Randomized Clinical Trial, Open, Multicenter Parallel, no Suspension Inferiority Prophylactic Treatment With Valganciclovir in Kidney Transplant CMV-seropositive Cellular Immunity to Develop CD8 + CMV-specific Treatment After Induction Thymoglobulin.

January 29, 2021 updated by: Maimónides Biomedical Research Institute of Córdoba

Hypothesis: Valganciclovir prophylaxis can be discontinued before 3 months in CMV-seropositive renal transplant recipients receiving induction thymoglobulin when developing CMV-specific cellular immunity after transplantation.

Objective Meet the efficacy and safety of valganciclovir prophylaxis suspend in CMV-seropositive kidney transplant recipients with CD8 + cellular immunity CMV-specific transplant, receiving Thymoglobulin induction and maintain cellular immunity-specific CD8 + CMV after transplantation.

Design: noninferiority clinical trial (study A) in CMV-seropositive kidney transplant recipients with CMV-specific cellular immunity pretransplant (Quantiferon reactive CMV) received induction with thymoglobulin

Patients meeting inclusion criteria will be randomized to:

  • Control Arm: valganciclovir prophylaxis until day +90 as recommended by the International Consensus document of the TTS (Transplantation 2013:96:333-360).
  • Experimental arm: prophylaxis with valganciclovir and determination of CMV-specific cellular immunity day +15, +30, +45 and +60. Prophylaxis was discontinued when the patient developed CMV-specific cellular immunity. Patients who did not develop CMV specific immunity continue prophylaxis until day +90.

Analysis: The incidence of CMV disease according to the strategy used was calculated using Kaplan-Meier curves that were compared using the log-rank test.

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.

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.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: New profilaxis
Prophylaxis is discontinued when the patient developed CMV-specific cellular immunity.
Drug: New profilaxis
Primary endpoint: incidence of CMV disease at 12 months after transplantation. Study the predictive value of the assay of CD8 + T cell immunity specific for defined CMV-patients in which they can stop prophylaxis. The definition of CMV disease was based on those recommended by the American Society of Trasnplantation for use in clinical trials (Humar A. Am J Transplant 2006; 6:262-74) criteria.
Active Comparator: Profilaxis recommended by TTS
Valganciclovir prophylaxis until day +90 as recommended by the International Consensus document of the TTS.
Drug: Profilaxis recommended
Secondary end points: percentage of patients developing T cell immunity in CMV-specific transplantation after receiving timoglubulina induction and valganciclovir prophylaxis. T cell development inmnunidad CD8 + CMV-specific is defined as production of γ> 0.2 interferon by CD8 + T cells stimulated by CMV-specific CMV antigens (QF reagent).

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
Incidence of CMV disease at 12 months after transplantation
Time Frame: 12 months
Incidence of CMV disease at 12 months after transplantation. Study the predictive value of the assay of CD8 + T cell immunity specific for defined CMV-patients in which they can stop prophylaxis. The definition of CMV disease was based on those recommended by the American Society of Trasnplantation criteria for use in clinical trials
12 months

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.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of patients who recover CMV-specific CD8+ T-cell immunity in the posttransplantation period after receiving thymoglobulin induction therapy and valganciclovir prophylaxis
Time Frame: 12 months
CMV-specific CD8+ T-cell immunity will be defined using the QF-CMV technique as IFN-γ production equal to or greater than 0.2 IU/mL following stimulation of CD8+ T cells by CMV antigens (QF-CMV "Reactive").CMV replication was considered asymptomatic when it was not accompanied by CMV disease (CMV syndrome or CMV disease)
12 months
Incidence of CMV replication
Time Frame: 12 months
CMV replication was defined as >1500 IU/mL in plasma or >5000 IU/mL in whole blood. CMV replication was considered asymptomatic when it was not accompanied by CMV disease (CMV syndrome or CMV disease)
12 months
