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: 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...

Background: Herpes zoster (HZ) is an acute dermatological condition caused by the varicella-zoster virus. Its onset is characterized by severe pain, imposing significant physical and psychological burdens on patients. Acupuncture offers distinct advantages in treating acute herpes zoster and associated pain. However, the therapeutic efficacy of electroacupuncture for acute herpes zoster, its potential to redu...

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: The investigators' hypothesis is that maternal treatment with Letermovir will inhibit fetal CMV replication better than Valaciclovir in infected fetuses and lead to a higher proportion of negative CMV PCR at birth in neonatal blood collected in the first day of life or in cord blood in case of termination of pregnancy (TOP). The main objective is to demonstrate that Letermovir administered to wome...

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: Aplastic anemia (AA) is a bone marrow failure disorder characterized by pancytopenia and hypoplastic bone marrow caused by the decrease of hematopoietic stem cells. The pathogenesis of AA is complex and involves an abnormal hematopoietic microenvironment, hematopoietic stem cell/progenitor cell deficiencies and immunity disorders. Currently, the standard treatment for AA includes immunosuppressive...

Summary: Study to assess the safety and efficacy of HSV-tk (gene therapy), valacyclovir, radiotherapy and chemotherapy in recurrent glioblastoma multiforme.

Summary: Study to assess the safety and efficacy of HSV-tk (gene therapy), valacyclovir, radiotherapy and chemotherapy in newly diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) or anaplastic astrocytoma (AA).

Summary: Phase 2a, open-label, multi-center study evaluating biomarkers and biodistribution of aglatimagene besadenovec plus valacyclovir in men with localized, intermediate-risk prostate cancer who are planning to receive external beam radiation therapy (EBRT).
