New study aims to uncover hidden burden of CMV in young transplant patients
NCT ID NCT06916195
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study reviews medical records of 230 children in Italy who received a stem cell transplant between 2018 and 2020. Researchers want to understand how common and costly cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation is in these young patients. The goal is to give doctors and health officials better information to improve care and reduce the burden of CMV.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this study could help doctors and hospitals better manage CMV in children after stem cell transplants, potentially reducing complications and healthcare costs.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study that only looks back at past data, so it cannot prove what works best. Results may not apply to other countries or newer treatments.

Who is studied
About 230 patients from birth to less than 18 years of age allogeneic HSCT recipients at risk of developing CMV infection and/or disease who underwent allogeneic HSCT between January 2018 and June 2020 in the participating hospitals will be enrolled in the study. The selected hospitals will be the main ones in Italy based on the number of transplants performed every year and also considering the geographical distribution.
