Inclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria

  • {"criterion_text":"- Positive serology for hepatitis B, defined as a positive test for HBsAg. In addition, if the patient is HBsAg negative but has anti-HBc antibodies it will be necessary to perform a DNA test of the hepatitis B virus, and if the result is positive the patient will be excluded"}

  • {"criterion_text":"- Concurrent uncontrolled medical illnesses including cardiac, renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, endocrine, pulmonary, neurological or psychiatric diseases that in the opinion of the investigator are potential risk factors to the patient"}

  • {"criterion_text":"- Early relapse after transplantation (less than 3 months for mononuclear cell apheresis, less than 6 months for infusion of ARI-0001)"}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Active immunosuppressive treatment for graft-versus-host disease and other diseases. The use of corticosteroids to control leukaemia at the time of inclusion should be limited as much as possible and should be discontinued prior to infusion of ARI-0001 cells."}
  • {"criterion_text":"- Active infection requiring systemic medical treatment such as chronic kidney infection, chronic lung infection or tuberculosis."}
  • {"criterion_text":"- HIV infection"}
