Eligibility

Recruits 7 paediatric patients.

Vulnerable Population
The trial includes children (minimum age ≥ 4 years). The protocol requires informed consent from subjects; where applicable, assent is required from minors and a parent(s) or legal guardian(s) must provide informed consent for the subject to participate. Multiple age‑specific assent and consent documents are provided (e.g., assent forms for ages 7–12 and 13–17 and parent/guardian ICFs).

Inclusion criteria

If symptomatic infection occurs between Day -7 (±3d) baseline testing and infusion baseline Day 1, the baseline Day -7 (±3d) testing will need to be repeated."}
