSCT). The study aims to determine the maximum tolerated dose (MTD) or optimal biological dose (OBD) of EBV-AST cells and assess their safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy in treating EBV-DNA viremia. The study will involve a 3+3 dose escalation design to evaluate three different dosages of EBV-AST cell infusion. The study is expected to provide important insights into the clinical application of cell-based therapies for EBV infections.

Inclusion criteria
. The patient must be aged 18-75 years.
. ust have undergone Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (Allo-HSCT).
. Must have EBV-DNA viremia post-transplant, with EBV-DNA \> 1000 copies/mL (on two consecutive tests or one test \> 10,000 copies/mL).
. Karnofsky Performance Score (KPS) of 70 or higher.
. Expected survival of at least 3 months.
. Sufficient organ function, including renal (serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 × ULN and creatinine clearance ≥ 50 mL/min), hepatic (AST, ALT, and total bilirubin ≤ 5 × ULN), and hematologic parameters (platelets ≥ 10 × 10\^9/L, neutrophils ≥ 1.0 × 10\^9/L).
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD) of EBV-AST Cell Infusion
Timeframe: Day 1 through 28 days after each EBV-AST cell infusion during the dose escalation phase.
