NCT ID NCT06798909

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests two different approaches to prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease in adults who have received a kidney from a CMV-positive donor but are themselves CMV-negative. One group will take daily antiviral medicine for 200 days after transplant, while the other group will have weekly blood tests and only take medicine if the virus appears. The goal is to see which method better prevents CMV disease in the first year after transplant.
