September 6, 2018 updated by: Medical University of South Carolina

Cytogam Administration in Abdominal Organ Transplant Recipients at High Risk for CMV Infection

The purpose of the study is to assess the incidence and severity of late Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease, defined as CMV syndrome or tissue invasive disease occurring between 100 and 200 days and after 200 days post-transplant in patients treated with valganciclovir per package insert guidelines for prophylaxis against CMV infection for 200 days post-transplant versus valganciclovir per package insert guidelines for 100 days post-transplant with Cytogam 100 mg/kg administered at 90 days, 120 days, and 180 days post-transplant.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

  3. Female patients of child bearing potential must have a negative urine or serum pregnancy test within the past 48 hours prior to receiving transplant or study inclusion.
  4. The patient has given written informed consent to participate in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Solid organ transplant recipient is CMV seropositive at the time of transplant.
  2. Recipient or donor is known to be seropositive for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
  3. Patient has uncontrolled concomitant infection or any other unstable medical condition that could interfere with the study objectives.
  4. Patients with thrombocytopenia (<25,000/mm3 ), with an absolute neutrophil count of < 1,000/mm3); and/or leucopoenia (< 2,000/mm3), or anemia (hemoglobin < 6 g/dL) prior to study inclusion.
  5. Patient is taking or has been taking an investigational drug in the 30 days prior to transplant.
  6. Patient has a known hypersensitivity to valganciclovir, tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin, CMV hyperimmune globulin, basiliximab or corticosteroids.
  7. Patients with severe diarrhea or other gastrointestinal disorders that might interfere with their ability to absorb oral medication.
  8. Patient is pregnant or lactating, where pregnancy is defined as the state of a female after conception and until the termination of gestation, confirmed by positive human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) laboratory test.
  9. Patient has any form of substance abuse, psychiatric disorder or a condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, may invalidate communication with the investigator.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Patients With Late CMV Disease
Time Frame: after 200 days post-transplant until 2 years post-transplant
Number of any clinically significant late CMV disease, defined as CMV syndrome or tissue-invasive disease occurring after the first 200 days post transplant
after 200 days post-transplant until 2 years post-transplant

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
