    First, the deployment of ganciclovir and valganciclovir for both the prevention and treatment of CMV infections and disease in transplant recipients has been further improved with the licensure of the efficacious and less toxic letermovir...Thus, an important lesson learned from studies in both populations is the need for new antiviral agents and the necessity for combination therapies as has been shown to be beneficial in the treatment of HIV infections, among others. The development of monoclonal antibodies, sirtuins, and cyclopropovir may provide new treatment options.

    In the future, it is expected that survival after allogeneic HSCT will be improved by preventing CMV infection. However, further investigations are warranted to solve problems, such as the establishment of the appropriate prophylaxis for CMV infection and the management of late-onset and drug-resistant CMV infection.

    Issues of standardization and diagnostic utility in comparison with traditional Sanger sequencing remain unresolved. Quality control is important for the accurate and reproducible detection of mutant viral populations in clinical specimens.

    Review, Journal:  The discovery and development of filociclovir for the prevention and treatment of human cytomegalovirus-related disease. (Pubmed Central) -  Jan 13, 2021   
    The most recently approved drug, letermovir (LMV), was approved only for prophylaxis in adult HCMV-seropositive stem cell transplant recipients...Furthermore, FCV was shown to retain activity against a panel of GCV-resistant HCMV isolates, suggesting that it could be a useful alternative therapy for treating patients infected with some GCV-resistant HCMV strains. This review summarizes the early discovery work of FCV and highlights the recent advances in the continued development of this clinical candidate.

    Review, Journal:  The direct and indirect consequences of cytomegalovirus infection and potential benefits of vaccination. (Pubmed Central) -  Jan 13, 2021   
    This article describes the studies that have been conducted to date and emphasises that mortality after stem cell transplant (not attributed to CMV end-organ disease) has recently become the first proven indirect effect of CMV now that letermovir has significantly reduced non-relapse deaths...A prototype scheme for assessing this possibility is provided in order to stimulate discussion within the field. This article forms part of an online symposium on the prevention and therapy of DNA virus infections, dedicated to the memory of Mark Prichard.
