The incidence, treatment and outcome of CMV interstitial pneumonia (CMV-IP) were reviewed in 139 consecutive allogeneic BMT patients undergoing extended CMV antigenemia surveillance and two different ganciclovir (GCV) strategies to control CMV infection. Nineteen cases of CMV-IP were reviewed, 16 of 63 patients (25.4%) who received early GCV treatment (ET) and three of 76 patients (3.9%) who received preemptive (PE) GCV therapy. In the ET group, the median time for occurrence of CMV-IP was 55 (range 36 to 311) days. Two patients had three episodes of CMV-IP recurrences after day +100. CMV-IP-related death occurred in two patients (15.4%). In the PE group, 41 patients received pre-emptive GCV therapy prompted by the appearance of positive antigenemia > or =2 cells. The median time for the occurrence of CMV-IP was 92 (range 48 to 197) days. Response to therapy was observed when GCV was introduced within 6 days of antigenemia positivity. The use of IVIg in association with GCV did not play a major role in response to therapy. The median time for occurrence of CMV-IP was delayed during PE strategy and the cost-effectiveness of CMV surveillance after day +100 should be investigated in this population. 相似文献

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection is an important cause of morbidity and mortality after allogeneic transplant. Interstitial pneumonia (IP) is the most common manifestation of CMV in BMT patients, with a 30-48% mortality rate despite adequate treatment. Most CMV infection occurs in the first 100 days. However, prolonged ganciclovir (GCV) prophylaxis has favored the occurrence of late CMV IP, probably by inhibition of the development of CMV-specific T cell lymphocyte responses. We report the case of a patient treated with an allogeneic BMT who received pre-emptive GCV until day +100 because of CMV-positive antigenemia. He developed a CMV IP on day +811 post BMT, which responded to treatment. We intend to alert clinicians that even at long-term (>1 year) post-BMT, CMV is a possible cause of IP in high-risk patients. 相似文献

Extended routine polymerase chain reaction surveillance and pre-emptive antiviral therapy for cytomegalovirus after allogeneic transplantation 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3

Pre-emptive treatment strategies based on sensitive screening for cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection up to day +100 after allogeneic transplantation have been shown to reduce the incidence of CMV disease during the period of surveillance. However, the use of ganciclovir has been associated with delays in immune reconstitution and an increased incidence of late CMV disease after day +100. In the present study, 81 patients undergoing allogeneic transplantation received polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-guided pre-emptive therapy based on detection of CMV DNA by PCR on 2 consecutive weeks up to day +180. Thirty-three of the 52 high-risk patients (CMV-seropositive donor or recipient) received a total of 45 treatment episodes up to day +100. Three of these patients (5.7%) developed CMV disease, with one fatality. Twelve of the surviving 44 high-risk patients (27%) required pre-emptive treatment between days +101 and +192, but none of these patients developed late CMV disease with a median follow-up of 402 d (range 117-952 d). Antiviral therapy was stopped after a single negative PCR result with no subsequent episodes of CMV disease while patients remained off antiviral treatment. As all initial episodes of CMV DNA detection occurred within 60 d of transplantation, it may be possible to discontinue monitoring beyond day +100 in patients who have remained CMV PCR negative before this. Thus, we have confirmed that PCR-guided pre-emptive therapy results in a low incidence of CMV disease before day +100 and that discontinuing treatment on the basis of viral clearance as determined by CMV PCR appears to be safe practice. In addition, we have observed no episodes of late CMV disease with an extension of surveillance to 26 weeks. 相似文献

To assess the impact of antiviral prophylaxis during the first 3 months after transplantation on the frequency, timing, and outcome of cytomegalovirus (CMV) pneumonia during the first year, 541 adult allogeneic blood and marrow transplant recipients were evaluated. Thirty-four patients (6.3%) developed 35 episodes of CMV pneumonia at a mean of 188 days after transplantation, with an associated mortality rate of 76%. Twenty-six episodes (74%) occurred late (after day 100). Of the patients with late CMV pneumonia almost all (92%) had chronic graft vs. host disease or had received T cell-depleted transplants. Fourteen late CMV pneumonias (54%) were associated with serious concurrent infections, and 100% of these episodes were fatal. In conclusion, although the frequency of CMV pneumonia in the early posttransplantation period may be substantially reduced by prophylaxis, CMV continues to be a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the late period. Some subsets of patients need more prolonged surveillance and prophylaxis and/or preemptive therapy. 相似文献

