Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and the tolerance of letermovir as part of dual antiviral therapy (in association with valganciclovir) in renal transplant recipients with CMV DNAemia, requiring valganciclovir treatment per investigator's judgment.


Clinical Trial Description

Ganciclovir and valganciclovir are the drugs of choice to treat CMV infections and diseases in immunocompromised patients. However, (val)ganciclovir does not seem to be a panacea and its modest efficacy and dose-limiting toxicities limit effectiveness. More, (val)ganciclovir use may drive development of drug-resistant infections, particularly in immunocompromised patients. An in vitro study suggested additive effects for the combination of letermovir with all approved drugs for treatment or prevention of CMV infections. Investigator's hypothesis is that letermovir plus valganciclovir dual therapy will inhibit CMV replication faster than valganciclovir monotherapy. More, the use of antiviral dual therapy aims to decrease the risk of drug resistance mutations' selection, as previously demonstrated in several other viral infections. In this study, renal transplant recipients with CMV DNAemia requiring valganciclovir will be randomized to receive either letermovir plus valganciclovir or letermovir placebo plus valganciclovir, until reaching the "treatment success" or the "treatment failure" criteria, up to 12 weeks. Treatment success will be defined as, from Week-3: - eradication of CMV DNAemia, defined as CMV DNAemia in whole blood below lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) < 200 IU/mL on 1 blood sample. - AND resolution of clinical symptoms of CMV disease (if appropriate) Treatment failure will be defined as fulfilling at least one criterion among: - failure to achieve a decrease of CMV DNAemia ≥ 1 log10 IU/mL at Week-3 compared to the baseline CMV DNAemia - persistence of CMV DNAemia ≥ LLOQ (200 IU/ml) at Week-12 - absence of improved CMV disease at Week-3. ;
