First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 33 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding artesunate to standard antiviral drugs (ganciclovir or valganciclovir) can better reduce CMV virus levels in adults who have received a kidney, lung, heart, or liver transplant. About 90 participants will be randomly assigned to receive either the combination or standard treatment alone. The goal is to improve control of the infection, not to cure it, since transplant patients need lifelong immune-suppressing medications.
