ValGanciclovir Versus ValAcyclovir for Viral Prophylaxis in Kidney Transplantation
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Valacyclovir and Valganciclovir for Transplantation Infection and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 137 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Our study will compare all kidney transplant recipients receiving valganciclovir vs. valacyclovir for one year following kidney transplant and compare: 1. the incidence, magnitude and duration of CMV and EBV viremia in the first year after transplant. 2. the side effects of the anti-viral drugs requiring dose reduction or cessation In addition, we will test renal tissue obtained from any biopsies post-transplant (surveillance or clinically indicated biopsies) by both polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and fluorescence in situ hybridization to assess for latent CMV and/or EBV.
