Filter by: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.
CMV disease remains the most frequent infectious complication post-transplant and it is associated to high morbidity and even mortality. Global efforts from both transplant physicians and researchers in the field is needed to better characterize the host-virus interactions in the transplant setting, with the aim of decreasing the burden of disease and improve the well-being of patients. "HORUS" (Casting light on HOst-cytomegaloviRUs interaction in Solid organ transplantation) study is a European research project, funded by the European Commission (Horizon Europe) involving 16 partners in seven European countries (France, Spain, Czech Republic, Belgium, Switzerland, Germany and Italy) aiming to better characterize the host-CMV interactions in SOT recipients. The first aim of HORUS study will be to build a European cohort of SOT recipients including clinical characterization and the constitution of a biocollection, which is the aim of HORUS cohort, in order to perform biological, immunological, gene expression, viral kinetics and deep viral genome characterization in the global European HORUS project to improve our understanding of the development of a CMV immune response in the context of immunosuppression.
The aim of this study is to evaluate a universal cCMV screening programme in the first trimester of pregnancy in primary care in Catalonia (Spain).
The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of mRNA-1647 compared to placebo to prevent first clinically significant cytomegalovirus infection (CS-CMVi) in the period following cessation of CMV prophylactic treatment (for example, letermovir) on Day 100 postHCT through Month 9 postHCT.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The course and outcome of CMV infection are different clinically, and the mechanism of CMV infection after transplantation has not been clarified. Reconstitution of cellular immunity after HSCT is a critical determinant of the control of CMV infection. Investigators will dynamically monitor the CMV-specific cellular immune reconstitution after HSCT，and analyze the clinical factors and therapy strategies affecting recovery of CMV-specific immunity during 1 year after HSCT.
The goal of this observational study is to recognise the prevalnce of congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) and to follow up positive babies until 12 months The main questions it aims to answer are: pevalence of cCMV, cCMV clinicals outcomes during the first year of life. Participants will be screened with a salive swab for CMV DNA. Babies with positive results will be follow up for one year.
This is a research study to test the tolerability and clinical effectiveness of the study drug, Letermovir (LET), when used as secondary prophylaxis following treatment of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and disease in a solid organ transplant recipient. This study is an open label trial in which Letermovir will be prescribed to prevent the recurrence of CMV infection and disease in a solid organ transplant recipient following treatment of CMV infection or disease.
This phase Ib trial evaluates the safety and most effective dose of a cytomegalovirus (CMV) pp65 peptide-loaded alpha-type-1 polarized dendritic cell (CMV-alphaDC1) vaccination in patients who are undergoing an allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant. CMV is an opportunistic infection that can occur or reactivate after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant as a result of immunosuppression. The CMV-alphaDC1 vaccine is made of white blood cells that have been exposed to molecules called cytokines, as well as CMV proteins. Introducing these dendritic cells to the patients immune system may activate an immune response to CMV, protecting against infection or reactivation.
The main aim of the study is to assess the clinical outcomes of current CMV management across different regions of the world (Europe [EU] and Canada [CAN]). Data will be collected retrospectively from medical charts. No study medicines will be provided to participants in this study.
