Valganciclovir

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: This is a phase II trial with an initial safety lead-in evaluating the efficacy, safety, neurocognitive, and quality-of-life outcomes of anti-cytomegalovirus (CMV) therapy and standard-of-care (SOC) in patients with anti-human cytomegalovirus (HCMV)-reactivated brain metastases. Male and female patients, aged ≥18 years, who have metastatic breast cancer with progressive brain metastases and CMV vi...

Summary: The study investigators are interested in learning more about how drugs, that are given to children by their health care provider, act in the bodies of children and young adults in hopes to find the most safe and effective dose for children. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the PK of understudied drugs currently being administered to children per SOC as prescribed by their treati...

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: Patients with moderate or severe CMV disease less than 21 days old who have a maternal donor who has a CMV response to the peptivators will be screened. All patients will receive treatment with valganciclovir or ganciclovir. There is a safety run in with treatment with CMV CTLs in cohort 1 and if found to be safe, will proceed to cohort 2 for randomization to receive antiviral therapy with or with...

Summary: Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is the most common opportunistic infection in lung transplantation leading to direct and indirect effects that can result in life threatening complications. The risk of CMV infection is highest when the recipient of the transplant has never been in contact with CMV (negative immunity) and the donor had previous contact with CMV (positive immunity). This is called CM...

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 main aim of this study is to learn how safe maribavir is in Chinese adults who have undergone hematopoietic stem cell or organ transplantation and have a cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and how well they tolerate treatment with maribavir. Other aims are to see how effective maribavir is in treating CMV infection and getting rid of the symptoms, the recurrence rate of CMV infection after treatm...

Summary: The primary objective of the CLEAR-CMV trial is to evaluate the efficacy of letermovir therapy plus standard of care (SOC) antiviral compared to SOC plus placebo in achieving clearance of CMV viremia by week 3 in lung transplant recipients with active CMV infection.

Summary: Over half of women in the US who are breastfeeding their infants take prescription drugs. You are being asked to participate in this study because you are breastfeeding your infant and are currently taking, as part of your medical care, at least one of the drugs we are studying. We are interested in studying drugs commonly prescribed to women who are breastfeeding so we can learn more about the am...

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: Opportunistic CMV viremia (primary infection or reactivation) is usually managed by taking prophylactic medication for both adult and pediatric kidney transplant patients. Most hospitals prescribe valganciclovir for this purpose but valacyclovir has also been used. The most unfavorable side effect of valganciclovir is bone marrow suppression which can be troublesome for kidney transplant patients ...
