Filter by:The main purpose of the extension phase of this study is to evaluate the longer-term immune persistence of mRNA-1647 vaccine administered to CMV-seronegative and CMV-seropositive adults who completed Study mRNA-1647-P202 (NCT04232280). For participants in the optional booster phase (BP), the main purpose is to evaluate the long-term immunogenicity and safety of the mRNA-1647 vaccine in both participants receiving a booster dose (BD) and those not receiving a BD, and to additionally evaluate the reactogenicity in participants receiving a BD.
Kidney transplant patients under an immunosuppressive treatment based on anti-calcineurin and mycophenolate-mofetil and induction therapy with rATG who suffer from early systemic viral replication by the CMV virus could benefit from the introduction of an i-mTor drug. (everolimus) to replace mycophenolate mofetil. This conversion would be effective in slowing down and controlling viral expansion without the need to initiate any prophylactic anti-viral therapy thanks to the activation of the CMV-specific cellular effector response or to an antiviral effect of i-Mtor itself.
CMV infection in transplantation remains the most frequent infectious complication causing increased morbidity and mortality. International recommendations advocate prevention of this infection by instituting direct antiviral treatment or monitoring viral replication by PCR with the start of curative antiviral treatment when the DNAemia is positive. The risk of CMV infection varies according to the serostatus of the donor (D) and recipient (R) at the time of transplantation. In the absence of prophylaxis, CMV infection occurs in 60-80% of D+R-, 50-60% of D+R+ and 25-50% of D-R+. The humoral anti-CMV response is represented by the production of antibodies to envelope proteins (gB and gH) and to molecules involved in viral attachment and entry into target cells. However, the majority of CMV-specific antibodies do not have antiviral neutralising activity. The investigators have identified a new player in the specific anti-CMV response expressing the Fc RIIIa receptor (CD16), that interacts with anti-CMV immunoglobulins (Ig): the Tgamma-delta V delta 2-negative lymphocyte (LTgdVd2neg). This lymphocyte subpopulation shows persistent expansion in the peripheral blood of kidney transplant patients with CMV infection. These cells express an effector-memory phenotype (CD45RA+/CD27-). This expansion is associated with resolution of infection in patients. The investigators have shown that CD16 is specifically and constitutively expressed on the surface of CMV-induced LTgdVd2neg in healthy volunteers and kidney transplant patients. The investigators have observed that one of the antiviral activities of anti-CMV IgG lies in its binding to the Fc RIIIa receptor (CD16) on the surface of LTgdVd2neg. The anti-CMV IgGs capturing virions thus activate CD16+ LTgdVd2neg with production of IFN interferon which in turn is responsible for inhibition of CMV viral multiplication. Anti-CMV IgG is a recommended therapeutic option, with a marketing authorisation for the prevention of CMV infection in kidney transplantation in Europe and a Temporary Authorisation for Use in France. Thus, R+ patients expressing a significant level of LTgdVd2neg CD16+ at D0 of transplantation could be protected against CMV, in the absence of direct antiviral treatment by the addition of anti-CMV Ig.
Nowadays, de novo everolimus regimen in renal transplant patients is considered for reduction of cyclosporine dose and it is mentioned that this regimen not only has similar safety and efficacy, but also could prevent Cytomegalovirus (CMV )infections. So, the aim of this study was comparison of safety and efficacy of de novo everolimus plus low dose of cyclosporine with standard dose of cyclosporine plus cellcept on CMV virus infections prevention in renal transplant patients.
This is an open label trial in which letermovir will be given as prophylaxis for the prevention of CMV infection and disease to all heart transplants who are at risk for cytomegalovirus. The study will compare a 30 patient prospective cohort to a retrospective cohort of 374 heart transplant recipients for the rates of neutropenia. In addition, the tolerability of letermovir will be assessed in this population.
This is an open-label, controlled study, conducted at US sites to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effectiveness of the study drug letermovir in adults with HIV and asymptomatic cytomegalovirus (CMV) who are on antiretroviral therapy (ART)-mediated suppression. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive either letermovir once daily or no anti-CMV treatment, for 48 weeks.
Haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) can expose patients to a transient but marked immunosuppression, during which viral infections are an important cause of morbidity and mortality. Adoptive transfer of virus-specific T cells is an attractive approach to restore protective T-cell immunity in patients with refractory viral infections after allogeneic HSCT. The aim of this Phase III trial is to confirm efficacy of this treatment in children and adults.
To estimate the prevalence of congenital CMV infection in Vietnamese neonates and relating morbidity within 2-year follow-up. Along with evaluating the predictive value of the presence and the level of CMV replication in the first trimester in a highly seropositive population
In the model of the perfused cotyledon, Letermovir crosses the placenta to reach appropriate fetal concentration. The cotyledon model can only be performed in the third trimester placenta. Although it is probable that the transplacental passage in the second trimester is in the same range than the one found in the 2th trimester, it needs to be confirmed. The study will be divided in 2 steps: step 1 will study the Letermovir transplacental transfer in the second trimester and step 2 will test the efficacy of letermovir to inhibit replication in infected fetuses. Main objective To measure the Letermovir transplacental transfer in the second trimester and its accumulation in the amniotic fluid and the placenta in the second trimester Primary end point: Concentrations reached in fetal blood relative to EC50 of letermovir.
