Trial reportHaematologica2023
Allogeneic, off-the-shelf, SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells (ALVR109) for the treatment of COVID-19 in high-risk patients.
Trial report in Haematologica, 2023. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. It is linked to 5 registered trials, which are not on this map. Cited by 17 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it

Abstract
Defects in T-cell immunity to SARS-CoV-2 have been linked to an increased risk of severe COVID-19 (even after vaccination), persistent viral shedding and the emergence of more virulent viral variants. To address this T-cell deficit, we sought to prepare and cryopreserve banks of virus-specific T cells, which would be available as a partially HLA-matched, off-the-shelf product for immediate therapeutic use. By interrogating the peripheral blood of healthy convalescent donors, we identified immunodominant and protective T-cell target antigens, and generated and characterized polyclonal virus-specific T-cell lines with activity against multiple clinically important SARS-CoV-2 variants (including 'delta' and 'omicron'). The feasibility of making and safely utilizing such virus-specific T cells clinically was assessed by administering partially HLA-matched, third-party, cryopreserved SARS-CoV-2-specific T cells (ALVR109) in combination with other antiviral agents to four individuals who were hospitalized with COVID-19. This study establishes the feasibility of preparing and delivering off-the-shelf, SARS-CoV-2-directed, virus-specific T cells to patients with COVID-19 and supports the clinical use of these products outside of the profoundly immune compromised setting (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT04401410).
