Filter by:The purpose of this study is to assess the effect of pre-transplant mRNA-1647 on post-transplant cytomegalovirus (CMV) virologic outcomes, anti-CMV antiviral use, and clinical outcomes in CMV-seropositive and CMV-seronegative liver transplant candidates who receive transplants and to assess the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of mRNA-1647 in all participants.
This phase Ib trial evaluates the safety and most effective dose of a cytomegalovirus (CMV) pp65 peptide-loaded alpha-type-1 polarized dendritic cell (CMV-alphaDC1) vaccination in patients who are undergoing an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. CMV is an opportunistic infection that can occur or reactivate after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant as a result of immunosuppression. The CMV-alphaDC1 vaccine is made of white blood cells that have been exposed to molecules called cytokines, as well as CMV proteins. Introducing these dendritic cells to the patients immune system may activate an immune response to CMV, protecting against infection or reactivation.
Kidney transplant patients under an immunosuppressive treatment based on anti-calcineurin and mycophenolate-mofetil and induction therapy with rATG who suffer from early systemic viral replication by the CMV virus could benefit from the introduction of an i-mTor drug. (everolimus) to replace mycophenolate mofetil. This conversion would be effective in slowing down and controlling viral expansion without the need to initiate any prophylactic anti-viral therapy thanks to the activation of the CMV-specific cellular effector response or to an antiviral effect of i-Mtor itself.
i2-D²EFT substudy is an observational cohort nested within the parent D²EFT study (NCT03017872). D²EFT goal is to compare the standard of care second-line antiretroviral therapy in people living with HIV whose first-line non nucleoside reverse transcriptase-based regimen failed, to two simpler regimens. Approximately 1,000 participants will be enrolled in D²EFT. Commencing a second-line ART is an important moment when the level of inflammation in participants may be elevated due to first-line ART failure; this level of inflammation should then decrease with the commencement of a new second-line treatment and would be expected to normalise by 48 weeks of second-line treatment, if successful. The investigators propose to study other factors which can influence the decrease of inflammation. The investigators hypothesise that co-infections may play a role in persistent inflammation. The key-infections of interest will be common frequent infections encounter throughout the world: Human Herpes virus 8, Epstein-Barr virus, Cytomegalovirus and Human papillomavirus, tuberculosis, malaria and other key opportunistic infections. Possible changes of level of inflammation (using the serum level of Interleukin 6) in approximately 200 participants of the D²EFT study will be investigated and measured. The hypothesis is that the presence of other infections than HIV may influence the level of inflammation in participants in therapeutic success.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the feasibility of using CSJ148 to prevent congenital human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) in pregnant women with primary HCMV infection.
Invasive infections with CMV and Adenovirus, not responding to virostatic treatment are treated with virusspecific donor derived or autologous virusspecific T-cells.
If the participant decides to take part in the study, the participant will need to do the following: Visit the study clinic up to 10 times and be available for a reasonable amount of follow up phone calls to see how the participant is doing. The participant will receive three doses of vaccine injected into the muscle of the upper arm. After each injection the participant will be asked to remain at the study site for at least 30 minutes after the participant receives the study vaccine. The results of all of the participants blood tests, just like all other laboratory test results, will be provided to the Investigators, Sponsor, and vaccine developer. Positive HIV and viral hepatitis test results will be reportable to local health authorities according to local laws. The participant will be asked to refrain from excessive physical activities and alcohol consumption within 2 days before each clinic visit to avoid possible confusing effects on laboratory tests.
To evaluate the safety and efficacy for treatment of persistent CMV infection in hematopoietic cell transplant (HCT) recipients.
The aim of this study is to investigate short and long term consequences from early postnatal HCMV infection transmitted via human milk in very preterm infants (birth weight < 1500 g or gestational age < 32 weeks). These infants are at high risk of early death or survival with chronic disease and neurodevelopmental impairment if infected with HCMV. Infection is a common complication in this group of patients and reported to be the most frequent cause of death after the second week of life. Systemic infection in the newborn period is reported as representing an independent risk factor for survival with neurodevelopmental impairment among very preterm infants.
Part A: To determine the safety and pharmacokinetics of sequential single doses of cidofovir in HIV-infected children with end-organ cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease. Part B: To determine the safety (including time to progression of CMV retinitis by retinal exam), pharmacokinetics, and long-term (6 months) tolerance of multiple-dose cidofovir in HIV-infected children with CMV retinitis. Part B: To determine the effect of multiple-dose cidofovir on the virologic parameters of CMV retinitis (viral load, shedding, and resistance to antiviral agents). [AS PER AMENDMENT 1/7/98: To determine the safety, tolerance and pharmacokinetics of sequential single doses of cidofovir in HIV-infected children with CMV retinitis. To determine the safety (including time to progression of CMV retinitis by retinal exam), pharmacokinetics, and long-term (6-month) tolerance of multiple doses of cidofovir in HIV-infected children with CMV retinitis.] While the intravenous formulation of cidofovir has been approved for the treatment of CMV retinitis in HIV-infected individuals, information is limited regarding its safety and tolerance in HIV-infected children. Intravenous cidofovir requires less frequent administration for both induction and maintenance therapy of CMV retinitis than other currently available therapies. If found to be safe and well tolerated in HIV-infected children with CMV retinitis, intravenous cidofovir would add significantly to agents available to treat this debilitating opportunistic infection.
