A Study of Cytomegalovirus (CMV) Infection After Kidney Transplant in Adults in the United Kingdom

Recruiting
Conditions
Cytomegalovirus (CMV)
Interventions
Other: No Intervention
Registration Number
NCT06568055
Lead Sponsor
Takeda
Brief Summary

This observational study intends to retrospectively gather information on cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection management in the United Kingdom (UK) over a period of 7 years (2017-2024). The main aims of this study are the following:

* To estimate the overall prevalence and annual rate of adults with refractory CMV infection after a kidney transplant and describe how such CMV infections are treated

* To describe how effective and well-tolerated the treatment was.

* To describe the demographic and clinical characteristics of adult participants with CMV infection (refractory and non-refractory).

In this study, already existing data will be reviewed and analysed from a UK database called the Registry of Rare Kidney Diseases (RaDaR) (NCT06065852). The study will only review data collected as part of routine clinical practice. The study will not impact the standard medical care and treatment of participants.

Exclusion Criteria

Refractory CMV group:

  1. Multi-organ transplant recipients.
  2. Participation recorded in an anti-CMV prophylaxis or treatment clinical trial from 2010 onward.

Participants with non-refractory CMV are to be included as a reference to indicate impact of refractory CMV not responding to initial therapy on resource use and other outcomes.

Reference cohort of non-refractory CMV group:

  1. Multi-organ transplant recipients.
  2. Participation recorded in an anti-CMV prophylaxis or treatment clinical trial from 2010.
  3. CMV viremia or disease refractory to any previous anti-CMV therapy.
  4. Treatment for CMV viremia or disease refractory to initial therapy during the follow up period.

Arm && Interventions
GroupInterventionDescription
Refractory CMV groupNo InterventionParticipants who had a kidney transplantation (including re-transplantation) with refractory CMV infection will be identified from five solid organ transplantation centres in England and followed retrospectively for at least 6 months and up to 7 years until the end of 2024 or exit date from the cohort for any reasons, including death or end of participation in the registry (follow up period).
Reference cohort of non-refractory CMV groupNo InterventionParticipants with non-refractory CMV infection who have responded to initial anti-CMV therapy post-transplant with no CMV refractory to treatment will be followed retrospectively for at least 6 months and up to 7 years until the end of 2024 or exit date from the cohort for any reasons, including death or end of participation in the registry (follow up period).
