New hope for transplant patients: gentler drug may prevent dangerous infections

NCT ID NCT06034925

Summary

This study tested whether a newer drug called maribavir works as well as the standard drug valganciclovir at preventing CMV infections in high-risk kidney transplant patients. Researchers specifically wanted to see if maribavir causes fewer serious side effects, like low white blood cell counts. The trial involved 70 adult kidney transplant recipients and compared infection rates and side effects over 12 months.