The prophylactic and pre-emptive use of ganciclovir (GCV) both reduce significantly the incidence of CMV disease after sibling BMT but it is unclear which of these strategies is best for volunteer unrelated donor (VUD) BMT patients. We reviewed 49 consecutive patients, who received a T-depleted VUD BMT (from March 1990 to March 1996) for the treatment of CML in chronic phase, and were CMV seropositive before transplant or had a CMV seropositive donor. Patients were conditioned with cyclophosphamide (120 mg/kg for 2 days) and total body irradiation (13.2-14.4 Gy). Prophylaxis for GVHD was cyclosporin A and methotrexate with ex vivo or in vivo T cell depletion. Twenty-seven patients received pre-emptive GCV if CMV infection was detected by short-term culture before day +120 post BMT. Twenty-two patients received prophylactic GCV from engraftment until day +120 post BMT. The probabilities of CMV infection and disease occurring by 1 year post-BMT were greater in the pre-emptive GCV group than in the prophylactic GCV group (73.8% and 64.0% vs 53.1% and 30.0%, respectively; P=0.04 and 0.07). The incidence of death from CMV disease was similar in both groups (3/12 (25%) vs 3/10 (30%), respectively) and there was no difference in 1 year survival (55.6% vs 54.2%, respectively). New strategies are urgently required for the prevention of CMV disease after T-depleted VUD BMT. 相似文献

We identified 10 patients who developed cytomegalovirus (CMV) retinitis after HSCT during a 14-year period. The median day of diagnosis of CMV retinitis after transplantation was day 251 (range, days 106--365). CMV retinitis was associated with CMV serostatus of donor or recipient (P=0.01), CMV reactivation before day 100 (P=0.007), delayed lymphocyte engraftment (P<0.05), and chronic graft versus host disease (GVHD; P<0.001). In allogeneic recipients of HSCT who were alive at day 100 after transplantation and had chronic clinical extensive GVHD, the incidence of GVHD was 1.4% (8 of 577). Five of 10 patients had other manifestation of CMV disease before retinitis occurred (4 with gastrointestinal disease and 1 with interstitial pneumonia; median time, 70 days before onset of CMV retinitis; range, 58--279 days), and 4 others had CMV excretion. CMV retinitis was bilateral in 4 patients; 9 of 10 patients had ocular symptoms (i.e., decreased vision and floaters). Six of 7 patients responded well to ganciclovir or foscarnet systemic treatment, 1 improved only after switching to cidofovir, and 1 patient who received a transplant in 1983 did not respond to acyclovir treatment. In conclusion, CMV retinitis is an uncommon late complication after HSCT that occurs mainly in seropositive allograft recipients with previous CMV reactivation and chronic GVHD, and with delayed engraftment of lymphocytes. 相似文献

In contrast to allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (allo-BMT), there is a paucity of data on cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and preemptive therapy (PT) strategies following allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell (allo-PBSC) transplantation. We report here on the patterns of CMV infection in a cohort of 225 patients following sibling donor allo-PBSC transplantation. In an attempt to reduce neutropenia, we used intravenous low-dose short-course (LDSC) ganciclovir (GCV) 5 mg/kg once daily for 21 days as preemptive therapy. A total of 165 recipient-donor pairs were CMV seropositive. An initial episode of viremia (detected by shell vial/tube culture) occurred in 75/165 (45%) at a median of day +35 (17-445) post allo-PBSC. In all, 58 patients received PT with LDSC GCV. Among 58, 55 (94%) completed the 21-day course of PT. A second episode of viremia occurred in 19/58 (33%) at day+80 (50-174) and a third episode in 5/58 (9%) at day+134 (103-218). Among patients receiving LDSC GCV, 5/58(9%) developed disease (four pneumonia, one colitis) at day+211 (63-487). No patient on LDSC GCV exhibited a decline in their ANC below 500/microl and none required growth factors. LDSC GCV is extremely well tolerated and cost-effective as PT for CMV viremia following allo-PBSC transplantation. 相似文献

