    Biological: EBV immunological agent

Interventions

  • BiologicalEBV immunological agent

    27 participants with will be enrolled in the study and divided into three groups, including EBV-LPD (Adults group), EBV-LPD (Children group) and PTLD (Adults group) each with 9 people.The participants will be divided into three different dose groups, and a "3+3" dose escalation design is used. The low dose is 5.0×10\^5, the medium dose is 2.0×10\^6 and the high dose is 5.0×10\^6 for children and low dose is 5.0×10\^6, the medium dose is 2.0×10\^7 and the high dose is 5.0×10\^7 for adults. Only one dose will be administered to each participant with EBV immunological agent combined with Toripalimab 240mg.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Safety and tolerability

    Number of participants who experience grade 1 or higher adverse events, as defined by Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events version 5.0 (CTCAE v5.0).

    Time frame: up to 12 months

Secondary outcomes
