Phase:
PHASE2
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical research study is to learn if a drug called Letermovir can help to prevent CMV reactivation.
Detailed Description
Primary Objective: Estimate the probabilities at days d = +28 and +98 following CAR T cell infusion, among patients alive at the day of evaluation, of CMV reactivation in CMV seropositive patients re...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Age ≥ 18 years of age.
- Have an ECOG performance status of 0 or 1.
- The participant must be scheduled for SOC AXI-CEL.
- The participant must be seropositive for CMV (defined as having anti-CMV IgG antibodies)
- Creatinine clearance \> 10 mL/min
- Child Pugh class A or B if liver disease is present.
- Participants of child-bearing potential must agree to use adequate contraceptive methods (e.g., hormonal or barrier method of birth control; abstinence) prior to study entry. Should a woman become pregnant or suspect she is pregnant while she or her partner is participating in this study, she should inform the treating physician immediately.
- Participant must understand the investigational nature of this study and sign an Institutional Review Board approved written informed consent form prior to receiving any study related procedure.
Exclusion
- Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including, but not limited to, ongoing or active infection not responding to treatment, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements.
- Female participants who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
- Unwilling or unable to follow protocol requirements.
- Planned to receive any other anti-CMV therapy such as high dose acyclovir (500 mg/m2/dose intravenously every 8 hours or 800 mg orally 4 times a day) or high dose valacyclovir (2 grams three to four times daily or 2 grams three times daily) for the prophylaxis of CMV reactivation. Acyclovir or valacyclovir at lower doses for the prevention of HSV and VZV are allowed.
- Any condition which in the Investigator's opinion deems the participant an unsuitable candidate to receive study drug.
- Evidence for CMV infection defined as any positive CMV DNA qPCR test within 1 week prior to starting letermovir.
- Child Pugh class C liver disease.
