- Signs and symptoms of moderate disease
- History of systemic treatment
- Parent/Guardian/Patient must be able to give written informed consent
- Major chronic illness that is not well managed at the time of study entry and in the opinion of the investigator may increase the risk to the patient;
- Abnormal PT/INR or PTT increased > 1.5-fold or patient is on anticoagulation therapy (except in cases of elevated PTT with documented lupus anticoagulant; or in patients who have been on stable doses of anticoagulation therapy for more than 6 months of VTE diagnosis; or in patients on stable doses of anticoagulation therapy for at least 8 weeks of atrial fibrillation diagnosis; these conditions will not be exclusionary unless, in the investigator's opinion, they make participation in the study unsafe);

- History of primary immunodeficiency, organ, or allogeneic bone marrow transplant;
- Patients must be seronegative for hepatitis B surface antigen;
- Patients must be seronegative for hepatitis C antibody. If hepatitis C antibody test is positive, then patients must be tested for the presence of viremia by RT-PCR and must be HCV RNA negative;
- History of positive HIV or positive HIV at screening;
- Active tuberculosis or positive QuantiFERON test at screening;
- Any other laboratory abnormality that, in the opinion of the investigator, may jeopardize the subject's ability to participate in the study; 23. Any active significant cardiac or pulmonary disease not related to the primary indication as determined by principal investigator and medical monitor Note: Patients with asthma and COPD controlled with inhaled medications are allowed; 24. Any arterial or venous thromboembolic events in the past 3 months; 25. History of malignancy that required treatment in the past 3 years except for successfully-treated squamous cell and/or basal cell carcinoma of the skin and/or breast or colon cancer that is surgically removed and did not require adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy; 26. Treatment with any investigational agent within 4 weeks of screening or 5 half-lives of the investigational drug (whichever is longer); 27. Receipt of a live vaccination within 4 weeks prior to baseline (Day 1) or intent to receive live vaccination during the study (Note: mRNA-based vaccines such as those against SARS-CoV-2 are not considered live; likewise, the Janssen Covid-19 vaccine is not live); 28. History of significant recurrent infections or any active infection that may interfere with the patient's participation in the opinion of the investigator; 29.

- Arm && Interventions
Group Intervention Description Part 1: Decartes-08 to establish Maximum tolerated dose Descartes-08 Intra-patient dose escalation arm with three dose levels over the course of six infusions of cell product. Part 2: Decartes-08 infusions once weekly for 6 weeks Descartes-08 Descartes-08 infusions at the maximum tolerated dose level from Part 1.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Maximum tolerated dose in Part 1, type and frequency of treatment related SAE's in Part 2 Days 22 and 50 for Part1 , Days 22, 50 and Months 3,6,9 and 12 for part 2 The primary endpoint for Part-1 is the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD), defined as the Dose Level at which no more than 20% of the patients treated have shown Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT), i.e. at which 3 patients received all 6 weekly infusions without a DLT by Day 50; or 6 patients received 3 weekly infusions with no more than 1 patient having a DLT by Day 50.
The primary endpoint for Part-2 is the type and frequency of treatment-related SAEs. This will be assessed on Days 22, 50 and Months 3,6,9,12Maximum Dose Tolerated Days 2250 for Part 1, Days 11,50, month 3 for part 2 in addition to months, 4,6,9,12 The primary endpoint for Part-1 is the Maximum Tolerated Dose (MTD), defined as the Dose Level at which no more than 20% of the patients treated have shown Dose-Limiting Toxicity (DLT), i.e. at which 3 patients received all 6 weekly infusions without a DLT by Day 50; or 6 patients received 3 weekly infusions with no more than 1 patient having a DLT by Day 50. The primary endpoint for Part-2 is the type and frequency of treatment-related SAEs.
