  • Patients with hematological malignances who are not in MRD-negative CR and are not expected to require anticancer treatment for at least 28 days after the CTLs infusion.
  • English and non-English speaking patients. Written informed consent and/or signed assent from patient, parent or guardian. Negative pregnancy test in female patients of childbearing potential, defined as not post-menopausal for 12 months or no previous surgical sterilization.

  • Willingness to comply with the study protocol requirements.
  • Exclusion criteria:
  • Patients receiving systemic steroids at time of enrollment (physiological substitutive therapy s allowed), or who have received ATG --within 14 days or have received donor lymphocyte infusion (DLI) or Campath within 28 days of enrollment.
  • Patients with other infections other than COVID-19
  • Active acute or chronic GVHD.
  • Patients receiving immunosuppressive therapy
  • Patients with cognitive impairments and/or any serious unstable pre-existing medical condition or psychiatric disorder that can interfere with safety or with obtaining informed consent or compliance with study procedures.
