CMV Refractory and Resistant Infection in Solid Organ Transplant Recipients in Argentina

22. August 2026 aktualisiert von: EMILIO FELIPE HUAIER ARRIAZU, Hospital Italiano de Buenos Aires

Evaluation of Cytomegalovirus Refractoriness and Resistance in Solid Organ Transplantation in Argentina: A Multicenter Study

This study will describe the frequency and characteristics of refractory and resistant cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in adults who received a solid organ transplant in Argentina between 2017 and 2024. Researchers will review medical records from transplant centers across the country to identify episodes of CMV infection that did not respond adequately to standard antiviral treatment (refractory) or that showed genetic mutations associated with drug resistance. The study will describe the clinical features, treatments used, and outcomes (including graft function and survival) of patients with these episodes, in order to better understand how common this problem is and what factors are associated with it in the local population.

Studienübersicht

Detaillierte Beschreibung

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains one of the most frequent infections after solid organ transplantation (SOT), with important direct and indirect effects on graft and patient survival. While preventive strategies (prophylaxis and preemptive therapy) have reduced CMV-related disease and mortality, refractory and resistant CMV infection continues to be a major challenge, particularly in high-risk transplants (donor-positive/recipient-negative serostatus, and those receiving thymoglobulin induction). No epidemiological data on refractory or resistant CMV currently exist in Argentina.

This multicenter retrospective cohort study will include adult (≥18 years) solid organ transplant recipients from participating centers in Argentina who developed CMV infection within 18 months post-transplant, between January 1, 2017 and December 31, 2024. Cases meeting pre-specified operational criteria for refractory or resistant CMV infection will be identified from medical records. Refractory infection is defined as viral load that does not decrease or increases after two weeks of appropriate antiviral treatment; resistant infection is defined as refractory infection with documentation of at least one genetic mutation (UL97 and/or UL54) associated with antiviral resistance, confirmed through genotyping performed at the national reference laboratory (Instituto Malbrán).

Data will include demographic and transplant-related variables, immunosuppression regimen, virological monitoring, antiviral treatment lines and dosing, resistance genotyping results when available, and clinical outcomes including graft function, rejection episodes, and mortality at 90 days and one year. Data will be collected, coded, and stored in a centralized, de-identified database (REDCap) for descriptive and comparative statistical analysis.

Studienpopulation

Adult patients (≥18 years) who received a solid organ transplant (kidney, liver, heart, lung, pancreas, or combined transplant) at one of the participating centers in Argentina, and who developed cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection within 18 months following transplantation, during the period from January 1, 2017 to December 31, 2024. Cases are identified retrospectively from the transplant databases and medical records of each participating center.
