Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Incidence of CMV infection
The proportion of patients with clinically significant CMV infection through week 14 after enrollment or until prednisone dose is reduced below 0.2 mg / kg / day, whichever comes earlier.
14 weeks
Study Arms (1)
Letermovir
EXPERIMENTALPatients meeting the inclusion criteria will receive letermovir 480 mg per day. Patients receiving concomitant cyclosporine will receive 240 mg of letermovir. Letermovir will be given during 14 weeks or until prednisone dose is reduced below 0.2 mg / kg / day, whichever comes earlier.
Interventions
Patients meeting the inclusion criteria will receive letermovir 480 mg per day. Patients receiving concomitant cyclosporine will receive 240 mg of letermovir. Letermovir will be given during 14 weeks or until prednisone dose is reduced below 0.2 mg / kg / day, whichever comes earlier.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Adult patients
- After allogeneic transplantation
- Seropositive for CMV
- Who already received letermovir prophylaxis until day 100 without CMV reactivation
- Beyond day 100 after transplantation at enrollment
- With acute or chronic GVHD
- Daily prednisone dose ≥ 0.5 mg/kg (or equivalent dose of another glucocorticoid) at enrollment.
- Negative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for CMV at enrollment
- Provided informed consent
You may not qualify if:
- Seronegative for CMV
- Positive PCR for CMV at enrollment
- Patient has previously had CMV reactivation under letermovir.
