Summary

This trial is testing whether a new experimental therapy, third party LMP specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs), can prevent or treat EBV Disorder including either Hodgkin Lymphoma or non-Hodgkin Lymphoma or Lymphoepithelioma or severe chronic active EBV infection syndrome (SCAEBV) or Leiomyosarcoma which has come back or has not gone away after treatment, including the best treatment.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for people of any age or sex with EBV-positive Hodgkin's or non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma, other related diseases, or Severe Chronic EBV. They must have a life expectancy over 6 weeks and meet certain health criteria like normal liver function and adequate hemoglobin levels. Pregnant women and patients with severe graft-versus-host disease are excluded.
What is being tested?
The study tests if special immune cells called third party LMP specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) can prevent or treat relapsed EBV-related cancers by targeting the virus in cancer cells. Group A includes those in remission; Group B has detectable disease after stem cell transplant.
What are the potential side effects?
As this is an experimental therapy not yet approved by the FDA, potential side effects aren't fully known but may include typical immune response reactions such as fever, fatigue, and possible complications from targeting healthy cells.
