About this study

Official title: A Multicenter Prospective Observational Study to Evaluate Cytomegalovirus (CMV)-Specific Response Measured by QuantiFeron® and Overall Immunologic Response Measured by ImmuKnow® in Lung Transplant Patients With CMV-positive Serology (R+) Prior to Transplant and Its Involvement in the Development of CMV Infection

The purpose of this study is to determine the sensitivity and specificity of QuantiFeron® and ImmuKnow® in combination for early detection of patients who will develop CMV infection in lung transplant patients with CMV-positive serology (R+) prior to transplant.

Read the detailed description

The secondary objectives of the study are:

  • To evaluate Cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific immune response measured by QuantiFeron®.
  • To evaluate overall immune response measured by ImmuKnow®.
  • To study the course of QuantiFeron® and ImmuKnow®over the follow-up period.
  • To correlate levels of ImmuKnow® and QuantiFeron®.
  • To evaluate the relationship between levels and doses of immunosuppressants and their relationship to degree of overall immunosuppression (ImmuKnow®).
  • To evaluate the relationship between infections, immunological complications and degree of overall immunosuppression (ImmuKnow®).

What is being measured

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

  1. Quantification of interferon-γ produced by specific CD8+ (cluster of differentiation 8) T cells after ex-vivo stimulation with various CMV epitopes using the commercial assay QuantiFeron®- CMV

    Quantiferon® is assessed multiple times and it will be considered positive when first positive test is assessed.

    Measured: up to 12 months from transplant

  2. Measurement of overall immune response by determination of the activity of CD4+ (cluster of differentiation 4) T cells

    InmunKnow® is assessed multiple times and it will be considered positive when first positive test is assessed.

    Measured: up to 12 months from transplant

  3. Quantification of CMV viral replication in blood measured by PCR (polymerase chain reaction)

    PCR is assessed multiple times and it will be considered positive when first positive test is assessed.

    Measured: up to 12 months from transplant

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Measurement of immunosuppressive drugs: Blood levels of calcineurin inhibitors (tacrolimus or cyclosporine). Mycophenolate (or equivalent) dose and corticosteroid doses.

    Measured: up to 12 months from transplant

  2. Complete blood count (WBC count) and routine biochemistry

    Measured: up to 12 months from transplant

  3. Determination of glomerular filtration rate

    Measured: up to 12 months from transplant

  4. Course of graft function by measuring GFR (glomerular filtration rate)

    Measured: up to 12 months from transplant

  5. Complications since last visit: Infections, rejection episodes, chronic graft dysfunction, other complications

    Measured: up to 12 months from transplant

  6. CMV prophylaxis, drug and dosage. Serious Adverse events related or no related to the drug

    Measured: up to 12 months from transplant

  7. Follow-up loss/death (if it occurs)

    Measured: up to 12 months from transplant

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Cytomegalovirus Infections, run by Fundacio Catalana de Pneumologia at 7 sites in Spain.

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 2 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 Sep 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 7 sites in Spain. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Quantification of interferon-γ produced by specific CD8+ (cluster of differentiation 8) T cells after ex-vivo stimulation with various CMV epitopes using the commercial assay QuantiFeron®- CMV (time frame: up to 12 months from transplant). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 Sep 2016.
