Clinical Trial Summary

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) establishes a chronic infection in 60% of the general population. In renal transplant recipients, it is responsible for morbidities occurring mainly in the first 6 months after transplantation. These include viral reactivations linked to immunosuppressive treatment inhibiting the anti-CMV T lymphocyte response. CMV infection, a sign of uncontrolled viral replication, is defined by the detection of viral DNA in the peripheral blood (DNAemia). CMV disease is defined as the association of an infection and symptoms attributable to the virus. In transplant recipients carrying the virus before transplantation (positive serology: CMV+), two infection prevention strategies are recommended: either close monitoring of DNAemia with antiviral treatment in the event of positive detection (pre-emptive strategy), or antiviral treatment for the first 3 months following the transplant (prophylactic strategy). Both strategies result in the occurrence of CMV infection in 15 to 20% of patients within the first 6 months, with the majority of events occurring between 3 and 6 months. Numerous studies show that the evaluation of the anti-CMV T lymphocyte response, either before (D0) or early after transplantation (D15), or when antiviral prophylaxis is stopped, allows the identification of patients at risk of CMV infection. No study has yet demonstrated the contribution of such an evaluation in a preventive strategy. We therefore propose such a study.
