247 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The primary purpose of this phase I/II study is to evaluate whether partially matched, ≥2/6 HLA-matched, viral specific T cells have efficacy against adenovirus, CMV, and EBV, in subjects who have previously received any type of allogeneic HCT or solid organ transplant (SOT), or have compromised immunity. Reconstitution of anti-viral immunity by donor-derived cytotoxic T lymphocytes has shown promise in preventing and treating infections with adenovirus, CMV, and EBV. However, the weeks taken to prepare patient-specific products, and cost associated with products that may not be used limits their value. In this trial, we will evaluate viral specific T cells generated by gamma capture technology. Eligible patients will include HCT and/or SOT recipients, and/or patients with compromised immunity who have adenovirus, CMV, or EBV infection or refractory viremia that is persistent despite standard therapy. Infusion of the cellular product will be assessed for safety and efficacy.
The goal of STAGE I of the CMV TransmIT Study is to determine the prevalence of CMV shedding in children up to and including 36 months of age in large group childcare centers and in staff who regularly work at the center. Participants will complete a health survey and provide one saliva sample for CMV PCR testing. In addition, infrastructure for the study will be developed (e.g. community engagement to build the network of centers, data pipelines, digital platform, sampling workflows) and participant sample collection at home will be piloted. These activities will inform the design of STAGE II.
This is a multi-center clinical trial in Cytomegalovirus (CMV) seronegative prospective liver transplant recipients to determine the efficacy of two doses of Cytomegalovirus-Modified Vaccinia Ankara (CMV-MVA) Triplex CMV vaccine pre-transplant. The primary objective is to assess the effect of pre-transplant (Tx) Triplex vaccination on duration of CMV antiviral therapy (AVT) within the first 100 days post-Tx in CMV seropositive donor (D+) and seronegative (R-) (D+R-) liver transplant recipients (LTxRs). A protocol-mandated preemptive therapy (PET) will be used for CMV disease prevention in D+R- LTxRs.
The investigators want to learn if CMV- and ADV-specific T-cells (cells that fight infections) isolated (selected) from a donor using an automated medical device can be a safe treatment for treating patients with CMV, and ADV after transplant.This study will test the effects and safety of giving VSTs produced here at St. Jude in treating the participant's infection. Primary objective To determine the efficacy of VSTs to achieve a ≥1 log10 reduction in CMV and/or ADV viral load in the peripheral blood 4 weeks after VST infusion. When the initial viral load is \<1 log10 above the threshold of detection, the objective is to achieve a reduction to below the threshold of detection. Secondary objectives * Determine the safety of VSTs when used to treat CMV and/or ADV viremia post-HCT. * Determine the proportion of patients who achieve a negative viral load at 3 months post-infusion. * Assess the persistence of response for 6 months post-infusion.
The main purpose of study is to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of different dose levels of mRNA-1647 versus control in healthy cytomegalovirus (CMV)-seronegative and CMV-seropositive female and male participants 9 to 15 years of age. In addition, mRNA-1647 will be evaluated in female participants 16 to 25 years as a comparator cohort.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the safety, reactogenicity, and immunogenicity of the mRNA-1647 vaccine administered according to a 3-study injection schedule in healthy cytomegalovirus (CMV)-seronegative and CMV-seropositive Japanese adults 18 to 40 years of age in the United States.
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety, reactogenicity and immune response of the candidate CMV recombinant protein subunit (CMVsu) vaccine consisting of a combination of glycoproteins B (gB) and pentamer antigens adjuvanted, regardless of baseline CMV sero-status. This FTiH study will be conducted in healthy adults 18 to 50 years of age, in which the 4 dose levels of the vaccine will be administered in a step-wise dose escalation manner, based upon safety adjudication.
The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of mRNA 1647 vaccine in CMV-seronegative female participants and to evaluate the safety and reactogenicity of mRNA-1647 vaccine in all participants. The purpose of the Phase 3 extension sub study is to extend the observation period of the main study and to evaluate the longer-term immune persistence of mRNA-1647 vaccine administered to CMV-seronegative females who complete mRNA-1647-P301 main study and to assess for CMV seroconversion in CMV-seronegative participants who did not seroconvert during mRNA-1647-P301 main study. No interventional vaccine will be administered in the extension study.
The main purpose of the extension phase of this study is to evaluate the longer-term immune persistence of mRNA-1647 vaccine administered to CMV-seronegative and CMV-seropositive adults who completed Study mRNA-1647-P202 (NCT04232280). For participants in the optional booster phase (BP), the main purpose is to evaluate the long-term immunogenicity and safety of the mRNA-1647 vaccine in both participants receiving a booster dose (BD) and those not receiving a BD, and to additionally evaluate the reactogenicity in participants receiving a BD.
