Study Details

Brief summary:

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.

2. Bilirubin ≤1.5 mg/dl except for Gilbert's disease.
3. ALT or AST ≤200 IU/ml for adults.
4. Conjugated (direct) bilirubin < 2x upper limit of normal.
5. Left ventricular ejection fraction ≥40%.
6. Diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) ≥ 50% predicted corrected for hemoglobin.

Exclusion Criteria:

4. Acyclovir (> 3200 mg PO per day or > 25 mg/kg IV per day)
5. Valacyclovir (> 3000 mg/day)
6. Famciclovir (> 1500 mg/day)
  • Received within 30 days prior to screening or plans to receive during the study any of the following drugs: cidofovir, CMV hyper-immune globulin, any investigational CMV antiviral agent/biologic therapy.
  • Has suspected or known hypersensitivity to active or inactive ingredients of letermovir formulations.
  • Has an uncontrolled infection
  • Requires mechanical ventilation or is hemodynamically unstable

Interventions and Outcome Measures

Arms

experimental: AHCT recipients

Interventions

Letermovir

Subjects 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)

Viracor 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

Plasma 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.

Primary outcome measure

  • Cumulative incidence of clinically significant cytomegalovirus infection (CS-CMVi) at 52 weeks after transplant [ Time Frame: 1 year after transplant ]
