Trial summary

Renal transplant candidates who have CMV-specific, CD8+ T-cells, are CMV-seropositive and carry HLA-A1 and/ or HLA- A2 alleles have a high probability to maintain this type of immunity during the three first months after the transplant, despite induction immunosuppressive therapy (thymoglobulin).

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: Patients who are candidates for renal transplant and who fulfil the clinical criteria established by the participating institutions to receive induction immunosuppressive therapy. Participating institutions may include centers from the Spanish Network for Research in Infectious Diseases (REIPI, Transplantation Program) as well as other centers outside the network.

Who may be able to join

  • Renal transplant recipients with CMV-positive serology.
  • Patients with pre-transplant, CMV-specific CD8+ T cell-mediated immunity, i.e. IFNγ levels ≥0.2 UI/mL (QF-CMV Reactive).
  • Adults over 18 years of age.
  • Patients receiving induction therapy with thymoglobulin (at least a cumulative dosage of 1mg/kg).
  • Patients receiving prophylaxis with valganciclovir (900 mg/day, adjusted to kidney function) until day 90 after transplant.
  • Patients who signed an informed consent

Who cannot join

  • Multivisceral transplantation, including pancreas-kidney transplantation.
  • HIV infected patients.
  • Patients who cannot comply with the monitoring protocol.

What is being measured

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

  1. CMV-specific, CD8+ T-cell immunity

    Percentage of patients with CMV-specific, CD8+ T-cell immunity at any of the established time points for monitorization. "CMV-specific, CD8+ T-cell immunity" will be defined as production of IFNγ ≥0.2 UI/mL (QF-CMV Reactive).

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Renal Transplant Infection, run by Maimónides Biomedical Research Institute of Córdoba at 1 site 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 6 inclusion and 3 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 20 Jul 2021. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

CMV-specific, CD8+ T-cell immunity (time frame: 18 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?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Jul 2021.
