Transplant drug tweak may tame common virus
NCT ID NCT07570433
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether adjusting the dose of anti-rejection drugs can help control CMV infection in organ transplant recipients. About 100 adults who have had a kidney, liver, heart, lung, or pancreas transplant and now have a CMV infection will take part. Researchers will monitor how the virus levels change and use immune system tests to guide treatment.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * Clinically stable adult patients (aged 18 years or older) who have received a solid organ transplant (e.g., kidney, liver, heart, lung, pancreas) and developed clinically significant CMV infection as determined by positive CMV PCR. * On maintenance therapy of tacrolimus, MPA, +/- steroids. * Informed consent signed. Exclusion Criteria: * Active acute graft rejection or significant graft dysfunction requiring modification of the current immunosuppressive regimen, in the opinion of the investigator. * Receipt of more than 72 hours of antiviral therapy for CMV infection prior to enrolment, before randomization, including valganciclovir and/or IV ganciclovir therapy * Known intolerance or hypersensitivity to mTOR inhibitors or to any component of the everolimus formulation. * Any medical condition that constitutes a contraindication to everolimus use, as judged by the investigator. * Additional exclusion criteria for French sites: * Patient not affiliated to the French social security system * Patient under legal protection (guardianship, curatorship).
