Enrollment Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:
- Diagnosis of EBV+ disorder
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status <= 3 for participants aged >= 16
years; Lansky score >= 20 for participants from 1 year to < 16 years
- Adequate organ function test results, unless organ dysfunction is considered to be due
to the underlying EBV-associated disease by the investigator
Cohort-specific Inclusion Criteria:
- For participants with PID LPD:
- Newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory LPD confirmed by biopsy-proven EBV+ LPD or
positive cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) cytology with or without radiographically
measurable intracranial disease with EBV detected in CSF
- Participant must have systemic measurable disease and/ or CNS measurable disease
- Definitive therapy (eg, allogeneic HCT, gene therapy) for the underlying PID is
planned
- Participants with newly diagnosed disease should be ineligible for standard
first-line therapy for EBV+ LPD, as determined by the investigator
- For participants with AID LPD:
- Newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory LPD confirmed by biopsy-proven EBV+ LPD or
positive CSF cytology, with or without radiographically measurable intracranial
disease, with EBV detected in CSF
- Participant must have systemic measurable disease and/ or CNS measurable disease
- Participants who are human immunodeficiency virus positive (HIV+) must meet both
of the following criteria: Have an HIV viral load assessed by reverse
transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) below the lower limit of
detection and CD4 >= 50 cells/μL within 6 months prior to the first dose of
tabelecleucel
- Participants with newly diagnosed disease should be ineligible for standard
first-line therapy for EBV+ LPD, as determined by the investigator
- For participants with CNS PTLD:
- Newly diagnosed or relapsed/refractory EBV+ CNS PTLD histologically confirmed by
biopsy-proven EBV+ CNS PTLD or positive CSF cytology with or without
radiographically measurable intracranial disease with EBV detected in CSF
- Participant may have systemic and CNS disease or CNS disease only
- Participants with newly diagnosed disease should be ineligible for standard
first-line therapy for EBV+ LPD, as determined by the investigator
- For participants with EBV+ PTLD, where standard first line therapy (rituximab and/or
chemotherapy) is not appropriate, including CD20-negative disease:
- Newly diagnosed, biopsy-proven EBV+ PTLD
- Ineligible for standard first-line therapy for EBV+ PTLD, as determined by the
investigator
- Participants must have systemic disease measurable per Lugano Classification
criteria, except when contraindicated or mandated by local practice, then MRI may
be used.
- For participants with sarcoma, including LMS:
- Newly diagnosed or failed systemic first-line therapy for EBV+ sarcoma.
Participants with newly diagnosed disease should be ineligible for standard
first-line therapy for EBV+ sarcoma, as determined by the investigator.
- Biopsy-proven EBV+ sarcoma
- Measurable disease using diagnostic PET/CT and/or MRI following RECIST 1.1
criteria
- For participants with CAEBV:
- Newly diagnosed or previously treated CAEBV
- Detectable EBV viremia on at least 2 occasions at a minimum of 90 days apart
- At least 3 active clinical findings (per Kimura H, et al. Front Immunol.
2017;8:1867) as: Fever >= 38.5°C; splenomegaly, lymphadenopathy, and/or
hepatomegaly; cytopenia affecting at least 2 or 3 lineages in the peripheral
blood (hemoglobin < 9 g/dL, platelets < 100 × 10^3/mL, neutrophils < 1 ×
10^3/mL); hypogammaglobulinemia; hemophagocytosis; hepatitis; neuropathy; rash;
and hydroa vacciniforme
- For participants with EBV+ viremia with HLH:
- Newly diagnosed or previously treated EBV+ viremia with HLH
- A molecular diagnosis consistent with HLH-2004 trial (per Henter JI, et al.
Pediatr Blood Cancer. 2007;48:124-31) OR 5 or more of the clinical symptoms (per
Jordan MB, et al. Blood. 2011;118:4041-4052): Fever >= 38.5°C; splenomegaly;
cytopenia affecting at least 2 or 3 lineages in the peripheral blood (hemoglobin
< 9 g/dL, platelets < 100 × 10^3/mL, neutrophils < 1 × 10^3/mL);
hypertriglyceridemia (fasting >= 265 mg/dL) and/or hypofibrinogenemia (<= 150
mg/dL); hemophagocytosis in bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes, or liver; low or
absent natural killer cell (NK-cell) activity; ferritin >= 500 ng/mL; and
elevated soluble CD25
Exclusion Criteria:

- Prior therapy (in order of increasing washout period) prior to enrollment as:
- Within 4 weeks or 5 half-lives (whichever is shorter) for any investigational
product and/ or any chemotherapy (systemic or intrathecal), targeted small
molecule therapy, or antibody/biologic therapy. Note: prior anti-CD20 antibody
use is permitted within the washout period if a subsequent disease response
assessment indicates disease progression
- Within <= 8 weeks for cellular therapies (EBV-CTLs, chimeric antigen receptor
therapies directed at T cells or T-cell subsets, donor lymphocyte infusion, other
CTLs); and/or therapies which could impact tabelecleucel function (anti-thymocyte
globulin, alemtuzumab)
- Unwilling to use protocol specified contraceptive methods
- Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Ongoing need for daily steroids of > 0.5 mg/kg prednisone or glucocorticoid
equivalent, ongoing methotrexate, or extracorporeal photopheresis (protocol-specified
