Filter by:The purpose of this study is to determine of letermovir (LTC) is effective at preventing Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection from returning in people who have already had CMV infection after a bone marrow transplant.
Human cytomegalovirus (HCMV) is the leading infectious agent causing congenital disabilities such as mental retardation, psychomotor delay, hearing loss, speech and language disabilities, behavioural disorders and visual impairment. About 0.6% newborns are HCMV-congenitally infected and, among these, about 20% are symptomatic at birth or will develop long-term sequelae. The public health impact of congenital HCMV is substantial although greatly unrecognized. In Italy, estimated direct costs per affected child exceed €100.000 for a total of €60-70M. HCMV is also a significant cause of infection/disease in the immunocompromised host. Epidemiological studies and population-based models have preliminarily documented that most of the burden associated to congenital HCMV would be due to non-primary maternal infection. Presently, reinfections are believed to be responsible for the great majority of infected fetuses born to immune mothers. This study addresses incidence, outcome and prevention of congenital HCMV infection in seropositive pregnant women.The study includes 2 parts: part 1 in which the incidence and outcome of congenital HCMV is investigated in a large population of HCMV seropositive pregnant women and HCMV shedding and immune response is closely monitored in a subset of participants (nested study); part 2 in which the efficacy of an hygiene intervention is assessed.
This study measures the tolerability of viral-specific T cells against Cytomegalovirus (CMV) in adult solid organ transplant (SOT) recipients. Participants are expected to be on study for 52 +/- 3 weeks.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK) of letermovir (LET) in pediatric participants. Participants will be enrolled in the following 3 age groups: Age Group 1: From 12 to <18 years of age (adolescents); Age Group 2: From 2 to <12 years of age (children); and Age Group 3: From birth to <2 years of age (neonates, infants and toddlers). All participants will receive open label LET for 14 weeks (~100 days) post-transplant, with doses based on body weight and age.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of letermovir (LET) versus placebo when cytomegalovirus (CMV) prophylaxis was extended from 100 days to 200 days post-transplant in CMV seropositive participants who received an allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). It was hypothesized that LET is superior to placebo in the prevention of clinically-significant CMV infection when LET prophylaxis is extended from 100 to 200 days.
Evaluation of anti-CMV T cellular immunity using an IGRA test (Quantiferon-CMV test) in kidney transplant recipients and hemodialysis patients, comparison to control patients.
This trial will evaluate whether empirical treatment against cytomegalovirus and tuberculosis improves survival of HIV-infected infants with severe pneumonia.
This is a randomized clinical trial to assess whether a subject centered, self-collection of Dried blood spots (DBS) samples will improve compliance with the clinical recommendation of weekly Cytomegalovirus (CMV) testing of Hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients who are at high risk for late CMV disease. In this study, mobile devices will be used to remind HCT survivors to perform CMV monitoring using finger-stick collected DBS testing in their home setting or to visit their doctor's office to perform the test. 150 allogeneic HCT recipients > /= 15 years of age will be randomized (2:1) to DBS monitoring or standard of care (per local institution) monitoring. Duration of study participation is anticipated to be within a range of 26 weeks to 43 weeks. The primary objective is to evaluate adherence to recommended CMV monitoring duration and interval during the first year after HCT upon enrollment using subject collected dried blood spot testing.
To evaluate the Quantiferon-CMV test ability to predict occurrence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease o treated infection after kidney transplantation. Patients studied are those already infected by CMV before transplantation ("seropositive"). Patients given thymoglobulin as induction therapy receive CMV prophylaxis with valganciclovir, while those given basiliximab undergo weekly monitoring for CMV viremia with preemptive treatment as needed.
The purpose of the study is to assess the safety and tolerability of a 3-dose regimen of V160 administered by intramuscular (IM) injection in healthy Japanese male participants by cytomegalovirus (CMV) serostatus. There is no formal hypothesis.
