- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method The percentage of patients with a peak number of circulating CMV-reactive T-cells above 10 x 10^6/l within the first two months post single positive PCR result (or ACT infusion), measured in the first two months following ACT infusion.
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <br> 1. Incidence and severity of GvHD<br> 2. The earliest detection of CMV-reactive T cells in the peripheral blood<br> 3. Duration of CMV antiviral drug therapy (total days), number of in-patient days and number of reactivation episodes<br><br> All measured on a weekly basis for the first 100 days following infusion and then monthly up to 6 months thereafter.<br>
