UK study digs into CMV infection patterns in kidney transplant patients
NCT ID NCT06568055
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study reviewed medical records of 330 kidney transplant patients in the UK to understand how cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections are managed. Researchers looked at how common these infections are, what treatments were used, and how well they worked. The goal was to gather information to improve future care, without changing any patient's treatment.

Who is studied
Adult participants with refractory CMV infection post-kidney transplant will be included. The reference cohort will include all participants identified to have responded to initial anti-CMV therapy post-transplant with no CMV which required the treatment of a 2nd anti-CMV agent during this episode of infection.

Inclusion Criteria: Refractory CMV group: 1. Participants aged greater than or equal to (\>=) 18 years at index date 2. Kidney transplant recipients on or subsequent to June 2016. 3. CMV viraemia or disease identified as requiring treatment and which was refractory to previous CMV management (at least one course of therapy), with or without confirmed resistance. 4. At least six months follow up time (except for participants who have died earlier). Reference cohort of non-refractory CMV group: 1. Participants aged \>=18 years. 2. Kidney transplant recipients. 3. Received initial CMV management (at least one course of therapy). 4. At least six months follow up time (except for participants who have died earlier). Exclusion Criteria: Refractory CMV group: 1. Multi-organ transplant recipients. 2. Participation recorded in an anti-CMV prophylaxis or treatment clinical trial from 2010 onward. Participants with non-refractory CMV are to be included as a reference to indicate impact of refractory CMV not responding to initial therapy on resource use and other outcomes. Reference cohort of non-refractory CMV group: 1. Multi-organ transplant recipients. 2. Participation recorded in an anti-CMV prophylaxis or treatment clinical trial from 2010. 3. CMV viremia or disease refractory to any previous anti-CMV therapy. 4. Treatment for CMV viremia or disease refractory to initial therapy during the follow up period.
