The present trial will consist of the treatment of 20 pediatric and adult Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (HSCT) recipients or immunocompromised participants diagnosed with opportunistic Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections with virus-specific, antigen-selected T-cells. CMV-specific T-cells will be isolated from donor leukapheresis products using the CliniMACS® Prodigy. Prior studies on transfer of CMV specific T-cells have been shown to be safe and efficacious in the treatment of CMV infections. The main trial objective is to evaluate the feasibility and safety of CMV-specific T-cell transfer in adult and pediatric participants suffering from CMV infections or reactivation following HSCT or due to other immunocompromised states (e.g.; primary immunodeficiency, cytotoxic therapy). Participants will be followed for one year.

Feasibility: Number of Participants Who Drop-Out Before T-Cell Transfer
The feasibility of this intervention will in part be accomplished by measuring the number of dropped out participants before T-Cell Transfer.
Time frame: up to 21 days from enrollement
Feasibility: Number of Days from Participant Enrollment to Administration of CMV-VST
The feasibility of this intervention will in part be accomplished by measuring the amount of time from participant enrollment to administration of Cytomegalovirus-Viral Specific T-Cells (CMV-VST).
Time frame: up to 21 days from enrollment
Feasibility: Successful production of CMV-VST from donors
The feasibility of this intervention will be assessed by quantifying the number of successful productions of Cytomegalovirus-Viral Specific T-Cells (CMV-VST) on an intent to treat basis.
Time frame: up to 21 weeks from enrollment
Safety: Number of Subjects who experience infusion-related adverse events following CMV-VST infusion
Incidence assessed by monitoring vital signs and specific adverse events
Time frame: up to 4 hours after CMV-VST infusion
Safety: Number of Subjects who experience newly occurring acute GVHD grade 1
Incidence of subjects who experience newly occurring acute GVHD grade 1
Time frame: up to 12 weeks from CMV-VST infusion
Safety: Number of subjects experiencing newly occurring acute GVHD grade ≥ 2 or experience aggravation of pre-existing acute GVHD
Incidence of newly occurring acute GVHD grade ≥ 2 or increase in grade of pre-existing acute GVHD
Time frame: up to 12 weeks from CMV-VST infusion
Safety: Number of subjects experiencing chronic GVHD
Incidence of chronic GVHD
Time frame: up to 12 weeks from CMV-VST infusion
The number of severe infusion-related adverse events or severe non-hematological adverse events
Incidence of infusion-related adverse events ≥ grade 3 and non-hematological adverse events ≥ grade 4 after CMV-VST, which are not due to pre-existing infection or original malignancy or pre-existing condition
Time frame: up to 28 days from CMV-VST infusion
Safety: Time to Occurrence of GVHD
Time to occurrence of acute GVHD of any grade or to occurrence of chronic GVHD will be evaluated using the Kaplan-Meier method to assess incidence and severity of acute or chronic GVHD from day of T-cell transfer. The first day of GVHD onset at a certain grade will be used to calculate a cumulative incidence curve for that GVHD grade, acute or chronic. Overall cumulative incidence curves will be computed along with the 95% confidence intervals until Week 12 after T-cell transfer with death considered as a competing risk.
Time frame: up to 12 weeks from CMV-VST infusion
Efficacy: Percentage of Participants with a ≥1 log decrease in CMV viral load
Evaluation of efficacy will in part be measured by percentage of participants with a ≥1 log decrease in CMV viral load at Week 12.
Time frame: up to 12 weeks from CMV-VST infusion
Efficacy: Time to ≥1 log change in viral load
Evaluation of efficacy will in part be measured by time to ≥1 log change in viral load in days.
Time frame: up to 12 weeks from CMV-VST infusion
Efficacy: Number of Participants with CMV Clearance
Evaluation of efficacy will in part be measured by the number of patients with CMV clearance, defined as negative Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) from Day 7 to Week 12 after T-cell transfer.
Time frame: up to 12 weeks from CMV-VST infusion
Efficacy: Time to CMV Clearance
Evaluation of efficacy will in part be measured by the time to CMV clearance (defined as negative PCR) from Day 0 to first day of two subsequent negative CMV PCR studies.
Time frame: up to 12 weeks from CMV-VST infusion
Efficacy: Number of Participants with Reduction or Clearance of Clinical Symptoms
Evaluation of efficacy will in part be measured by the number of participants with reduction or clearance of clinical symptoms of underlying CMV infection from Day 7 to Week 12 after T-cell transfer as compared to Day 0.
Time frame: up to 12 weeks from CMV-VST infusion
Efficacy: Number of CMV Reactivations Following Initial Viral Clearance
Evaluation of efficacy will in part be measured by the number of CMV reactivations following initial viral clearance until Week 52.
Time frame: up to 52 weeks from CMV-VST infusion
Efficacy: Overall Survival
Evaluation of efficacy will in part be measured by the overall survival. Overall survival rate (OS): time from T-cell transfer (Day 0) to death or last follow-up throughout the study from Day 1 to Week 52.