This was an open-label, controlled study, conducted at US sites to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effectiveness of the study drug letermovir in adults with HIV and asymptomatic cytomegalovirus (CMV) who were on antiretroviral therapy (ART)-mediated suppression. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either letermovir once daily or no anti-CMV treatment, for 48 weeks. The primary hypothesis of this study was that letermovir would cause a greater reduction in plasma soluble receptor for tumor necrosis factor type II (sTNFRII) levels than no anti-CMV treatment at weeks 46/48.
This clinical study will assess the safety and immunogenicity of 3 dose levels of mRNA-1647 cytomegalovirus vaccine in CMV-seronegative and CMV-seropositive healthy adults 18-40 years of age.
CMV cytotoxic T cells (CTLs) manufactured with the Miltenyi CliniMACS Prodigy Cytokine Capture System will be administered in children, adolescents and young adults (CAYA) with refractory cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection post Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation (AlloHSCT), with primary immunodeficiencies (PID) or post solid organ transplant.

Newly diagnosed glioblastoma (GBM) patients with complete or partial surgical resection who were CMV seropositive patients were eligible to enroll on this trial. Patients were enrolled following standard of care chemoradiation and prior to initiation of post-radiation cycles of temozolomide (TMZ) provided they met all eligibility criteria. All eligible patients received a tetanus-diphtheria (Td) vaccination. Patients enrolled on study were randomized to receive either standard TMZ or dose-intensified TMZ (excluding the safety cohort who only received standard TMZ). All patients received a pre-conditioning injection of tetanus on day 22 of the first post-radiation cycle of TMZ. The following day, patients received the first of 3 intradermal (i.d.) injections of the study drug cytomegalovirus peptide (PEP-CMV), which contained either a combination of Component A and Component B or Component A only depending upon when they enrolled on study. Vaccines #2 and #3 will be given at 2 week intervals. Patients who were O\[6\]-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) unmethylated received one adjuvant cycle of the TMZ regimen according to their assigned TMZ arm. Patients who were MGMT methylated or whose methylation status was inconclusive continue with up to 12 cycles of TMZ. After the completion of a patient's last TMZ cycle, vaccines continued every 4-6 weeks for a maximum number of 20 vaccines (unless tumor progression occurred). The study ended prematurely due to lack of funds. The preliminary results suggest that the vaccine may be capable of generating an immune response.
This was a randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, parallel-group, multicenter study of the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of oral brincidofovir (BCV) versus valganciclovir for the prevention of cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease in CMV-seropositive kidney transplant recipients who received antilymphocyte induction therapy.
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if giving cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) can help control CMV when it reactivates (becomes active again) in patients who receive an allogeneic stem cell transplant. Researchers also want to learn about the safety of giving CTLs to patients who have had a stem cell transplant.
The purpose of the study is to determine whether ASP0113 (a CMV deoxyribonucleic acid \[DNA\] vaccine) can be detected in plasma after intramuscular (IM) injections, and to determine whether CMV-seropositive healthy volunteers, CMV-seronegative healthy volunteers, CMV-seronegative dialysis patients mount an immune response to the CMV proteins produced by the vaccine after repeated ASP0113 IM injection.
The purpose of this study is to compare the safety profile in healthy adult volunteers of single or multiple intravenous administrations of TCN-202 as compared with placebo.
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a common infection with 60-90% of all adults worldwide having evidence of having the infection at sometime in their life. Patients who have undergone transplantation are at risk at developing CMV, especially those patients who do not have antibodies to CMV pre-transplant, but received an organ from a recipient who has antibodies to CMV. Usually the disease CMV causes is mild and sometimes patients are not even aware they have the infection without tests to detect the virus. CMV can less commonly cause serious infections that affect many parts of the body including the intestines, liver, or lungs. In rare cases CMV infection in transplant patients can cause death. All patients who receive a transplant are monitored for CMV infection. The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a way the investigators can determine in advance which patients are at greatest risk of CMV infection. Specifically, this study will analyze the immune system of transplant patients to determine if there are specific elements of the immune system that 1) helps protect the body against CMV infection, and 2) helps the body combat CMV once it is infected. Identifying these specific elements of the immune system could improve the physician's ability to monitor the SOT patients for CMV infection, and to help treat CMV in those patients that become infected.
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.
The purpose of this research study is to test the safety and tolerability of four new investigational Cytomegalovirus (CMV) vaccines (Towne-Toledo 1, 2, 3, 4) in healthy male volunteers who are CMV negative. CMV is a common virus, infecting 50-80% of adults in the United States by the age of twenty-one. CMV does not usually cause illness in adults or children. However, CMV can be a cause of deafness and mental retardation in a child if a mother is infected during pregnancy. It also can be a serious illness in patients with impaired immunity (decreased ability to fight infection).
