Summary: This is a Phase 1 single-arm open-label study of letermovir in neonates with symptomatic congenital Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease. There will be two groups enrolled. Group 1 will be comprised of 4 subjects. Following documentation study inclusion and signing of informed consent, Group 1 subjects will receive one dose of oral letermovir (Study Day 0), using the dose bands. A full pharmacokinetics (...

Summary: the existing anti-CMV drugs mainly include valganciclovir, ganciclovir and foscarnet sodium, all of which act on DNA polymerase (pUL54), making them prone to cross resistance. DNA synthesis in normal cell is also catalyzed by DNA polymerase, which can also inhibit normal cell production, especially in metabolically active bone marrow cells, leading to bone marrow suppression. In addition, these dr...

Summary: This study is being conducted at seven major children's hospitals in Australia and New Zealand to test a new approach for treating a virus, called cytomegalovirus in children with weakened immune systems. The researchers want to find out if using a web app to customise the dose of a medication called ganciclovir is better at clearing the virus over a six-week period compared to the standard method...

Summary: Almost 90 out of 100 people carry herpes simplex viruses (HSV). Once a person has been infected with the herpes viruses, he or she can't get rid of them for the rest of her/his life. For the most part, the viruses are in a dormant state. Only when the immune system is weakened, for example in the case of a serious illness or stress, are the viruses reactivated. They then mainly cause cold sores, w...

Background: \- KSHV inflammatory cytokine syndrome (KICS) is a newly recognized disease caused by Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpesvirus (KSHV). This virus can cause cancer. People with KICS can have severe symptoms. They include fever, weight loss, and fluid in the legs or abdomen. People with KICS may also be at risk of getting other cancers associated with KSHV. These cancers include Kaposi sarcoma and lymp...

Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and the tolerance of letermovir as part of dual antiviral therapy (in association with valganciclovir) in renal transplant recipients with CMV DNAemia, requiring valganciclovir treatment per investigator's judgment.

Summary: This study is a randomized, open-label, active comparator-controlled, dose-ranging trial of the efficacy and safety of IV artesunate in combination with IV GCV or oral VGCV and SOC treatment compared to GCV or VGCV monotherapy and SOC treatment in SOT recipients with clinically significant CMV infection.

Summary: To learn if the combination of pirtobrutinib (also called LOXO-305), venetoclax, and obinutuzumab is safe and effective when given to patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) or Richter transformation (RT) who have not previously received treatment.

Summary: This study is being done to compare the effectiveness of de novo Letermovir versus valganciclovir in preventing the development of cytomegalovirus viremia or symptomatic disease in African American kidney transplant recipients within the first year after transplantation. There are two arms in the study: Arm 1: Prophylaxis: This group includes freshly transplanted high risk (CMV D+/R-) African Amer...

Summary: This is a prospective, randomized multicenter trial of preemptive therapy (PET) vs. antiviral prophylaxis (AP) for prevention of cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease in adult D+R- kidney transplant recipients (KTR). Patients meeting study eligibility criteria and who have provided informed consent will be randomized (1:1) within 7 days of transplant to receive, in an open label design, either AP with val...

Summary: Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye disease which causes people to lose their sharp central vision over time. Aging damages the macula, which is in the middle of the retina - the light-sensitive part at the back of the eye. There are 2 types of AMD - wet AMD and dry AMD. The advanced stage of dry AMD causes vision loss. This is known as geographic atrophy. AMD makes everyday tasks lik...

Summary: The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of letermovir with valganciclovir for prevention of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) viremia in moderate to high risk serostatus heart transplant recipients.
