Filter by: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.
Herpes simplex virus, cytomegalovirus and varicella zoster virus infection are purported to play a pivotal role in morbidity and mortality in burns. Thus far, there is no existing systematic review (Level of Evidence III or higher) describing the unique role as well as concurrent infections of these viruses in burns. The aim of this review is to point out the clinical differences between these human herpes virus subtypes, to outline established therapy approaches, and to provide evidence for virus related morbidity and mortality in burns.
This study aims to validate whether Lophius Biosciences Kit T-Track® CMV is suitable to assess the functionality of CMV-specific cell-mediated immunity (CMI) and to determine a protective cut-off value for CMV reactivations/disease in kidney transplant recipients. Lophius kit T-Track® CMV represents a highly standardized and sensitive diagnostic tool to assess the functionality of a network of clinically relevant CMV-reactive effector cells. It is based on the stimulation of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) with urea-formulated immunodominant CMV proteins, pp65 and IE-1, and the subsequent quantification of CMV-specific CMI (spot forming colonies) using a highly sensitive IFN-γ ELISpot.
The disparity between supply and demand for organs has stimulated the development of strategies to increase the availability of kidney grafts. Such strategy involves the use of kidneys with expanded donor criteria (EDC). This is a study initiated by the investigator, open, prospective, randomized, single center designed to compare the safety and efficacy of two immunosuppressive regimens based on thymoglobulin, tacrolimus and everolimus versus thymoglobulin, tacrolimus and mycophenolate sodium in renal transplant recipients with donor criteria expanded.
The purpose of this study is to see how well transfusions of T-cells work in treating CMV. T-cells are a type of white blood cell that helps protect the body from infection. A transfusion is the process by which blood from one person is transferred to the blood of another. In this case, the T-cells are made from the blood of donors who are immune to CMV. The T-cells are then grown and taught to attack the CMV virus in a lab.
The purpose of this research study is to test the safety and tolerability of four new investigational Cytomegalovirus (CMV) vaccines (Towne-Toledo 1, 2, 3, 4) in healthy male volunteers who are CMV negative. CMV is a common virus, infecting 50-80% of adults in the United States by the age of twenty-one. CMV does not usually cause illness in adults or children. However, CMV can be a cause of deafness and mental retardation in a child if a mother is infected during pregnancy. It also can be a serious illness in patients with impaired immunity (decreased ability to fight infection).
This study will look at the feasibility and acceptability of testing newborn babies who are referred after their newborn hearing screen for an infection called congenital Cytomegalovirus (cCMV). Around 1 in every 100 to 200 babies is born with this virus, and although most remain well it causes 1 in 5 cases of childhood deafness. Knowing that a baby is infected shortly after birth could have significant benefit since a treatment is now available, but screening programs need to be feasible and acceptable. This study aims to evaluate targeted screening for cCMV by taking samples (saliva and urine) from babies who do not pass their newborn hearing screening. The investigators want to see if we can find a quick, reliable and parentally acceptable way to screen babies who fail their hearing test for this virus.
The purpose of this study is to determine the seroprevalence of Hepatitis A Virus (HAV), Varicella-Zoster virus (VZV), Cytomegalovirus (CMV), Herpes Simplex (HSV) and Bordetella pertussis (BP)infections in Mexico.
The investigators aim is to determine the incidence of cytomegalovirus resistance to antivirals in a cohort study. The patients are included at their first CMV active infection and are followed during two years thereafter. When criteria for suspected resistance are meet, blood and urine samples are collected for virus isolation and further resistance phenotype, and for resistance genotype determination. Results are compared with baseline samples. Clinical information such as treatment, immunosuppressive regimen and clinical evolution will be collected. Through this study, the investigators aim to organize a national network for the detection and identification of CMV resistant strains that will be useful when new therapeutics will be available.
Direct DNA amplification, viral isolation and specific antibody measurement in saliva 1. From children in day care centers (samples collection will take place during a single week) 2. From children coming at the emergency department of our hospital during a three months period. Sample collection will be done by the pediatrician the nurse, or one of the authorized investigators of the study.
