Number of Participants With Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT) Within 28 Days Secondary · 28 days

Dose-limiting Toxicity (DLT) was assessed as: * Absolute neutrophil count \<500/µL, to 28 day * Cytokine release syndrome/acute infusion reactions as CTCAE Grade 3 to 5 * Grade 3 to 4 acute GvHD. GvHD was staged as follows: * 1: Skin: rash \<25%. Liver: bilirubin (BIL) 2-3mg/dL. Gut: diarrhea (DIA) 500-1000 mL/day * 2: Skin: rash 25-50%. Liver: BIL 3-6mg/dL. Gut: DIA 1001-1500 mL/day * 3: Skin: rash \> 50%. Liver: BIL 6-15mg/dL. Gut: DIA \>1501-2000 mL/day * 4: Skin: generalized erythroderma. Liver: BIL \>15mg/dL. Gut: DIA \>2001 mL/day GvHD was graded as follows. * 1: Skin Stage 1

Sponsor's own description

This study looks at giving specific types of immune cells, called regulatory T cells and conventional T cells, to patients with blood cancers who are receiving a stem cell transplant. These cells are added back to help the immune system recover and reduce complications after the transplant.
