In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This phase II trial studies how well donor cytotoxic T lymphocytes work in treating patients with malignancies with BK and/or JC virus. Cytotoxic T lymphocytes are made from donated blood cells that are grown in the laboratory and are designed to kill viruses that can cause infections in transplant patients and may be an effective treatment in patients with malignancies with BK and/or JC virus.

Persisting fever without other signs or symptoms will not be interpreted as uncontrolled infection. * Patients with active acute GVHD grades II-IV.
