What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Proportion of Patients Developing Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Disease Within 6 Months of Liver Transplantation Under Valcyte Prophylaxis

    Participants with clinical manifestation of CMV disease within 6 months after liver transplantation under Valcyte prophylaxis were evaluated.

    Measured: 6 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants With Any Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) or Adverse Events (AEs)

    An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant, temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not considered to be related to the medicinal product. An SAE is any untoward medical occurrence that, at any dose, results in death, is life threatening, requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, results in disability/incapacity, or results in a congenital anomaly/birth defect.

    Measured: 6 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cytomegalovirus Infections, run by Hoffmann-La Roche at 3 sites in Switzerland.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in Switzerland. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Feb 2016). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Proportion of Patients Developing Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Disease Within 6 Months of Liver Transplantation Under Valcyte Prophylaxis (time frame: 6 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
