Brief summary

Stem cell transplant recipients will receive an infusion of donor cells at least one month post transplant. Cells will have been stimulated in the laboratory so that they specifically recognise and kill parts of the viruses known as cytomegalovirus and adenovirus.

Interventions

Infusion of a single dose of in vitro stimulated lymphocytes at a dose of 2 x10^7/m2 over 5 minutes at 28 days post allogeneic stem cell transplant or beyond 28 days post allogeneic stem cell transplant if exclusion criteria prevent infusion on day 28. Infusion can be given up to 12 months post-transplant according to trial inclusion and exclusion criteria.
