Assessment of CMV-specific ELISPOT Assay for Predicting CMV Infection in Bone Marrow Transplant Recipients (ACE-BMT)

Completed
Conditions
Bone Marrow Transplantation
Registration Number
NCT02081716
Lead Sponsor
Asan Medical Center
Brief Summary

CMV is one of the most important opportunistic infection in transplant recipients. In South Korea, more than 95% of adults reveal sero-positivity for CMV IgG. Until now, sero-positivity for CMV IgG before bone marrow organ transplantation is a laboratory test of choice to stratify the risk of CMV reactivation after solid organ transplantation. Theoretically, CMV-specific cell-mediate immune response before and after bone marrow transplantation will further categorize the patients into high or low risk of CMV development after bone marrow transplantation. The investigators thus evaluate the usefulness of CMV-specific ELISPOT assay in bone marrow transplant candidates to predict the development of CMV infection after transplantation.

Detailed Description

We will evaluate whether CMV-specific cell-mediated immune response before transplant, 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months after transplantation will predict CMV infection after bone marrow transplantation.

CMV infection is defined as follows.

1. CMV viremia: CMV antigenemia or CMV quantitative PCR (+)

2. CMV disease: CMV syndrome or tissue-invasive CMV disease i) CMV syndrome: ① CMV viremia ② temperature \> 38 without other cause ③ WBC \< 4000, atypical lymphocyte \> 3%, transaminase elevation, platelet \< 100,000/mm ii) tissue-invasive CMV disease: evidence of CMV in histopathologic specimen (inclusion body or viral antigen in biopsy or bronchoalveolar lavage fluid)
