About this trial
This is a phase 2, prospective cohort clinical trial evaluating the utilization of CMV T Cell Immunity Panel (CMV-TCIP) assay to guide the duration of primary CMV prophylaxis in CMV-seropositive recipients of allogeneic stem cell transplant or recipients receiving a stem cell graft from a CMV serology positive donor.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
≥ 18 years of age on the day of signing informed consent.
Karnofsky performance >70%
Have documented seropositivity for CMV (either donor or recipient CMV IgG seropositivity) before AHCT.
Eligible for AHCT from an HLA-matched related, matched unrelated, mismatched unrelated or haploidentical donor using either bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells.
Disqualifiers
Has a history of CMV end-organ disease or CS-CMVi within 6 months prior to enrollment.
Ganciclovir
Valganciclovir
Foscarnet
Trial design
Single group
Treatments tested in this trial
Letermovir
DrugSubjects will receive 14 weeks of letermovir prophylaxis at standard recommended dose follow by CMV-TCIP-directed extended prophylaxis.
CMV T Cell Immunity Panel (CMV-TCIP)
DeviceViracor CMV-TCIP assay to measure how a person's immune system responds to CMV. Viracor CMV-TCIP will be measured monthly, starting at week 14, until positive, then at week 30 and 52.
CMV DNA PCR
Diagnostic testPlasma level of CMV DNA PCR will be measured at enrollment and at least weekly through week 30, then at least every 2 weeks through week 52 of transplant if no GVHD or CMV reactivation.
Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Cumulative incidence of clinically significant cytomegalovirus infection (CS-CMVi) at 52 weeks after transplant
Number of patients who develop CS-CMVi within 52 weeks after receiving a transplant
Secondary outcomes
Cumulative incidence of CMV disease at 52 weeks after transplant
Number of patients who develop CMV disease within 52 weeks after receiving a transplant
Cumulative incidence of CMV related death at 52 weeks
Number of patients who die from complications directly attributable to CMV infection within 52 weeks
Overall Survival at 1 year after transplant
Number of patients who survive beyond 1 year after transplant
Positive predictive value of CMV-TCIP assay after transplant in predicting CS-CMVi protection
Positive predictive value of CMV-TCIP assay at 14 weeks after transplant in predicting CS-CMVi protection through 1 year after transplant in patients who had letermovir discontinuation
