Immune test could personalize CMV prevention in transplant patients
NCT ID NCT06449586
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether a CMV-specific T cell immunity test can help doctors decide how long to give letermovir to prevent late CMV infection after a stem cell transplant. About 250 adults with blood cancers who had a first transplant will take part. The goal is to see if using the test reduces late CMV infections compared to standard care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Letermovir
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could show that using an immunity test to personalize letermovir treatment reduces late CMV infections after stem cell transplants.
- What could go wrong
- This is a Phase 3 trial, but it is still early to know if the approach works better than standard care. The test may not accurately predict infection risk for all patients.