The purpose of this research study is to investigate whether or not oral maribavir is safe and effective compared to oral ganciclovir for preventing CMV disease when administered for up to 14 weeks in patients who have had a liver transplant.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of burn injury on the human immune system with a focus on cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation and the immunologic correlates of latent viral reactivation. Subjects will be patients admitted to the North Carolina Jaycee Burn Center with burn injury. Blood samples will be collected over time and will be evaluated for CMV reactivation and immune cell phenotype.
AVX601, a bivalent alphavirus replicon vaccine expressing three CMV proteins (gB, pp65 and IE1) is a candidate vaccine against cytomegalovirus (CMV). The objectives of this Phase 1 study are to test the safety of the vaccine and the immune response to the vaccine in healthy volunteers who have not previously been infected with CMV. Volunteers will be assigned by randomization to receive either the vaccine or an inactive substance (placebo) by injections in each arm on three occasions over 6 months. The study will last 12 months and will have a total of 12 visits.
The purpose of this research study is to investigate whether or not maribavir is safe and effective for preventing CMV disease when taken by mouth for up to 12 weeks in patients who have had a stem cell transplant.
This study will evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a new vaccine, ALVAC-pp65, in boosting immunity to cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection in stem cell transplant donors. CMV is a member of the herpesvirus group, which includes herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2, varicella-zoster virus (which causes chickenpox), and Epstein-Barr virus (which causes infectious mononucleosis). Most adults are infected with CMV, but a healthy immune system keeps the virus in check, so that it does not cause harm. In people with a weakened immune system, such as transplant recipients, the virus can become reactivated. Medications for treating the infection may cause low blood counts and kidney damage, and, in some cases, the virus may cause death. The ALVAC-pp65 vaccine is intended to improve immunity against CMV in stem cell donors and thereby prevent its reactivation in recipients. It is made from a virus that ordinarily infects canaries. The virus is weakened so that it cannot infect the person who receives it, and it is modified to carry a copy of a CMV gene called pp65. This gene instructs cells to make CMV proteins that the vaccine recipient's immune system can produce antibodies to, thus conferring immunity to the disease. Persons 18 years of age or older who are scheduled to donate stem cells for a patient in an NIH protocol and who are not allergic to eggs, egg products, or other vaccines, may be eligible for this study. Candidates are screened with a medical history, physical examination, and blood tests. Participants receive three vaccinations one week apart beginning at least 3 weeks before the scheduled stem cell donation. They are observed for 30 minutes after each vaccination to look for any immediate side effects of the vaccine. Approximately 3 tablespoons of blood are drawn before each vaccination and 1 week after the last vaccination to evaluate vaccine safety. Blood samples are also collected at the screening evaluation, 3 weeks after the start of vaccination, and 3 months after the last vaccination to check for CMV immunity. Participants keep a diary, recording any reactions to the vaccine and any change in medications. They are contacted by telephone for follow-up 3 months after the last vaccination to report any additional symptoms.
This study will evaluate the role of certain gene variants on the onset and course of cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis-a severe infection affecting the eye-in patients with AIDS. Symptoms include blurry vision, eye pain, photophobia, floaters, eye redness, and impaired vision. Left untreated, it can cause blindness. The study is done in collaboration with investigators of the Longitudinal Studies of the Ocular Complications of AIDS (LSOCA) at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The purpose of the LSOCA study is to learn about how HIV and other infections associated with AIDS and their treatments affect people's eyes and sight. Blood samples previously collected from patients participating in the LSOCA study will be analyzed for gene variants. These differences will then be correlated with the patients' clinical data to try to discover the role of gene differences among patients on the following: susceptibility to CMV and related problems; development and course of CMV; and response to HAART (highly active antiretroviral treatment), particularly in CMV onset and pathology. The study will use blood samples and clinical information previously collected from patients during their participation in LSOCA. The materials will be identified with a numerical code linking the samples and clinical data. No additional procedures will be performed on patients for this study.
An increase prevalence of CMV, EBV and or HHV-6 in diseased tissue of inflammatory bowel disease would suggest a role for these viruses in the etiology and/or exacerbation of IBD, whereas their absence would preclude such association.
The purpose of this study is to determine if (recurrent) cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection of the mother results in pregnancy complications such as preterm delivery, severe preeclampsia, poor fetal growth, or stillbirth.
The purpose of this study is to determine if detection of cytomegalovirus (CMV) in amniotic fluid collected in the second trimester of pregnancy is associated with pregnancy complications such as preterm delivery or severe preeclampsia.
This study will investigate the clinical variables that may be used to predict who among the solid organ transplant recipients will develop cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease after completing antiviral prophylaxis.
