First seen Jan 11, 2026 · Last updated May 10, 2026 · Updated 21 times

Summary

This study tests whether valacyclovir works as well as valganciclovir for preventing CMV and EBV infections in kidney transplant patients. Both drugs are used to stop these viruses from becoming active after transplant. Valacyclovir may have fewer side effects, especially less bone marrow suppression, which is common with valganciclovir. The study will enroll 80 kidney transplant recipients and follow them to compare infection rates and side effects.
