Leflunomide to Prevent Cytomegalovirus Reactivation in Stem Cell Transplant Patients
Use of Leflunomide as Primary Prophylaxis Against Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Reactivation in Haploidentical Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (HIT) - Single, Arm, Phase 2 Clinical Trial
Patients undergoing half-matched hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are at high risk of viral reactivation after bone marrow transplantation (BMT). The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether leflunomide can prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation in these patients and to assess its safety.
The main questions it aims to answer are -
- Does leflunomide prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) related organ damage?
- Does leflunomide prevent a rise in cytomegalovirus (CMV) copy number to more than 2000 copies/ml?
- Does leflunomide prevent the need to start pre-emptive therapy for cytomegalovirus (CMV)?
- Is it safe to use in bone marrow transplant ( BMT) patients?
- Does leflunomide prevent other viral reactivations - like Adeno virus and BK virus?
- Does leflunomide affect the risk of acute graft-versus-host disease ( acute GVHD) after bone marrow transplant (BMT)?
What medicine will the patients receive? Patients in study shall receive loading dose of Tab. Leflunomide 100 mg daily for 3 days followed by 20 mg daily orally. Leflunomide will be given till day +180 post transplant or till patient is on immunosuppressant medicines.

Szczegółowy opis
Introduction :While pre-emptive medications have lowered the frequency of cytomegalovirus (CMV) illness after HSCT, CMV reactivation remains associated with higher mortality. Haploidentical transplant (haplo-HSCT) are high risk transplants, which have increased risk of viral reactivations. Current antiviral treatments, such as ganciclovir, have serious adverse effects and are limited in their use, whereas letermovir is expensive and unavailable in India.
Leflunomide, a medicine, which is used in Rheumatoid arthritis, is a possible alternative due to its antiviral effects and low cost. It may be beneficial at preventing cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation, particularly in patients with low viral levels. Furthermore, leflunomide has demonstrated efficacy against BK virus and other DNA viruses, making it a possible multifaceted preventive treatment for high-risk haplo-identical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) recipients.
Hypothesis Leflunomide is effective in decreasing clinically significant CMV(cytomegalovirus) infection after haplo-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT)
Target population Patients ≥18 years of age who are undergoing haplo-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) for any malignancy at Tata Memorial centre ACTREC, Mumbai
Aims:
To evaluate efficacy of leflunomide as a prophylactic agent against cytomegalovirus (CMV)reactivation in Haplo-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).
Objectives -
Primary objective To determine the rate of clinically significant CMV infection on prophylactic leflunomide in haplo-HSCT patients till day+180 post HSCT
Secondary objective
- To evaluate the safety of post-transplant leflunomide using CTCAE 5.0 grading.
- To evaluate the incidence of clinically significant BK virus reactivation in peripheral blood and urine till day+180. Clinically significant BK virus reactivation will be defined as per ECIL-6 guidelines as more than 10^7 copies (7 log10 gEq/mL) in urine and 10^3 copies (1000 gEq/mL) in blood will be considered significant thresholds to define BK virus re- activation
- To evaluate the incidence of grade III - IV acute GVHD.
Study schema - Single-arm, Phase 2, prospective, interventional study
Administration of study treatment Once neutrophil engraftment has occurred i.e., ANC≥500/mm (on or before day-28), all patients in study shall receive loading dose of Tab. Leflunomide 100 mg daily for 3 days followed by 20 mg daily orally. Leflunomide will be given till day +180 post haplo-HSCT or till patient is on systemic immunosuppression
Timing of dose administration Study therapy should be administered/taken at the same time each day. Tablets are to be swallowed whole (i.e., no crushing or chewing the tablet is allowed). Study therapy may be administered with or without food. If a subject misses a dose, the missed dose should be given as soon as possible during the same day. If more than 18 hours have gone by after the regular dosing time, then the missed dose should be skipped and the normal dosing schedule should be resumed. The next dose should not be doubled in order to "make up" what has been missed.
Investigations During Treatment Monitoring: Weekly cytomegalovirus (CMV) PCR in blood, bi-weekly BK virus PCR in blood and urine, and additional tests as clinically indicated.
