Blood test may let lung transplant patients ditch antiviral drugs sooner
NCT ID NCT05708755
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether a blood test that measures immune protection against a common virus (CMV) can safely shorten the time lung transplant recipients need to take antiviral medication. About 50 participants will have their antiviral treatment duration guided by the test results. The goal is to reduce drug side effects while still preventing viral infections after transplant.