To assess the requirements for early discharge after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation (BMT), we evaluated infectious complications and transplantation-related toxicity (TRT) among 46 recipients who underwent allogeneic BMT between January 1997 and August 1999 at our institute. Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigenemia developed in 29 and 26 patients, respectively. More than 95% of the episodes occurred before day 70. Among the patients without CMV antigenemia and without prednisolone (PSL) therapy for acute GVHD (n = 15), only 3 developed TRT or infections (pneumonia, varicella zoster virus infection and hemolytic uremic syndrome), but all of these episodes were cured without fatality. On the other hand, in patients with CMV antigenemia and/or PSL therapy for acute GVHD, a high incidence of TRT and infectious complications was observed until day 180, and some of these episodes were fatal. In conclusion, discharge on day 70 after allogeneic BMT seems to be safe for patients who do not develop CMV antigenemia or receive PSL therapy for acute GVHD. 相似文献

Threshold levels of CMV-specific T-cell populations presumably affording protection from active CMV infection in allo-SCT recipients have been proposed, but lack extensive validation. We quantified CMV pp65 and immediate-early 1-specific IFN-γ CD8(+) and CD4(+) T cell responses at days +30, +60 and +90 after transplantation in 133 patients, and established cutoff cell levels protecting from CMV DNAemia within the first 120 days after transplantation. No patients showing IFN-γ CD8(+) or IFN-γ CD4(+) T-cell counts >1.0 and >1.2?cells/μL, respectively, developed a subsequent episode of CMV DNAemia. Initial or recurrent episodes of CMV DNAemia occurred in the face of IFN-γ T-cell levels below defined thresholds. Negative predictive values at day +30 for the IFN-γ CD8(+) and CD4(+) T-cell markers were 68.1 and 61.8%, respectively. Recipients of grafts from CMV seropositive, related or HLA-matched donors, or receiving non-myeloablative conditioning had nonsignificant tendencies to reach more frequently protective levels of both T-cell subsets at early and late (day +365) times after transplantation. The use of anti-thymocyte globulin and umbilical cord blood transplantation were associated with impaired CMV-specific T-cell reconstitution. CMV-specific IFN-γ CD8(+) and CD4(+) T-cell recovery occurred irrespective of detectable CMV DNAemia. 相似文献

Nonmyeloablative allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) is increasingly being explored as therapy in patients who are not eligible for conventional myeloablative HSCT. Whether these transplants are associated with reduced risk of transplantation-related infections is unknown. We analyzed the incidence of posttransplantation cytomegalovirus (CMV) infections in 56 consecutive mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) patients with hematologic malignancies who underwent nonmyeloablative HSCT (TBI, 2Gy, day 0; MMF/cyclosporine after transplantation). In addition, 18 of 56 patients received 30 mg/m(2)/d fludarabine on days -4 to -2. Most donors were HLA matched and related (93%). Each case patient was matched to 2 controls who were treated by conventional HSCT during the same time period (January 1997 through April 2000). Matching criteria included CMV risk group, HSC source, donor type, age, and underlying diseases. No CMV disease occurred in the low (donor and recipient serologically negative) and intermediate (donor serologically positive and recipient negative) CMV risk groups during the first 100 days. Among cases at high risk for CMV (seropositive recipients), trends to less CMV antigenemia (P =.11), viremia (P =.16), and disease (P =.08) compared with controls were observed; all severe manifestations combined (CMV viremia and disease) were significantly reduced among cases (P =.01). However, by day 365, the overall incidence of CMV disease became similar in both groups. The onset of CMV disease was significantly delayed among case patients compared with controls (median, 130 days versus 52 days; P =.02). It was concluded that CMV disease was significantly delayed in nonmyeloablative cases, but that the overall 1-year incidence was similar to myeloablative HSCT patients. Therefore, nonmyeloablative HSCT patients should receive CMV surveillance beyond day 100 and pre-emptive ganciclovir treatment similar to that of myeloablative HSCT patients. 相似文献

Abstract: This retrospective review compared oral valganciclovir (VGCV) 450 mg daily for 6 months versus oral ganciclovir (GCV) 1000 mg 3 times daily for 3 months in preventing cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease in high-risk liver transplant recipients. We evaluated all CMV donor positive–recipient negative liver transplant recipients managed at University Health System in San Antonio, Texas from August 1996 to September 2006. CMV disease was confirmed by polymerase chain-reaction or antigenemia assay, and CMV invasive disease by tissue biopsy. Patient demographics, laboratory results, complications, and therapies were collected via retrospective chart review. Patients <18 years of age or those who died during transplant admission were excluded. Primary endpoints included incidence, onset, and severity of CMV disease up to 1 year post transplant. Data collection also included patient demographics, immunosuppression, CMV treatment regimens, and relevant lab results. A total of 64 patients (43 VGCV and 21 GCV) were identified. Four patients developed CMV disease: VGCV (3/43, 7%) versus GCV (1/21, 5%) ( P =1.0), with 1 VGCV patient experiencing tissue-invasive CMV. In all cases, onset of CMV disease occurred after prophylaxis was discontinued. Onset occurred at 24, 27, and 45 weeks post transplant in the VGCV group, and at 26 weeks in the 1 patient on GCV. Four patients received rabbit anti-thymocyte globulin (rATG) induction; 1 patient received rATG and developed CMV disease, with no statistical difference compared with the 3 remaining patients who received rATG but did not develop CMV disease ( P =0.09). No difference was found in incidence of CMV disease between patients who received GCV and those who received VGCV at our institution. 相似文献

