Filter by: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.
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.
The trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of letermovir antiviral treatment of active cytomegalovirus infection or cytomegalovirus disease in patients with infections that are refractory or resistant to available treatments or who are experiencing organ dysfunction that makes unsafe the use of available antiviral treatments.
The aim of this project is to determine the epidemiology of congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and incidence of subsequent permanent neurological sequelae in a high HIV prevalent setting in Soweto, Johannesburg. A cross-sectional study will be conducted on mother-infant pairs, screening mothers for CMV infection and newborns for congenital CMV infection. Maternal CMV prevalence will be determined by testing for CMV specific antibodies in blood. Newborn congenital infection will be determined by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) tests on newborn saliva and urine within 3 weeks of birth. Various risk factors associated with congenital CMV such as HIV exposure, and gestational age will be assessed. The association between maternal vaginal CMV shedding postnatally with congenital CMV infection will be explored by swabbing maternal vaginal fluid and conducting quantitative CMV PCR analysis. Newborns confirmed with congenital CMV and a control group of uninfected newborns will form a cohort to be followed up until 12 months of age monitoring for various neurological sequelae such as hearing loss, neurodevelopmental impairment, ocular damage, cerebral damage and seizures. A comparison of vaccine immune responses between cases of congenital CMV and the CMV uninfected infants to the primary series of vaccines in the National Expanded Programme on Immunisation will be compared. The contribution of CMV infection to neonatal death and stillbirths will be described by minimally invasive tissue sampling (MITS) for CMV on babies that die during the neonatal period and stillbirths.
To assess the efficacy of reduced duration prophylaxis followed by immuno-guided prophylaxis to prevent cytomegalovirus disease.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is the most common opportunistic viral pathogen in solid organ transplant receptors (SOTR). In Mexico, the experience using generic immunosuppressants have been demonstrated a wide variation in the pharmacokinetic parameters between generic and innovative formulation, resulting in a suboptimal absorption of the drug and reaching infratherapeutic trough levels in blood. In this study the investigators will compare the pharmacokinetic parameters of innovative and generic valganciclovir in renal transplant recipients.
HB-101 is a bivalent recombinant vaccine against human CMV infection. This is a randomized, placebo-controlled, phase 2 study to assess the safety, reactogenicity, immunogenicity, and efficacy of HB-101 in CMV-Seronegative patients receiving a kidney transplant from a CMV-Seropositive living donor and CMV-Seropositive patients.Patients enrolled should have a living donor kidney transplantation ideally planned between two to four months after the first injection of study drug (HB-101 or placebo).
The evidence to date indicates that educational strategies may be effective at reducing antenatal CMV infection, however these have not been tested in the UK. In phase 1 of the study, the investigators will co-design an educational intervention with pregnant women and families affected by congenital CMV with the aim of reducing the risk of acquisition of CMV in pregnancy. In phase 2 of the study, the investigators will use this educational intervention in a randomised controlled trial (RCT) as part of a feasibility study to generate the data required for the design of a future main RCT. Should the future main RCT show that the educational intervention is effective in reducing the risk of primary CMV infection in pregnancy, the intervention could be rolled out in the National Health Service (NHS). This would have significant benefits to patients and the NHS. No other single cause of congenital defects and long-term developmental disability currently provides greater opportunity for improved outcomes than the prevention of congenital CMV, therefore trials designed to test prevention strategies should be a research priority for the NHS.
This study evaluated the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of the cytomegalovirus (CMV) vaccine (V160) administered in a 2-dose or 3-dose regimen to healthy seronegative women 16 to 35 years of age. Participants received blinded V160 on Day 1, Month 2, and Month 6 (3-dose regimen), V160 on Day 1 and Month 6 and placebo at Month 2 (2-dose regimen), or placebo on Day 1, Month 2, and Month 6, and were followed to approximately Month 24. The primary hypothesis of the study was that administration of a 3-dose regimen of V160 will reduce the incidence of primary CMV infection compared to placebo.
This clinical study will assess the safety, reactogenicity and immunogenicity of mRNA-1647 and mRNA-1443 cytomegalovirus vaccines in healthy adults
