    Empiric FK dose adjustments do not appear warranted before letermovir initiation in lung transplant recipients receiving antifungal prophylaxis with moderate-to-strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. This commitment has remained strong, as evidenced by the introduction of Crixivan

    Journal:  The changing landscape of infections in the lung transplant recipient. (Pubmed Central) -  Feb 27, 2024   
    More research is needed to fully elucidate the roles, efficacy, and safety of these newer agents in prevention and treatment of CMV in pediatric transplant recipients. Although new vaccines and novel therapies for preventing and treating infections are available, larger studies evaluating efficacy in lung transplant recipients are needed.

    P2,  N=25, Recruiting, 
    A high prevalence of resistance emphasizes the importance of testing the patient whenever resistance is suspected, which requires the development of more sensitive and rapid tests while also highlighting the need for alternative therapeutic targets, strategies and the development of an effective vaccine. Trial primary completion date: Dec 2023 --> Dec 2024

    Physicians reported intravenous ganciclovir and oral valganciclovir to be completely associated with rapid clearance of viraemia (32.3%) and convenient administration (37.8%), respectively, in transplant recipients with refractory PT-CMV infection...Approximately half of physicians reported having limited experience with newer anti-CMV options, such as treatment with maribavir (54.9%) and prophylaxis with letermovir (50.6%) (Figure 1)... This study provides real-world evidence from Central and Eastern Europe, bridging an existing knowledge gap and providing crucial epidemiological data on the prevalence, treatment practices and physicians

    OUTCOME OF THE USE OF LETERMOVIR AS PROPHYACTIC TREATMENT FOR HSCT RECIPIENTS: A SINGLE CENTER EXPERIENCE (ePoster area) -  Feb 14, 2024 - Abstract #EBMT2024EBMT_2148;    
    Treatment relies upon anti-CMV specific Immunoglobulin and antiviral drugs such as Ganciclovir, Foscavir or Cidofovir. The experience of our center shows an efficacy of the prophylactic use of letermovir in patients undergoing HSCT, even if it showed reactivation events which, overall, allowed effective therapeutic management with rapid resolution without complications.

    Due to the well-known toxicity of such drug, a switch to a better tolerated treatment was needed. The use of Letermovir once virological drop was achieved, showed to be safe and effective in inducing and maintaining CMV negativity, preventing further reactivation at the last available follow-up.
