Heart transplant trial tests safer infection prevention

NCT ID NCT07079735

Summary

This study aims to find the best drug to prevent a common and serious viral infection (CMV) in people who have received a heart transplant. It will compare the safety and effectiveness of a newer drug, letermovir, against the current standard, valganciclovir, in 150 adult transplant patients. The main goal is to see if the newer drug works just as well while causing fewer side effects related to low white blood cell counts.
