Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Lung transplant recipients take anti-rejection medicines to prevent the body from rejecting the transplanted lung(s). Although anti-rejection medications help protect the transplanted lung(s) from the body's immune system, these medications also decrease the body's ability to fight infections. This reduces the immune system's ability to control viruses like CMV. Many transplant recipients take an antiviral medication early after transplant to help the body control the CMV virus. This is the time that risk of infection would be highest. Sometimes recipients get an active CMV infection after stopping these medicines. If this happens, the infection is treated and monitored.
In this study, investigators are trying to determine whether a blood test can predict development of active CMV infection in lung transplant recipients. Specifically, the clinical research study will prospectively assess the performance of an immune signature based on the "ex vivo" measurement of T cell CMV specific immunity in predicting freedom from future CMV infections among recipient positive (R+) lung transplant participants receiving standard durations of valganciclovir prophylaxis.

Study Groups

CMV+ First Lung Transplant Recipients
Participants enrolled in one of four North American sites in clinical research study CTOT-20 (Clinical Trials.gov ID: NCT02631720) who are cytomegalovirus positive by serology (e.g., CMV Recipient positive).
Procedure
Serial blood draws. Participants will be enrolled either pre-transplant or within 45 days post-transplant and will be followed over the course of 18 months post transplant. Protocol mandated serial measurement of cytomegalovirus (CMV)-specific immune signature will occur pre-transplant (as applicable) and at post-transplant timepoint months 2, -3, -6, -9, -12 and -18.
