CMV-TCIP Directed Letermovir Prophylaxis After Allo-SCT

This is a phase 2, prospective cohort clinical trial evaluating the utilization of CMV T Cell Immunity Panel (CMV-TCIP) assay to guide the duration of primary CMV prophylaxis in CMV-seropositive recipients of allogeneic stem cell transplant or recipients receiving a stem cell graft from a CMV serology positive donor.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • ≥ 18 years of age on the day of signing informed consent.
  • Karnofsky performance >70%
  • Have documented seropositivity for CMV (either donor or recipient CMV IgG seropositivity) before AHCT.
  • Eligible for AHCT from an HLA-matched related, matched unrelated, mismatched unrelated or haploidentical donor using either bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cells.
  • Have undetectable CMV DNA from a plasma sample collected within 5 days prior to enrollment.
  • Must be within Day-10 thru Day+28 days of planned HSCT at the time of enrollment.
  • Be able to comply with medical recommendations or follow-up.
  • Has adequate organ functions determined by
  • Serum creatinine clearance ≥50 ml/min (calculated with Cockroft-Gault formula).
  • Bilirubin ≤1.5 mg/dl except for Gilbert's disease.
  • ALT or AST ≤200 IU/ml for adults.
  • Conjugated (direct) bilirubin < 2x upper limit of normal.
  • Left ventricular ejection fraction ≥40%.
  • Diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide (DLCO) ≥ 50% predicted corrected for hemoglobin.

Exclusion criteria

  • Has a history of CMV end-organ disease or CS-CMVi within 6 months prior to enrollment.
  • Received within 7 days prior to screening or plans to receive during the study any of the following:
  • Ganciclovir
  • Valganciclovir
  • Foscarnet
  • Acyclovir (> 3200 mg PO per day or > 25 mg/kg IV per day)
  • Valacyclovir (> 3000 mg/day)
  • Famciclovir (> 1500 mg/day)
  • Received within 30 days prior to screening or plans to receive during the study any of the following drugs: cidofovir, CMV hyper-immune globulin, any investigational CMV antiviral agent/biologic therapy.
  • Has suspected or known hypersensitivity to active or inactive ingredients of letermovir formulations.
  • Has an uncontrolled infection
  • Requires mechanical ventilation or is hemodynamically unstable

Treatment and study plan

Letermovir

Drug

Subjects will receive 14 weeks of letermovir prophylaxis at standard recommended dose follow by CMV-TCIP-directed extended prophylaxis.

CMV T Cell Immunity Panel (CMV-TCIP)

Device

Viracor CMV-TCIP assay to measure how a person's immune system responds to CMV. Viracor CMV-TCIP will be measured monthly, starting at week 14, until positive, then at week 30 and 52.

CMV DNA PCR

Diagnostic Test

Plasma level of CMV DNA PCR will be measured at enrollment and at least weekly through week 30, then at least every 2 weeks through week 52 of transplant if no GVHD or CMV reactivation.

Primary outcomes

  1. Cumulative incidence of clinically significant cytomegalovirus infection (CS-CMVi) at 52 weeks after transplant

    Time frame: 1 year after transplant

    Number of patients who develop CS-CMVi within 52 weeks after receiving a transplant

Secondary outcomes

  1. Cumulative incidence of CMV disease at 52 weeks after transplant

    Time frame: 1 year after transplant

    Number of patients who develop CMV disease within 52 weeks after receiving a transplant

  2. Cumulative incidence of CMV related death at 52 weeks

    Time frame: 1 year after transplant

    Number of patients who die from complications directly attributable to CMV infection within 52 weeks

  3. Overall Survival at 1 year after transplant

    Time frame: 1 year after transplant

    Number of patients who survive beyond 1 year after transplant

  4. Positive predictive value of CMV-TCIP assay after transplant in predicting CS-CMVi protection

    Time frame: 1 year after transplant

    Positive predictive value of CMV-TCIP assay at 14 weeks after transplant in predicting CS-CMVi protection through 1 year after transplant in patients who had letermovir discontinuation
