New drug combo aims to beat CMV in kidney transplants
NCT ID NCT06334497
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adding letermovir to the standard drug valganciclovir works better than valganciclovir alone for treating CMV infections in kidney transplant recipients. About 80 adults who have a kidney transplant and a CMV infection will take part. The goal is to see if the combination lowers the virus faster and more safely.
