Summary

This trial is testing whether a person's previous infection with the coronavirus can help treat other family members with the virus.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults aged 18 to 65 with mild to moderate COVID-19 and certain high-risk conditions like chronic lung disease, heart disease, diabetes, obesity, or a weakened immune system. They must be hospitalized but not on oxygen at home prior to admission. A family member who's recently recovered from COVID-19 will donate T cells for the treatment.
What is being tested?
The study is testing if virus-specific T cells (CTLs) from a family donor can treat COVID-19 in patients with mild to moderate symptoms. Participants will receive standard care plus these CTLs and their effectiveness and safety will be evaluated.
What are the potential side effects?
Potential side effects are not detailed here but may include typical reactions related to immune therapies such as infusion reactions, increased risk of infections due to immunosuppression, or possible organ inflammation.
