New strategy aims to tame dangerous virus after cancer transplant
NCT ID NCT01199562
Summary
This study is testing a personalized plan to manage cytomegalovirus (CMV), a common and potentially serious infection, in patients who have received a donor stem cell transplant for blood cancers or disorders. The plan involves closely monitoring the virus level and the patient's immune status to decide when to start and stop antiviral drugs. Researchers also want to understand how the patient's and donor's genetics affect the risk of the virus coming back.
