First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Apr 28, 2026 · Updated 30 times

Summary

This study tests whether adding letermovir to the standard drug valganciclovir works better than valganciclovir alone for treating cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections in kidney transplant recipients. About 80 adults who have a CMV infection after their transplant will take either the two-drug combo or the single drug for up to 12 weeks. The main goal is to see if the combination lowers the virus level faster and more completely.
