Immune Reconstitution to CMV After HSCT: Impact of Clinical Factors and Therapy Strategies

Conditions
Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
CMV Infection
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT05656599
Lead Sponsor
Peking University People's Hospital
Brief Summary

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The course and outcome of CMV infection are different clinically, and the mechanism of CMV infection after transplantation has not been clarified. Reconstitution of cellular immunity after HSCT is a critical determinant of the control of CMV infection.

Investigators will dynamically monitor the CMV-specific cellular immune reconstitution after HSCT,and analyze the clinical factors and therapy strategies affecting recovery of CMV-specific immunity during 1 year after HSCT.

Detailed Description

Cytomegalovirus (CMV) remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The course and outcome of CMV infection are different clinically, and the mechanism of CMV infection after transplantation has not been clarified. Reconstitution of cellular immunity after HSCT is a critical determinant of the control of CMV infection.

Investigators will collect peripheral blood at 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, and 6 month after HSCT from the participated patients, and dynamically monitor the CMV-specific T and NK cellular immune reconstitution.

Investigators will also analyze the clinical factors and therapy strategies affecting recovery of CMV-specific immunity during 1 year after HSCT.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Numbers of immune cells in peripheral blood6 months after HSCT

PBMCs from HSCT recipients were collected at 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, and 6 month after HSCT, and tested for NK cells, T cells, CMV-specific T cells and their subsets.

Incidence of clinically significant CMV infection (CSI)6 months after HSCT

Clinically significant CMV infection (CSI) is defined as the administration of antiviral therapy as preemptive therapy for CMV DNAemia or treatment for CMV disease.

Incidence of refractory CMV infection and CMV disease6 months after HSCT

Refractory CMV infection is defined as a persistent viral load (CMV viral load at the same level or higher than the peak viral load within 1 week but \<1 log10 increase in CMV DNA titers done in the same laboratory and with the same assay) after at least 2 weeks of appropriately dosed antiviral therapy.