Abstract: Despite advances in surveillance strategies and antivirals, cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection continues to pose problems to patients receiving hematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCTs). The bone marrow transplant (BMT) unit at the Singapore General Hospital embraced the preemptive strategy in late 2003. Although several studies have demonstrated its usefulness, we conducted this review to document CMV‐related events at our institution. Forty‐six patients underwent CMV surveillance using the CMV pp65 antigenemia (CMV Ag) assay from January 2004 to December 2005. Twenty‐seven patients had CMV infection, and 19 remained antigenemia‐negative. No differences were found between the 2 groups for the following potential risk factors for CMV infection: age, total number of co‐morbidities, duration of neutropenia after conditioning, baseline creatinine, type of conditioning regimen (conventional vs. reduced intensity), type of transplant (matched sibling vs. others), recipient CMV status, donor CMV status, and use of total body irradiation. Two patients received alemtuzumab; both developed CMV Ag. Twelve episodes of CMV infection occurred after the 100th post‐HSCT day. Two patients developed CMV disease. One of them could be considered a failure of the preemptive strategy, as she had CMV gastritis diagnosed on the same day that she became pp65‐positive. The other developed CMV disease despite prompt institution of ganciclovir, although she had multiple post‐HSCT complications requiring enhanced immunosuppression, as well as relapsed disease. One‐year disease‐free survival was 55.5% in those with CMV infection and 52.3% in those without infection. Survival was not affected by CMV infection. 相似文献

The incidence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease, one of the most prevalent opportunistic infections in HIV‐infected persons in the early 1990s, has decreased by more than 80% since the introduction of highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART). The rare cases of CMV disease still observed in Western countries occur mainly in profoundly immunosuppressed patients who have failed to respond to HAART. A new finding is the occasional occurrence of inflammatory retinitis in some patients on HAART with a history of healed retinitis. New tools for CMV detection have become available recently, including use of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect CMV DNA from plasma. It has been possible to redefine, in the HAART period, patients at risk for CMV disease as those who have a low CD4 cell count as well as a blood marker of CMV blood dissemination (plasma CMV DNAaemia or high pp65 antigenaemia). Besides the classical therapeutic approach using ganciclovir (GCV), foscarnet and cidofovir, development of valganciclovir (VGCV), an orally administered prodrug of GCV, appears promising. There is evidence to suggest that it is as effective as intravenous GCV for the treatment of CMV retinitis, and it is currently being studied as a pre‐emptive therapy in patients at high risk for CMV disease. Finally, patients with inactive CMV retinitis receiving HAART and with stable immune reconstitution may be able to discontinue maintenance therapy provided a regular ophthalmological and virological surveillance is maintained. 相似文献

Lymphocytopenia as an unfavorable prognostic factor in patients with cytomegalovirus infection after bone marrow transplantation 总被引:5,自引:3,他引:2

