Summary

This study tested whether a different medicine, maribavir, works as well as the standard valganciclovir to prevent CMV infection in kidney transplant patients at high risk. 70 adults who recently received a kidney transplant took part. The goal was to see which drug causes fewer side effects like low white blood cell counts while still preventing infection.
