Post-transplant human cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is a challenge in patients receiving allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplants (allo-HCT) due to severe immunosuppression. In the absence of treatment, CMV infection can progress to CMV end-organ disease, CMV infection also has potential consequences on the immune system such as graft-versus-host disease (GvHD) and bacterial, viral or fungal infections. And remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality in allo-HCT patients

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To investigate Cytotect®CP efficacy in decreasing the rate of CMV infection within 16 weeks in patients developing acute grade II-IV GVHD after allo-HCT.;Secondary Objective: -Evaluation of OS and NRM at 6 months -16-week CI of EBV, adenovirus and BK virus co-infections -16-week CI of CMV disease -16-week CI of CMV infection -Evaluation of adverse events -Improvement of immune reconstitution after Cytotect®CP;Primary end point(s): Rate of CMV infection within 16 weeks of Cytotect®CP therapy;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: As specified in the primary end point: Rate of CMV infection within 16 weeks of Cytotect®CP therapy | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): - Time from inclusion to death from any cause or death without relapse of the underlying disease within 6 months - Time from inclusion to EBV, adenovirus or BK virus co-infection = 16 weeks. - Time from inclusion to CMV infection = 16 weeks. - Time from inclusion to CMV disease = 16 weeks - Frequency of adverse events (grades 3 and 4) to be collected from 1st administration of Cytotect®CP to 1 month after the last administration of Cytotect®CP - Analysis of immune reconstitution under Cytotect®CP. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: As spicified for each end point. | — |
