CYTOMEGALOVIRUS INFECTIONS

This study tests whether the drug letermovir can prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) from coming back in kidney or kidney/pancreas transplant patients who are at high risk. About 90 adults will take letermovir daily for 84 days and be followed for 6 months. The goal is to see if it red…

This early-stage trial tests whether specially grown immune cells from a donor can safely help transplant patients fight off viral infections that standard treatments can't control. The cells target Epstein-Barr virus, cytomegalovirus, adenovirus, and BK virus. Up to 36 adults wh…

This study tests whether a drug called letermovir is easier to tolerate than the standard treatment for preventing CMV infection in heart and lung transplant recipients. About 80 adults who have had a heart or lung transplant will take either letermovir or the usual drug, and res…

This study tests an experimental therapy that uses special immune cells (T-cells) from a donor to fight cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in people who have had a stem cell transplant. The therapy aims to boost the patient's immune system to clear the infection. About 20 participan…

This study tests a decision-support tool called MyCMV that helps doctors interpret blood test results for cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection during pregnancy. CMV is a common virus that can cause hearing loss and developmental problems in babies if the mother catches it for the firs…

This study tests a personalized approach to stopping the drug Letermovir, which prevents a common virus called CMV after a stem cell transplant. Instead of giving the drug for a fixed 100 days, doctors will use a blood test to see when a patient's own immune system has recovered …

This study looks at whether giving letermovir for a longer time (up to 28 weeks) can prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in Chinese adults who have a high risk of reactivation after a stem cell transplant. Participants must be at least 18, have had a stem cell transplant, and…

This study is looking at 100 adult patients who have had an organ or stem cell transplant and later developed a CMV infection that is resistant or hard to treat with standard antiviral drugs. Researchers want to find out how common this problem is and what factors make it more li…

This study analyzes dried blood spots from 630 newborns to find protein and RNA markers that could predict which babies with congenital CMV will develop hearing loss or other problems. Researchers will compare samples from infected babies who had complications, those who did not,…

This study follows 40 lung transplant patients who are at high risk for CMV infection because the donor had CMV but the recipient did not. Researchers want to learn how often the virus breaks through during standard antiviral treatment with valganciclovir. They will also track si…
