Inclusion criteria
. Written informed consent must be obtained before any assessment was performed.
. Male and female patients at least 18 years of age.
. Patients weighed between 45 -120 kg to participate in the study, and had a body mass index (BMI) within the range of 18 - 34 kg/m2
. Scheduled to undergo allogeneic bone marrow, peripheral blood stem cell, or cord blood transplantation (transplant may be related or unrelated, T-cell depleted or non-T-cell depleted, myeloablative or non-myeloablative/reduced intensity, haploidentical) and began conditioning chemotherapy within 48 hours of planned dosing day.
. Patient seropositive for HCMV before transplantation; donor could be seropositive or seronegative for HCMV (donor positive/recipient or donor negative/recipient positive). Historical patient HCMV serology data collected within the last 12 months or local assays could be used to qualify the patient for enrollment.
. Able to communicate well with the investigator, to understand and comply with the requirements of the study.
Exclusion criteria
. Use of other investigational drugs at the time of enrollment, or within 5 half-lives of enrollment, or until the expected PD (pharmacodynamic) effect has returned to baseline, whichever is longer; or longer if required by local regulations.
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Number of Participants Who Require Preemptive HCMV Therapy
Timeframe: 98 days
2
Number of Participants With Adverse Events as a Measure of Safety and Tolerability
. History of hypersensitivity to any of the study drugs or to drugs of similar chemical classes.
. Karnofsky performance score \<50%.
. Had HCMV-related organ disease within 6 months prior to enrollment.
. Detectable HCMV infection (positive pp65 antigenemia or plasma HCMV DNA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assays prior to enrollment from samples collected within 14 days prior to enrollment. Local assays could be used to qualify the patient for enrollment.
. Received any of the following within 30 days prior to enrollment: ganciclovir, valganciclovir, foscarnet, cidofovir, acyclovir (\>25 mg/kg/day IV), valacyclovir (\>3 gm/day oral), famciclovir (\>1500 mg/day oral), HCMV immune globulin, immune globulin (\>500 mg/kg), or any other medication with anti-HCMV activity.
. Required mechanical ventilation within 7 days prior to enrollment.
. Received any vasopressors or other agents for hemodynamic support within 7 days prior to enrollment. These agents included but are not limited to epinephrine, metaraminol, norepinephrine, dopamine, vasopressin, phenylephrine, and dobutamine.
