Brief Summary

To explore the effect of letermovir prophylaxis on cytomegalovirus-specific immune reconstitution post unrelated cord blood transplantation

Detailed Description

To explore the effect of letermovir prophylaxis on cytomegalovirus-specific and other lymphocyte subsets immune reconstitution post unrelated cord blood transplantation, and to analyze the potential mechanism and risk factors of late CMV reactivation after letermovir discontinuation.

GroupInterventionDescription

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
late CMV reactivationone year

Late CMV reactivation is defined as reactivation that occurs 100 days post UCBT, which means reactivation after discontinuing LET prophylaxis.

CMV DNAemiaone year

CMV DNAemia is defined as the detection of CMV DNA in samples of plasma, whole blood or isolated peripheral blood leukocyte.

Incidence of refractory CMV infectionone year

Refractory CMV infection is defined as CMV viral load remaining at the same level or increasing despite appropriately doses of antiviral therapy for at least 2 weeks

Numbers of immune cells in peripheral bloodone year

PBMCs from UCBT recipients were collected at 1 month, 2 month, 3 month, and 6 month and 12 month after HSCT, and tested for CMV-specific T cells, NK cells, T cells and other subsets.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Overall survivalone year
