New hope for CMV in pregnancy: drug trial aims to shield newborns

NCT ID NCT05446571

First seen Apr 25, 2026 · Last updated Apr 25, 2026

Summary

This study tests if a drug called letermovir works better than valaciclovir to stop cytomegalovirus (CMV) from passing to the baby during pregnancy. About 46 pregnant women with a CMV-infected fetus will be randomly assigned to one of the two drugs. The goal is to see which drug clears the virus from the baby's blood at birth and reduces long-term health problems.
