Filter by:This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of an individualized preventive strategy against CMV infection in CMV seropositive heart transplant patients based on the specific basal response of the lymphocytes againts CMV (ELISPOT Interferon-γ assay). In two thirds of the patients a preventive strategy will be carried out based on the result of the ELISPOT IFN-γ assay and in one third of the patients the standard of care strategy will be carried out (universal prophylaxis).
This clinical study will assess the safety and immunogenicity of 3 dose levels of mRNA-1647 cytomegalovirus vaccine in CMV-seronegative and CMV-seropositive healthy adults 18-40 years of age.
The primary objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of NPC-21 when administered prophylactically to cytomegalovirus (CMV) seronegative patients receiving a first kidney transplant from a CMV seropositive donor.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections is a severe infection in patients of rheumatic disease treated with corticosteroid and immunosuppressive agents. Ganciclovir is the main therapy in CMV infection, accompanied with diverse side effects, including neutropenia, anemia, disorder of renal function and so on, which are also common symptoms of rheumatic diseases. Additionally, prolonged antiviral treatment may delay recovery of virus, specific immune responses, resulting in an increasing of late-onset CMV disease. IL-2 is a pleotropic cytokine which can promote the proliferation and function of CD8+ T cells and NK cells through the combination with IL-2 receptor. Recently, several studies have revealed that low dose IL-2 is an effective and safe therapy for autoimmune disease. In systemic lupus erythematous patients, additionally, patients treated with low-dose IL-2 had lower incidence of infection with increased percentages of natural killer (NK) cells. In this prospective clinical trial, we propose to assess the effective and safety of low-dose IL-2 combined with ganciclovir in the treatment of CMV infection. Meanwhile, we will assess the immune response of after IL-2 treatment.
i2-D²EFT substudy is an observational cohort nested within the parent D²EFT study (NCT03017872). D²EFT goal is to compare the standard of care second-line antiretroviral therapy in people living with HIV whose first-line non nucleoside reverse transcriptase-based regimen failed, to two simpler regimens. Approximately 1,000 participants will be enrolled in D²EFT. Commencing a second-line ART is an important moment when the level of inflammation in participants may be elevated due to first-line ART failure; this level of inflammation should then decrease with the commencement of a new second-line treatment and would be expected to normalise by 48 weeks of second-line treatment, if successful. The investigators propose to study other factors which can influence the decrease of inflammation. The investigators hypothesise that co-infections may play a role in persistent inflammation. The key-infections of interest will be common frequent infections encounter throughout the world: Human Herpes virus 8, Epstein-Barr virus, Cytomegalovirus and Human papillomavirus, tuberculosis, malaria and other key opportunistic infections. Possible changes of level of inflammation (using the serum level of Interleukin 6) in approximately 200 participants of the D²EFT study will be investigated and measured. The hypothesis is that the presence of other infections than HIV may influence the level of inflammation in participants in therapeutic success.
This is a single cente, single arm, open-label, phase I study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of CMV-TCR-T cell immunotherapy in treating CMV virus infection after HSCT.
This study aims to evaluate the safety, efficacy and pharmacokinetics (PK) of Letermovir (LET) administered as prevention of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and disease in adult Japanese kidney transplant recipients.
The purpose of this study is to assess the level of CD4 and CD8 T cell activation in an observational cohort study of HIV-1 patients, virosuppressed on combined antiretroviral therapy (< 50 copies/ml) for at least 2 years and to focus on two factors that could participate in this activation: cytomegalovirus infection and auto-immune disorders.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a major cause of morbidity and mortality for recipients of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(HSCT). Recently, strategies based on immunotherapy adoptive cells (IAC) with anti-CMV Cytolitic T Lymphocytes (CMV-CTLs) has been incorporated to prevent or treat CMV after HSCT. The aim to study donor derived CMV-CTLs after haploidentical HSCT (HAPLO) as prophylaxis for CMV infection in transplant patients. CMV-CTLs will be administer at day 21 (+-7 days) post-HAPLO. CMV DNA levels with quantitative PCR will be weekly monitored.
CytoMegaloVirus (CMV) infection impairs evolution of Ulcerative Colitis (UC) leading to more severe and resistant to immunosuppressive therapies flare-up. CytoMegaloVirus (CMV) reactivation is assessed by the quantification of the CytoMegaloVirus (CMV) DeoxyriboNucleic Acid (DNA) load by real-time PCR (qPCR) in colonic biopsies; this assay is invasive and costly. The QuantiFERON-CytoMegaloVirus (QF-CMV) assay measures the immune response against CytoMegaloVirus (CMV) in a blood specimen.
