Active clinical trials for "Cytomegalovirus Infections"

The purpose of this research study is to test the safety of and the body's response to an experimental cytomegalovirus (CMV) vaccine (called gB/MF59 vaccine). Participants will include approximately 400 healthy females, ages 12-17, recruited from adolescent clinics at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Baylor College of Medicine, University of Texas School of Public Health, Houston, and the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston. Participants will receive 3 doses of vaccine or placebo (saltwater) on a 0, 1, and 6 month schedule. Study procedures will include blood and urine samples. Participants will complete a diary recording temperatures and any side effects experienced. Subjects will be involved in study related procedures for up to 31 months.

To evaluate the capacity of intravenously administered cytomegalovirus (CMV)-immune globin (CMVIG) to immunize high risk premature infants against CMV infections.

The purpose of the trial was to determine if transfusion of allogeneic blood to HIV-1 infected persons led to immune activation and consequent induction of HIV-1 or /or Cytomegalovirus (CMV) replication, and whether this adversely affected clinical prognosis.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of letermovir (LET) versus placebo when cytomegalovirus (CMV) prophylaxis was extended from 100 days to 200 days post-transplant in CMV seropositive participants who received an allogenic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). It was hypothesized that LET is superior to placebo in the prevention of clinically-significant CMV infection when LET prophylaxis is extended from 100 to 200 days.

To assess the efficacy of reduced duration prophylaxis followed by immuno-guided prophylaxis to prevent cytomegalovirus disease.

Invasive infections with CMV and Adenovirus, not responding to virostatic treatment are treated with virusspecific donor derived or autologous virusspecific T-cells.

The purpose of this research study is to investigate whether or not maribavir is safe and effective for preventing CMV disease when taken by mouth for up to 12 weeks in patients who have had a stem cell transplant.

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections remain a significant problem following various types of transplants that are associated with strong immunosuppressive therapy. Maribavir is a new oral anti-CMV drug with a novel mechanism of action compared to currently available anti-CMV drugs. This study will test the safety and anti-CMV activity of different doses of maribavir when given as CMV prophylaxis following stem cell transplants.

Letermovir is approved for the primary prevention of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation and infection in hematopoietic stem cell transplant recipients. Letermovir may be beneficial in other clinical presentation where CMV reactivates and may alter clinical outcomes. Recently Chimeric Antigen Receptor (CAR) T cells have been used for the treatment of refractory acute leukemia and B cell lymphoma. Reactivation of chronic viral infections, in particular those belonging to the Herpesviridae family can therefore be observed following CAR-T cells treatment.According to first reports, Cytomegalovirus seems to be the main virus detected. Uncontrolled CMV reactivation leads to CMV disease requiring the use of antiviral drugs associated with either hematological toxicity (ganciclovir) or renal toxicity (foscarnet) and is usually associated with poor outcomes. In addition, CMV interplays with the immune system and decreases the immunosurveillance of tumor cells and facilitates the growth or reactivation of other opportunistic infections. Therefore, CMV reactivation could also impact the outcome of CART cells treatment by increasing the existing risk of opportunistic infections in CART cells recipients and thus by increasing morbidity, length stay or require intensive care. Imbalance of the immune system usually correlates with reactivation of persistent virus like Torquetenovirus (TTV), redondovirus or pegivirus found more frequently in Hematopoietic stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) patients or patients requiring intensive care. Whether reactivations of those persistent viruses are associated or precede CMV reactivation deserve careful investigation to identify as early as possible patients at high risk and who could benefit from antiviral preventive treatment. The objective of this trial is to determine the incidence of CMV reactivation within 3 months after infusion of CAR-T cells in CMV seropositive patients with refractory acute leukemia or B-cell lymphoma.

The goal of this observational study is to learn about cytomegalovirus disease epidemiology in pediatric and adult liver transplant recipients in China. The main questions it aims to answer are: The incidence of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infections (including clinical significant CMV reactivations and CMV Diseases) among children and adults Liver transplantation patients in China All-cause Mortality (Survival probability at 1 year) Incidence of Allograft Rejection. Number of subjects with allograft rejection Graft Loss. Incidence of graft loss (re-transplantation) Late-onset CMV Disease. Incidence of late-onset CMV disease (occurring after 100 days post-randomization) as adjudicated by end point committee Bacterial Infections. Incidence of bacterial opportunistic infections Major Fungal Infections. Opportunistic fungal infections Major Non-CMV Viral Infections. Incidence of non-CMV viral infections We will collect demographic data of participants. All recipients and donors underwent preoperative testing for CMV pp65 antigenemia, plasma CMV DNA, and serum CMV antibody. All the recipients were followed up in a liver transplant follow-up clinic twice weekly for a month after discharge from hospital. After that, patients were followed up weekly for 3 months, fortnightly for 6 months, and monthly for 12 months.
