Brief summary

This 2 arm study will compare the efficacy of 100 days of Valcyte (900mg po daily) prophylaxis with that of no prophylaxis, under the condition of pre-emptive therapy of active CMV infection, in CMV positive renal transplant recipients. The influence of the two prevention concepts on the occurrence of direct and indirect effects of active CMV infections will be compared. The anticipated time on study treatment is 3 months-1 year, and the target sample size is 100-500 individuals.

Interventions

900 mg valganciclovir, taken orally once daily, adjusted to renal function starting within 14 days of transplantation until Day 100 after transplantation.

If plasma polymerase chain reaction (PCR) ≥ 400 CMV copies/millilitre, then 1800 mg valganciclovir per day adjusted to renal function for at least 14 days until the second negative PCR (below 400 copies/ml) followed by secondary prophylaxis for 28 days with 900 mg valganciclovir adjusted to renal function. If CMV disease or no response to valganciclovir treatment after 14 days (not falling viral load), then intravenous (IV) ganciclovir or additional appropriate therapy could have been administered according to the local site's standard, instead of valganciclovir.

DRUGGanciclovir

If CMV disease or no response to valganciclovir treatment after 14 days (not falling viral load), then intravenous (IV) ganciclovir or additional appropriate therapy could have been administered according to the local site's standard, instead of valganciclovir.

Pre-assignment details

342 participants were screened, and 43 participants were not randomized. Central randomization stratified by study center and by induction immunosuppression with polyclonal antibodies, such as such as antithymocyte globuline (ATG), anti-lymphocyte globulin (ALG), or Muromonab-CD3 was performed.

Participants by arm

ArmCount
Valganciclovir CMV Prophylaxis
Valganciclovir (prophylaxis): 900 mg valganciclovir, taken orally once daily, adjusted to renal function starting within 14 days of transplantation until Day 100 after transplantation.
148
Pre-emptive CMV Therapy
Valganciclovir (Pre-emptive CMV Therapy): If plasma polymerase chain reaction (PCR) ≥ 400 CMV copies/millilitre, then 1800 mg valganciclovir per day adjusted to renal function for at least 14 days until the second negative PCR (below 400 copies/ml) followed by secondary prophylaxis for 28 days with 900 mg valganciclovir adjusted to renal function. Ganciclovir: If CMV disease or no response to valganciclovir treatment after 14 days (not falling viral load), then intravenous (IV) ganciclovir or additional appropriate therapy could have been administered according to the local site's standard, instead of valganciclovir.

Number of Participants With CMV Disease After Month 24 and Every 12 Months up to Month 84

CMV disease comprises the two components of CMV syndrome as well as CMV tissue invasive disease. CMV syndrome was defined as viremia according to plasma PCR ≥ 400 copies/ml and at least one of the following signs: fever of ≥38 °C; new or increased malaise (malaise defined as normal activity reduced \>50%; cannot work or unable to care for self; leukopenia on 2 successive measurements separated by at least 24 hours thrombocytopenia; elevation of hepatic transaminases (alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) to at least 2 x upper limit of normal (ULN). CMV tissue invasive disease was defined as viremia according plasma PCR ≥ 400 copies/ml and clinical evidence of localized CMV infection (CMV inclusion cells or in situ detection of CMV antigen or deoxyribonucleic acid \[DNA\] by immunostaining or hybridization, respectively), cerebral spinal fluid \[CSF\]) and/or relevant symptoms or signs of organ dysfunction.

Number of Participants Without Active CMV Infection Who Had Lost Their Transplant up to Month 84

Time frame: From Month 24 to Month 84

Population: The intent-to-treat (ITT) population included all randomized participants. Only participants without active CMV infection were included in this analysis; 1 participant in each treatment arm had not developed active CMV infection until Month 72, and thus, they were only included in the number analyzed for results before that timepoint.
