About this trial

This phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best dose of multi-antigen cytomegalovirus (CMV)-modified vaccinia ankara vaccine and to see how well it works in treating pediatric patients with positive cytomegalovirus who are undergoing donor stem cell transplant. Multi-antigen CMV-modified vaccinia ankara vaccine may help people resist CMV life-threatening complications.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Optimal dose (Phase I)

Time frame
Up to 1 year
2

Incidence of adverse events (Phase I)

Adverse events will be characterized using the descriptions and grading scales according to Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.0.

Time frame
Up to 1 year
3

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) events (reactivation >= 1250 IU/mL), or viremia treated by anti-viral therapy, or detection of CMV by histology (Phase II)

Will be assessed with exact 90% confidence bounds.

Time frame
Prior to day 100 post-hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) or viremia treated by anti-viral therapy, or detection of CMV by histology
4

Non-relapse mortality

Will be compared to historical controls at the final analysis, and a 90% lower confidence bound on the difference in 12-month event free survival will be produced.

Time frame
At 100 days post-HCT

Secondary outcomes

1

Time-to viremia

Time frame
Number of days from transplant to the date of > 1250 IU/mL, assessed up to 1 year
2

Duration of viremia

Time frame
Up to 1 year
3

Incidence of late CMV viremia

Time frame
> 100 and =< 365 days post-HCT
4

Use of antiviral drugs (triggered by rising CMV viremia or viremia >= 3,750 IU/ml)

Time frame
Up to 1 year, rising CMV viremia or viremia >= 3,705