Sixty-three recipients of an allogeneic marrow transplant were screened for the occurrence of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and clinical parameters possibly predicting the development of CMV disease in a retrospective study. Blood and urine samples obtained from these patients were screened weekly after bone marrow transplantation (BMT) for the presence of CMV by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and virus culture technique. Forty-six of the 63 patients studied were found to be CMV-positive by PCR technique in blood and urine samples at a median of 29 days after BMT. In 33 of these 46 patients, CMV could be cultured from urine samples and 16 of the 46 had culture-positive viremia. Twenty-eight of these 46 PCR-positive patients developed CMV disease. Whereas PCR assays showed an optimal negative predictive value and sensitivity for the development of CMV disease, their positive predictive value was 61% and could not be remarkably increased when culture-proven viruria (64%) and viremia (69%) were considered. Acute graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) grade 2 to 4 (P < .05), but not underlying disease, conditioning therapy, or GVHD prophylaxis, was associated with CMV infection. On day +49, a remarkable decrease (P < .001) in the lymphocyte count, as well as in the absolute number of CD4+, CD8+, and CD56+ lymphocytes, occurred only among the patients who later developed CMV disease. The decrease of all of these cell counts, but predominantly the CD4+ T cells, to less than 100/microL on day +49 after BMT showed a very high positive predictive value (100%) for the development of CMV disease in patients with PCR-proven viremia. Persisting CD4 lymphopenia after antiviral therapy was only observed in patients who finally died of CMV disease. Thus, immunophenotyping of the patients after BMT in addition to a highly sensitive virus detection assay might help to identify patients at high risk to develop CMV disease and indicate the need for additional adoptive immunotherapy. 相似文献

Valganciclovir prophylaxis in patients at high risk for the development of cytomegalovirus disease 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

BACKGROUND: Despite advances in antiviral therapies, cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains the leading opportunistic infection in the transplant population. Valganciclovir (VGC), the L-valyl ester prodrug of ganciclovir (GCV), provides an excellent oral alternative to GCV for the prevention of CMV in transplant recipients. We investigated the use of VGC for CMV prevention in high-risk renal and pancreas transplant recipients. METHODS: Patients at high risk for development of CMV disease were defined as either those who had donor positive, recipient-negative serostatus (D+/R-), or those who received antilymphocyte antibody (ALA) therapy for either rejection treatment or induction. A retrospective review was conducted of all kidney and pancreas transplants performed between August 2001 and December 2003. A total of 341 transplants were performed, of which 109 received VGC, and 88 were included in this analysis. RESULTS: The overall incidence of CMV disease was 5.7% (5/88). All of the CMV episodes were in patients who were D+/R- (17.2% [5/29] versus 0% [0/59], P<0.001). Of these patients, all the episodes of CMV were in patients who received VGC prophylaxis for<100 days post transplant (29% [5/17] versus 0% [0/12], P=0.06). The overall incidence of leukopenia was 11% and thrombocytopenia was 7%, with the incidence between the D+/R- group and the ALA group being similar. CONCLUSION: VGC is an effective agent in preventing CMV disease in kidney and pancreas transplant recipients who are at high risk for developing the disease. The optimal length of prophylaxis in D+/R- patients is still undefined, while 3 months of prophylaxis appears to be sufficient in patients who received ALA therapy. 相似文献

Late cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease beyond day 100 after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) has become an increasing
problem after the introduction of preemptive ganciclovir (GCV) administration. To clarify the risk factors and outcome for
late CMV reactivation and disease, we retrospectively analyzed the records of 101 Japanese adult patients who underwent allogeneic
HSCT between 1998 and 2005 at our hospital. Fifty-one developed late positive CMV antigenemia, with a cumulative incidence
of 53%. Recipient CMV seropositivity, the use of alemtuzumab, chronic GVHD, and high-dose steroids were significantly associated
with late positive antigenemia. Eight patients developed late CMV disease, with a cumulative incidence of 8%, including retinitis
and gastrointestinal disease. None progressed to a fatal disease. The use of alemtuzumab was identified as an independent
significant risk factor for late CMV disease, although it was not associated with increased non-relapse mortality. Among the
51 patients with late positive antigenemia, 28 had consistently less than three positive cells, 25 of whom showed negative
conversion without antiviral agents. In conclusion, late CMV antigenemia appeared to develop frequently, especially in patients
with profound immune suppression; however, a fatal outcome could be prevented by optimal preemptive therapy. Low-level antigenemia
may not require antiviral treatments. 相似文献

