Participants will be in the study for about 6 months.', 'detailedDescription': 'Study Population: Patients over 18 years of age who have undergone kidney or simultaneous kidney/pancreas transplant and are high-risk CMV serostatus (D+/R-) at time of transplant who develop CMV viremia that necessitates treatment per our institutional protocol (enrolled in our CMV stewardship monitoring initiative) and demonstrate proven or presumptive lack of cell-mediated immunity, either by CMI testing or risk factor screening.\n\nPatients will be converted from treatment with ganciclovir derivatives to letermovir (480 mg tablet taken orally once daily) when the viral load via standard of care (SOC) weekly monitoring is \\< 500 IU/mL. This differs from SOC which only allows conversion to secondary prophylactic treatment after CMV is no longer detected on polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for 2 consecutive weeks. Thus, liberalization of conversion threshold will allow for reduced exposure to valganciclovir via reduced duration of therapy allowing relief of the myelosuppressive toxicity and creates an environment conducive to cell-mediated immunity (CMI).\n\nThe primary objective is to assess the efficacy of letermovir as secondary prophylaxis after treatment of CMV infection.\n\nThe secondary objective is to detect the development of cytomegalovirus-specific cell-mediated immunity as determined by a positive result using the Eurofins-Viracor CMV inSIGHTTM T Cell Immunity Testing per manufacturer specifications.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* undergone kidney or simultaneous kidney/pancreas transplant\n* high-risk CMV serostatus (D+/R-) at time of transplant\n* develop CMV viremia that necessitates treatment per our institutional protocol (enrolled in the CMV stewardship monitoring initiative)\n* demonstrate proven or presumptive lack of CMI, either by CMI testing or risk factor screening\n* able to provide informed consent to participate\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* contraindication to letermovir or its excipients\n* develop ganciclovir-resistant CMV infection\n* currently participating in any study involving the administration of a CMV vaccine or another CMV investigational agent\n* unable or unwilling, in the opinion of the Investigator, to comply with the protocol\n* pregnant or breastfeeding'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT06407232', 'briefTitle': 'Letermovir (Prevymis) for CMV in Kidney and Pancreas Transplant Recipients', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'University of Wisconsin, Madison'}, 'officialTitle': 'An Interventional Study of Letermovir for Secondary Prophylaxis After Treatment of Cytomegalovirus Infection in High Risk (D+/R-) Kidney and Kidney/Pancreas Transplant Recipients', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': '2024-0174'}, 'secondaryIdInfos': [{'id': 'A561000', 'type': 'OTHER', 'domain': 'UW Madison'}, {'id': 'Protocol Version 8/22/25', 'type': 'OTHER', 'domain': 'UW Madison'}, {'id': '235208', 'type': 'OTHER', 'domain': 'OnCore ID'}]}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Letermovir for CMV in Transplant Patients', 'description': 'Enrolled participants will be converted from treatment with ganciclovir derivatives to letermovir', 'interventionNames': ['Drug: Letermovir']}], 'interventions': [{'name': 'Letermovir', 'type': 'DRUG', 'otherNames': ['Prevymis'], 'description': '480 mg taken orally once daily, for 84 days', 'armGroupLabels': ['Letermovir for CMV in Transplant Patients']}]}, 'contactsLocationsModule': {'locations': [{'zip': '53792', 'city': 'Madison', 'state': 'Wisconsin', 'status': 'RECRUITING', 'country': 'United States', 'contacts': [{'name': 'Brad Astor, PhD', 'role': 'SUB_INVESTIGATOR'}, {'name': 'Christopher Saddler, MD', 'role': 'SUB_INVESTIGATOR'}, {'name': 'Jillian Descourouez, PharmD', 'role': 'SUB_INVESTIGATOR'}], 'facility': 'UW Hospital and Clinics', 'geoPoint': {'lat': 43.07305, 'lon': -89.40123}}], 'centralContacts': [{'name': 'Sandesh Parajuli, MBBS', 'role': 'CONTACT', 'email': 'sparajuli@medicine.wisc.edu', 'phone': '(608) 262-2122'}], 'overallOfficials': [{'name': 'Sandesh Parajuli, MBBS', 'role': 'PRINCIPAL_INVESTIGATOR', 'affiliation': 'University of Wisconsin, Madison'}]}, 'ipdSharingStatementModule': {'ipdSharing': 'NO'}, 'sponsorCollaboratorsModule': {'leadSponsor': {'name': 'University of Wisconsin, Madison', 'class': 'OTHER'}, 'collaborators': [{'name': 'Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC', 'class': 'INDUSTRY'}], 'responsibleParty': {'type': 'SPONSOR'}}}}
