Preventing Cytomegalovirus Disease in Lung Transplant Recipients

Official title: Prophylaxis Guided by Cytomegalovirus-specific T Cell Immunity to Prevent Cytomegalovirus Disease in Lung Transplant Recipients: a Single Center Prospective Study

Run by University of Miami · NCT06494033 · Data updated 2026-11-12

This study looks at how lung transplant patients' immune systems respond to Cytomegalovirus to see if it can help prevent disease after their transplant.

Is this trial a fit for you?

Likely a good fit

Ideal candidates for this study are adult lung transplant candidates over 18 years of age with a positive CMV IgG.

Probably not a fit

Patients who are HIV infected, pregnant or breastfeeding, or those with negative CMV IgG prior to transplant will not benefit from this study.

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study aims to evaluate the clinical outcomes related to Cytomegalovirus (CMV) in lung transplant recipients by monitoring their immunological responses to the virus. Participants will be followed to assess how their immune systems respond to CMV, particularly focusing on those with positive CMV IgG. The study will involve lung transplant candidates who are expected to undergo either single or double lung transplants.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this approach could significantly reduce the incidence of CMV disease in lung transplant recipients, improving their overall health outcomes.

How similar studies have gone: While this approach is focused on CMV-specific T cell immunity, similar studies have shown promise in managing viral infections in transplant populations, suggesting potential for success.