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease is a frequent cause of morbidity and mortality following allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. In order to investigate the relationships between antigenemia, high-dose acyclovir (HDACV) prophylaxis, preemptive ganciclovir (GCV) therapy, and outcomes, we analyzed the records of 105 patients, including both pediatric and adult populations, who underwent allogeneic peripheral blood stem cell transplantation (PBSCT) and who were at risk for CMV reactivation and disease (both recipient and donor seropositive). All received HDACV until neutrophil engraftment, but prophylaxis was continued till post-transplant day 180 only in pediatric patients in conjunction with weekly CMV pp65 antigenemia monitoring. Antigenemia-guided preemptive strategy with GCV was used for all patients. CMV antigenemia developed in 45 patients (42.9%) and CMV disease in 13 (12.4%). The frequencies for antigenemia were 31.3 and 63.2% in pediatric and adult groups (P = 0.002). All CMV diseases were in the adult group (P<0.001). Age at transplantation, underlying disease, long-term HDACV prophylaxis and acute graft versus host disease (aGVHD) were all found to be a significant risk factors for antigenemia. All of these factors other than aGVHD and conditioning regimen were also the significant risk factors for CMV disease. However, when we analyzed the pediatric and adult patients separately, dropping "long-term HDACV prophylaxis," none of these parameters were significant risk factors for CMV disease. In conclusion, we hypothesize that long-term HDACV prophylaxis in the GCV era results in a low incidence of CMV reactivation and disease in patients undergoing PBSCT. 相似文献

To determine whether cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigenemiaguided ganciclovir treatment may be as effective, may require less treatment, and thus may cause less marrow toxicity than ganciclovir administered at engraftment, 226 marrow transplant recipients were randomized at engraftment to receive placebo (antigenemia-ganciclovir group) or ganciclovir (ganciclovir group) until day 100 in a double-blind study. In patients with antigenemia of 3 or more positive cells in 2 slides and/or viremia, study drug was discontinued and ganciclovir was started for at least 3 weeks or until negative CMV antigenemia and resumed only if antigenemia recurred. More patients in the antigenemia-ganciclovir group developed CMV disease before day 100 after transplantation compared with the ganciclovir group (14% v 2.7%, P = .002). Of the 16 patients with CMV disease before day 100 in the antigenemia-ganciclovir group, 10 (8.8%) had disease before or during the first episode of antigenemia and 6 (5.3%) developed disease after discontinuation of ganciclovir. Untreated low-grade antigenemia progressed to CMV disease in 19% of patients with grade 3-4 compared with 0% of patients with grade 0-2 acute graft-versus-host disease (P = .04). There was no significant difference in CMV disease by day 180 after transplantation and thereafter. CMV-related death, transplant survival, and neutropenia were not significantly different between the groups. In the ganciclovir group, more invasive fungal infections occurred (P = .03) and more ganciclovir was used (P < .0001). Thus, delaying the start of ganciclovir until highgrade antigenemia and discontinuing ganciclovir based on negative antigenemia results in more CMV disease by day 100 than ganciclovir administered at engraftment. However, ganciclovir at engraftment is associated with more early invasive fungal infections and more late CMV disease resulting in similar survival rates. 相似文献

Sequential treatment of cytomegalovirus infection or disease with a short course of intravenous ganciclovir followed by oral valganciclovir: efficacy, safety, and pharmacokineticsTranspl Infect Dis 2010: 12: 204–212. All rights reserved Abstract: Oral (p.o.) or intravenous (IV) ganciclovir (GCV) has been the first‐line agent for prevention and treatment of cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and disease in solid organ transplantation (SOT). The introduction of p.o. valganciclovir, with higher bioavailability than p.o. GCV, has proven to be a suitable approach toward outpatient p.o. therapy for CMV infection/disease. The present single‐arm, exploratory pilot trial performed with 21 patients investigates the efficacy and safety of a short therapeutic course (21 days) based on an initial IV treatment with GCV (5 mg/kg twice daily, for 5 days) followed by p.o. valganciclovir (900 mg twice daily, for 16 days) for CMV infection/disease in SOT patients. In all cases, doses were adjusted for renal function. Moreover, the study allowed comparison of exposure to GCV after p.o. valganciclovir with respect to IV GCV in the same patients. Response to treatment was monitored until day 180. Viral load eradication was achieved in 66.7% of patients, on day 21. Although not statistically significant, a trend was seen toward increased persistence of viral load on day 21 for patients with donor positive/recipient negative CMV serostatus or receiving either anti‐rejection therapy or polyclonal anti‐thymocyte globulin. CMV clinical infection recurred in 14.3% of patients, with higher recurrence rates in patients with risk factors for persistence of viremia. Exposures to GCV after using IV GCV or p.o. valganciclovir showed comparable values (P=0.054). This short course, combining initial IV GCV and subsequent p.o. valganciclovir, may provide effective exposure and therapeutic response in the treatment of CMV infection in SOT patients with adequate drug exposure and with the additional potential benefit of shortening the length of hospital stay, which may result in cost reduction and improved patient comfort. 相似文献
