NCT ID: NCT02103426 Completed - Healthy Subjects Clinical Trials

An Evaluation of a Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Vaccine (ASP0113) in CMV-Seropositive and CMV-Seronegative Healthy Subjects and CMV-Seronegative Dialysis Patients

Start date: December 30, 2013
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of the study is to determine whether ASP0113 (a CMV deoxyribonucleic acid [DNA] vaccine) can be detected in plasma after intramuscular (IM) injections, and to determine whether CMV-seropositive healthy volunteers, CMV-seronegative healthy volunteers, CMV-seronegative dialysis patients mount an immune response to the CMV proteins produced by the vaccine after repeated ASP0113 IM injection.

NCT ID: NCT01941056 Completed - Clinical trials for Cytomegalovirus Infection

Vaccine Therapy in Healthy Volunteers With or Without Previous Exposure to Cytomegalovirus

Start date: January 5, 2014
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This phase I trial studies the side effects and the best dose of vaccine therapy in healthy volunteers with or without previous exposure to cytomegalovirus. Vaccines made from a gene-modified virus may help the body build an immune response and may help prevent cytomegalovirus infection.

NCT ID: NCT01649869 Completed - Clinical trials for Cytomegalovirus Infection

Valganciclovir Therapy in Infants and Children With Congenital CMV Infection and Hearing Loss

Start date: February 24, 2015
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

This is an international, multi-center, double-blind, placebo-controlled evaluation valganciclovir treatment for up to 54 children (up to 4 years of age) with virologically-confirmed congenital CMV infection and hearing loss. Subject participation will be over a six-month period and study subjects will be stratified according to age. The primary objective is to assess whether a six-week course of oral valganciclovir can stabilize the hearing of children with congenital CMV infection who present with hearing loss.

NCT ID: NCT01588015 Completed - Clinical trials for Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia

Vaccine Therapy in Preventing Cytomegalovirus Infection in Patients With Hematological Malignancies Undergoing Donor Stem Cell Transplant

Start date: October 29, 2012
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

This randomized phase I trial studies the side effects of vaccine therapy in preventing cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in patients with hematological malignancies undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Vaccines made from a tetanus-CMV peptide or antigen may help the body build an effective immune response and prevent or delay the recurrence of CMV infection in patients undergoing donor stem cell transplant for hematological malignancies.

NCT ID: NCT01552369 Completed - Clinical trials for Cytomegalovirus Infection

CMV Antiviral Prevention Strategies in D+R-Liver Transplants ("CAPSIL")

Start date: October 29, 2012
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

This is a trial of preemptive therapy vs. prophylaxis for prevention of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease in R-D+ liver transplant patients. Subjects will be randomized within 10 days of transplant to receive in an open label design, either antiviral prophylaxis with valganciclovir, 900 mg orally once daily or preemptive therapy (weekly monitoring for CMV viremia by plasma PCR) for 100 days post-randomization with initiation of oral valganciclovir 900mg orally twice daily at onset of CMV viremia and continued until plasma PCR is negative on two consecutive weekly PCR tests). A minimum of 176 subjects will be enrolled in the study. The study duration is 7 years. The primary objective of this study is to compare prophylaxis versus preemptive therapy using valganciclovir for the prevention of CMV disease in R-/D+ liver transplant recipients.

NCT ID: NCT01354301 Completed - Clinical trials for Cytomegalovirus Infection

Efficacy and Safety of Induction Strategies Combined With Low Tacrolimus Exposure in Kidney Transplant Recipients Receiving Everolimus or Sodium Mycophenolate

Start date: May 2011
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Despite the improvement of efficacy results with current immunosuppressive regimens (about 15% of incidence of acute rejection), the security schemes used do not show the same results.The most worldwide used regime is tacrolimus, mycophenolate and prednisone. Despite the favorable efficacy results in our population, the use of this combination is associated with higher incidence of viral infections such as cytomegalovirus, and gastrointestinal events, two common causes of hospital readmissions after renal transplantation at our institution.Given this, the investigators propose a study of our own initiative that attends our local needs: identify the best strategy among the therapeutic options available to maintain the result of current effectiveness and improve the safety profile for kidney transplant recipients.This protocol is a prospective, randomized, single center, designed to compare the safety and efficacy of three immunosuppressive regimens: (1) single dose of antithymocyte globulin, reduced exposure to tacrolimus, everolimus starting on day 2 after transplantation and prednisone; ( 2) basiliximab, reduced exposure to tacrolimus, everolimus starting on day 2 after transplantation and prednisone; (3-control group) basiliximab, reduced exposure to tacrolimus, mycophenolate and prednisone.Our hypothesis is that a single dose of antithymocyte globulin or basiliximab induction therapy in combination with low doses of tacrolimus, everolimus and prednisone results in comparable efficacy observed in patients receiving tacrolimus / mycophenolate / prednisone, but with a better safety profile. To ensure efficacy, the investigators added to the regimes the induction with monoclonal or polyclonal antibody. To improve the toxicities associated with the current scheme, the investigators replace the use of mycophenolate by everolimus and the investigators reduced the dose of tacrolimus. Patients will be monitored for blood levels of tacrolimus and everolimus to ensure adequate exposure to immunosuppressive agents.

NCT ID: NCT01220895 Completed - Clinical trials for Cytomegalovirus Infection

Alternate Donor Study of Pre-Emptive Cellular Therapy

CMV-ACE/ASPECT
Start date: October 2010
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential clinical benefit of pre-emptive cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific adoptive cellular therapy following T cell depleted allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for reducing recurrent CMV reactivation.

NCT ID: NCT01199562 Completed - Clinical trials for Chronic Myelomonocytic Leukemia

Infection Prophylaxis and Management in Treating Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infection in Patients With Hematologic Malignancies Previously Treated With Donor Stem Cell Transplant

Start date: December 2010
Phase:
Study type: Observational

RATIONALE: Infection prophylaxis and management may help prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection caused by a stem cell transplant. PURPOSE:This clinical trial studies infection prophylaxis and management in treating cytomegalovirus infection in patients with hematologic malignancies previously treated with donor stem cell transplant.

NCT ID: NCT01178905 Completed - Preterm Infants Clinical Trials

Clinical Evaluation of Ultrashort-term Heat Inactivation of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Containing Raw Breast Milk to Prevent CMV-infection of Preterm Infants

Start date: August 2010
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

To evaluate, in a prospective multicenter study, ultrashort-term heat inactivation for the prevention of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) transmission in preterm infants (<32 weeks gestational age or <1500 g birth weight) under clinical conditions. Inactivation will be done only during the period of infectivity of breast milk, characterized by viral excretion strongly associated with subsequent infection, monitored by periodic virologic examinations of BM and urine of the infant. Thus the investigators hypothesis is that no CMV transmission through breast milk will occur using a gentle ultrashort heat inactivation procedure applied to infective breast milk. The protocol has been approved by the ethics committee of Tuebingen University Hospital.

NCT ID: NCT01077908 Completed - Clinical trials for Cytomegalovirus Infection

CMV-IMPACT
Start date: July 2008
Phase: Phase 3
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential clinical benefit of prophylactic cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific adoptive cellular therapy following T cell depleted allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for reducing recurrent CMV reactivation.
