Eligibility

Recruits 20 Vulnerable population selected. Patients and donors must provide written informed consent: patients must voluntarily sign the written ICF before any study-related inclusion procedures and donors must voluntarily sign before apheresis donation. Patients must be ≥ 18 years. Patients with psychiatric/social situations or addictive disorders that may compromise the ability to give informed consent are excluded per Investigator judgement..

Pregnancy Exclusion
Women of childbearing potential must: have a negative pregnancy test; sexually active women must agree to use an effective method of birth control with their male partner (combined hormonal contraception or progesterone-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation, intrauterine device (IUD) intrauterine hormone-releasing system (IUS) bilateral tubal occlusion, vasectomy or sexual abstinence) consistently and correctly for at least 1 year after the last administration of cyclophosphamide; agree to not donate eggs (ova, oocytes) for the purposes of assisted reproduction for at least 1 year after the last administration of cyclophosphamide; agree to no plan to breastfeed for at least 100 days after the infusion of SMART101 and no plan to become pregnant for at least 1 year after the last administration of cyclophosphamide
