Summary

This study tests whether the drug letermovir can prevent the reactivation of cytomegalovirus (CMV) in adults who have received a type of cell therapy called axicabtagene ciloleucel for cancer. About 36 participants who are CMV-positive will take letermovir and be monitored for side effects and virus levels. The goal is to see if this approach is safe and effective at keeping CMV under control.
