New vaccine aims to shield vulnerable cancer patients from dangerous virus

NCT ID NCT04060277

Summary

This study is testing a vaccine designed to prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in adults with blood cancers who are receiving a half-matched stem cell transplant. CMV is a common virus that can become life-threatening when the immune system is weakened after transplant. The trial will compare the vaccine to a placebo to see if it safely reduces CMV infections in the months after transplant.
