Letermovir to Prevent CMV Reactivation After CAR T Cell Therapy

This study is looking at whether the drug Letermovir can prevent a common viral infection called cytomegalovirus (CMV) from becoming active in people receiving a specific type of cell therapy (CAR T cell therapy). You might be able to join if you are 18 or older, have good general health, are scheduled to receive AXI-CEL (a type of CAR T cell therapy), and have previously been exposed to CMV (meaning you have anti-CMV IgG antibodies). The main goal is to see how safe Letermovir is and what side effects it might cause over about one year. Researchers will also check if Letermovir helps prevent CMV from reactivating after your CAR T cell treatment.

Study design
This is a single-arm pilot study, meaning all 36 participants will receive the study drug. The phase of the study is not specified.
What's involved
Not specified in the trial record.
Compensation
Not stated in the trial record.
Follow-up
Participants will be followed for safety and adverse events through study completion, which is an average of one year.
