Safer shield? study tests gentler drug to protect transplant patients from viruses

NCT ID NCT07294547

Summary

This study aims to find out if a drug called valacyclovir works as well as the standard drug, valganciclovir, at preventing dangerous viral infections in people who have received a kidney transplant. Researchers want to see if valacyclovir causes fewer serious side effects, like bone marrow problems. The study will follow 80 transplant patients for two years to compare how well each drug controls the viruses.
