Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and feasibility of using a laboratory test to guide duration of antiviral prophylaxis with valganciclovir (medication used to prevent viral infections) after lung transplant. The laboratory test, inSIGHT™ CMV T Cell Immunity Panel, measures patients' immune response to a common viral infection known as cytomegalovirus (CMV). The goal of this study will be to safely decrease how long patients need to take valganciclovir based on the results of the CMV T Cell Immunity Panel.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Lung Transplant Recipients

Lung transplant recipients with pre-transplant serological immunity to CMV. CMV-TCIP will be measured every 3 months post-transplant with antiviral prophylaxis discontinued when threshold is exceeded.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Cytomegalovirus T Cell Immunity Panel (CMV-TCIP)

Intervention Type DEVICE

Whole blood assay that evaluates T cell (CD4 and CD8) responses to cytomegalovirus (CMV) antigens via intracellular cytokine staining (ICS).

Donor-Derived Cell-Free DNA (dd-cfDNA) Assay

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Determines the percentage of circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in transplant recipients derived from donor grafts.

Valganciclovir

Intervention Type DRUG

Delivered as standard of care for post-lung transplant immunosuppression and infection prophylaxis. Started on the first day post-transplant at a standard dose of 900 mg daily and continued for 12 months. Dose adjustments may be necessary based on renal function and/or adverse effects (e.g. neutropenia). Dose adjustments are standard based on package insert recommendations.
