Tests treatment safety and results for Cytomegalovirus Infections
Official title Efficacy of Extended Letermovir Prophylaxis to Prevent CMV Reactivation in High-Risk Chinese Adults Undergoing Allogeneic HSCT
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT06812598
What this study is testing
What is Letermovir (0-24w)?
Letermovir (0-24w) is an investigational medicine, given as an once-daily pill taken by mouth, being studied as a potential treatment for cytomegalovirus infections.
Plain-language explanation of the investigational treatment - it is being studied and is not an approved or proven therapy. The study team can confirm the details.
- What it's testing
- After allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT), recipients are immunocompromised and at increased risk of complications, including cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. International clinical guidelines for the management of CMV infection post-allo-HSCT recommend three main strategies: minimizing infection risk, prevention, and preemptive therapy.
