- Brief Summary
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a ubiquitous herpesvirus that represent a major cause of morbidity in haematopoietic stem cell transplants (HSCT) recipients, mostly through reactivation of the recipient's virus.
If left untreated, 40 to 80% of patients will develop CMV infection, leading to CMV disease in 30 to 35 % patients, and associated with considerable morbi-mortality. Interstitial pneumonia is the most severe and specific manifestation, although CMV replication by itself has also indirect effects such as triggering graft versus host disease and increasing immunosuppression. The current burden of CMV infection increases by 25 to 30% the cost of the graft in France. This also includes the burden for refractory - infections, that represent up to 13% of recipients with CMV infection, including 3% of cases with virological resistance in France (data from the Reference Center cohorts).
Ganciclovir, or valganciclovir preemptive treatment, guided by CMV viral load follow-up allowed significant reduction of CMV disease to 2-6% but did not prevent CMV indirect effects. In addition, hematotoxicity can compromise post-transplant haematological reconstitution, thus preventing its use as prophylaxis in France. Foscarnet, iv-administered and nephrotoxic, remains less used. There is thus a high expectation from less toxic molecules for prophylaxis The development letermovir recently available for prophylaxis of CMV infection in high risk patients will modify the patients care and follow-up. This new molecule targeting CMV terminases (developed by Merck) was recently marketed in France (Jan 2020). However, the analysis of the letermovir phase III study and further publications show that the risk of emergence of resistance is low, but may occur in case of breakthrough and thus post AMM monitoring is required.
A "real-life" evaluation of these new molecules in terms of efficacy, emergence of resistance, tolerance and morbimortality related to CMV infection, is useful, to propose recommendations on management strategies, in particular for the most at-risk patients i.e. CMV-seropositive recipients. To this purpose, the National Reference Center in collaboration with the French Society for marrow graft and cell therapy (SFGMTC) set up a cohort of surveillance of allografted patients, receiving, in prevention or treatment, old and new molecules.

Group Intervention Description Multicentric NAViRe cohort with biocollection Real-life observatory of efficacy and resistance to anti CMV molecules in stem cell recipients The National Reference Center (CNR) for cytomegalovirus with the French Society for Medullary Transplantation and Cell Therapy (SFGM-TC) has set up a surveillance cohort of allografted patients (NAViRe cohort) receiving, as prevention or treatment, Anti-Cytomegalovirus (Anti-CMV) molecules, "new or less recent", thus allowing the development of a new observatory evaluating in real life the potentials of these drugs in terms of efficacy, emergence of resistance, tolerance and morbidity and mortality associated with CMV infection.This work is useful to propose recommendations on management strategies, in particular for the most at-risk patients i.e. CMV-seropositive recipients and allows the emergence of an real-life observatory of efficacy and resistance to anti CMV molecules in stem cell recipients.
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method CMV infection according to criteria defined by the European EBMT group (Ljungman et al., 2017). Month24 CMV detection (CMV DNAemia or antigen detection) in any body fluid or tissue specimen
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method CMV associated morbidity : CMV infection/disease at Month24 Incidence of CMV infection/disease (infection or disease will be combined to report this outcome).
CMV infection : positive diagnostic test (CMV culture, antigen detection or CMV PCR), in any body fluid or tissue, in the absence of symptoms.
CMV disease : CMV infection associated with end-organ disease (clinical signs and oriented virological diagnosis).Incidence of the non-response and resistance to antivirals with risk factors associated (virological, pharmacological, immunological). Criteria recently published by Chemaly et al. CID 2018 will be used to classify cases in at Month24 Criteria recently published by Chemaly et al. CID 2018 will be used to classify cases in :
* Refractory CMV infection CMV viremia that increases after at least 2 wk of appropriately dosed antiviral therapy.
* Probable refractory CMV infection : persistent viral load after at least 2 wk of appropriately dosed antiviral therapy.
* Refractory CMV end organ disease : worsening in signs and symptoms or progression into end-organ disease after at least 2 wk of appropriately dosed antiviral therapy.
* Probable refractory CMV end-organ disease : lack of improvement in signs and symptoms after at least 2 wk of appropriately dosed antiviral drugs.
* Antiviral drug resistance : viral genetic alteration that decreases susceptibility to one or more antiviral drugs.
Resistance : presence of a resistance-related mutation by resistance genotyping of UL97, UL54, UL56, UL89, UL27 genes, carried out or validated by the Limoges Herpesviruses reference laboratory. In blood or any other sample.CMV related mortality at Month24 Number of patients who died from CMV related desease
