NCT ID NCT05446571

First seen Apr 25, 2026 · Last updated May 01, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests if the drug letermovir can better control CMV virus in unborn babies compared to the current drug valaciclovir. Pregnant women with a first-trimester CMV infection and an infected fetus (confirmed by amniotic fluid test) may join. The goal is to see if letermovir leads to more babies testing negative for CMV at birth.
