| Trial ID | Title | Status | Sponsor | Phase | Start Date | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NCT00000584 ↗ | Transfusion-Transmitted Cytomegalovirus Prevention in Neonates | Completed | National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) | Phase 3 | 1983-07-01 | To evaluate the capacity of intravenously administered cytomegalovirus (CMV)-immune globin (CMVIG) to immunize high risk premature infants against CMV infections. |
| NCT00203281 ↗ | Study to Evaluate the Amount of Medications That May be Removed From the Body During Plasmapheresis | Withdrawn | Sidney Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University | 2003-02-01 | Based on the limited amount of experience with plasmapheresis and CytoGam concomitant use, the researchers seek to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (drug absorption, distribution, and elimination) of this therapy. The researchers are also interested in evaluating the pharmacokinetics of the various immunosuppressant medications that patients will receive such as tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil and daclizumab. | |
| NCT00659386 ↗ | IVIg Therapy for Patients With Idiopathic Cardiomyopathy and Endomyocardial Biopsy Proven High PVB19 Viral Load | Unknown status | Maastricht University Medical Center | Phase 1 | 2009-02-01 | Rationale: Parvovirus B19 (PVB19) persistence in the heart has been associated with progressive cardiac dysfunction and evolution to dilated cardiomyopathy. Objective: Whether high dose of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) in addition to conventional heart failure therapy achieves virus reduction, thereby resulting in improvement of cardiac function. Study design: A interventional study of virus presence and cardiac functional capacity before and after IVIg therapy. Study population: Patients with idiopathic cardiomyopathy and symptomatic heart failure for more than 1 year and a significant PVB19 viral load in endomyocardial biopsies (EMB) and treated with high dose of IVIg were included. Intervention (if applicable): Patients were treated with a total dose of 2 g/kg of immune globulin administered as 0.5 g/kg IV over a period of 6 hours on each of 4 consecutive days. Main study parameters/endpoints: EMBs: virus (PVB19, enteroviruses, adenoviruses, Epstein-Barr virus, human herpes virus-6 and cytomegalovirus), inflammation (lymphocytes an macrophages) and fibrosis. Cardiac functional capacity: NYHA classification, echocardiographic evaluation (left ventricular ejection fraction, end-systolic diameter, end-diastolic diameter). |
| NCT01911546 ↗ | Role of Everolimus in Highly Sensitized Patients | Completed | Novartis | Phase 2 | 2013-06-01 | A growing number of patients on the kidney transplant waiting list are broadly human leukocyte antigen (HLA) sensitized (HS). These patients are unlikely to have a compatible donor. Therefore they wait longer and have increased morbidity and mortality. Desensitization with intravenous immune globulin (IVIG) and rituximab with alemtuzumab induction improves transplant rates and achieves good allograft outcomes. However, HS patients are at risk for viral infections after transplant. We have previously shown an increased incidence of BKV infections after desensitization with HS patients having higher peak viral loads. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) and polyomavirus BK (BKV) infections place HS renal transplant recipients at particular risk. Allograft rejection is associated with both CMV and BKV infection. This is of particular concern for HS patients as they are at an increased risk of rejection at baseline. Furthermore, the frequent development of leukopenia after transplantation often requires the CMV prophylactic agent to be discontinued along with lowering immunosuppression. This increases the risk of CMV infection and allograft rejection. Everolimus was approved for rejection prophylaxis in combination with calcineurin inhibitors (CNI). CNI used in the study that led to drug's approval was cyclosporine. There are several trials nearing it's completion that utilize low dose tacrolimus instead. In 2012 Novartis published data from several trials showing superior outcomes using everolimus + low dose tacrolimus. This combination is currently approved in EU. It is also a combination that is standard of care (SOC) at our center for patients on everolimus. This study aims to demonstrate that use of everolimus as part of a maintenance immunosuppression regimen may decrease viral infections without lowering overall immunosuppression thus improving allograft function and survival. |
