- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The primary study endpoint is value of the assay result at the end of<br /><br>prophylaxis for the prediction of CMV disease within the 6 months after<br /><br>stopping prophylaxis. Follow-up will be at 12 months for all patients. The<br /><br>definition of CMV disease will be based on the criteria recommended by the AST<br /><br>for use in clinical trials.</p><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method <p>The secondary endpoint is prediction of CMV viremia and the value of<br /><br>measurement of CMI at other times points. </p><br>
